Sadly, it appears we're heading for another managerial master-stroke appointment by a man who appears to knows less about football than a PE teacher (no Tim, I'm not looking at you)
One would have imagined he learnt his lesson with the last media-created flavour-of-the-month manager who couldn't speak English and a few years later with a man who he clearly didn't trust enough to implement his long-term vision
Yes, I'm sure FdB would have (potentially) costed us a few more bob but how many times in the past has arguing over 5 pence costed us dearly - Moutinho, Willian, etc. just to name a few
This clown is a nothing man, blown up by a pathetic media agenda, possibly half-fueled by his agent and built on results poorer than some managers below him (including Pulis!). Absolutely no substance or indication of quality, experience or long term plan besides taking credit for players who were already at the club (Comolli's men anyone?) and a few wins against relegation fodder. Hipsters - assemble and commence circle-jerking - his name is of Latin origin!
If AVB was a side-step from Redknapp (separate debate all together) than surely this is a step backwards? How can fans who less than six months ago wanted AVB's head on a stick following 2 draws and a loss all of a sudden find themselves contempt with a far inferior solution? How are we going to progress, attract and most importantly retain our quality players with such names? Is this entire premise built on the bizarre assumption he would resurrect Lamela's career simply as a result of his nationality?
I couldn't give less of a bulldog's paw how 'unpopular' opinion against Dan is on this forum, and I appreciate the 100+ great aspects ENIC have done for the club over the last decade - but appointing managers is a separate argument all-together (my only gripe with him) and it appears we're heading down the road of utter mediocrity and hilarity all over again. Same old Spurs.
