I'm fairly sure that when you are in the middle of a period of employment that you have a contract for - and your boss tells you to fuck off, and pays you to leave - its a sacking.I was thinking that it can't be a sacking...
I mean, just going off the normal sacking criteria, I've not seen AVB as a pundit on Soccer Saturday or ITV once since then..
Virgin Islands, really?
you're getting mighty anal, about something I'm treating as a joke. Maybe there were some pub sides you can drag out as well................

If it makes you feel better about him, then lets say that he sacked Tottenham - at which point I'm sure that Levy would have been screwing him or his next employers for every penny.
But he didn't, did he?
It might have been reasonably amicable, and probably came as a relief for AVB, as he realised that one way or another, he was out of his depth.
He's the ultimate hipsters' choice.Why is FDB such a popular opinion?

So what are we meant to compare if not the results and performance? How do you quantify his ability or even suitability?Not sure it's really fair to compare by win percentages, all the other managers listed have all managed bigger/more successful clubs than Southampton so you'd generally expect the win percentage at that club to be higher anyway.

If you have a contract and you argue with the boss and walk out during a meeting saying "I quit" then it's not a sacking, but if your boss says "do you think you should stay" and you say "I don't think I can do the job any more" and your boss agrees, what is that? I think that's more likely to be what happened, and it's neither sacking or resigning, just kind of mutual

For what it's worth, Sherwood said on Goals on Sunday that Baldini consults closely with the manager and nobody is signed without the managers agreement.
Apologies good sir, I shall revise my findingsNonsense my good man, Ajax is far too mainstream. Tuchel is the hipsters' selection.
And if you're a manager you should be kicking up a fuss if a DOF spends a lot of money on a player you don't want.You do realise absolutely no-one will take this on board and you will still see plenty of "DOF brought this player over the managers head" nonsense

When did this actually happen?And if you're a manager you should be kicking up a fuss if a DOF spends a lot of money on a player you don't want.
All the stuff I've read about him feels like it could've been lifted word for word from an article on AVB at Porto. At least AVB had done well in Europe to counter the fact he'd only excelled in one "one fish" league.Don't mean this to come off offensive at all, but you could use the search tool on this board alone and fine a plethora of well-written pieces in advocacy of hiring him or at least a spread of reasons why.
I don't think it did.When did this actually happen?
