AVBs a clown. He would have got sacked last season had it not been for Bale. Hoddle wont do much. Jurgen Klinsmann will no doubt be on their list but they may have to wait for him so Hoddle being a stop gap ?

We were two nil down against Liverpool, he should have taken off and played Defoe up front with Townsend.

Some of the decisions AVB has made have even made me wonder. Spurs fans have been criticised for failing to support their team, its down to the manager to make sure players perform on the pitch.

The most bizarre decision was when Loris got a neck injury and he went against medical advice and allowed Loris to continue.

You could clearly see that the medical team wanted him off, but Loris went back on.

I think that Harry, won't go back. But in the frame would be Guus Hiddink or Martin Jol, who was loved by the fans.

I agree that tottenham have been poor to watch.

He also did pretty well with Spurs last year but Levy went and sold their best player and, by the sounds of it, mostly replaced him with purchases he and Bandini wanted. If you want someone to rebuild a squad you need to give them more than a few months. Liverpool were 7th last year and Arsenal had what was probably their worst season in a long time (after selling Van Persie) and both clubs are doing well this season. It takes time to build a squad. AVB may not be the manager they needed but it was Levy's decision to hire him, to allow them to 'build for the future', and the moment CL is getting away from them he bottles it.

Trouble is, no club is prepared to give a manager time to build a new squad. Hopefully Moyes will be given at least this season to get his squad in shape.

If Moyes does not get into a CL spot then he is doomed.

Doubt it. I think United will stick with him.

You mean like Real Madrid last season. Or was it the time they played Arsenal you class as an easy draw.

Well drawing that Arsenal team in the semi-finals was a pretty easy draw.
