At least we can still sing the Eriksen song............

It was reported last week that his English is fine. He uses the translator for press only to make sure his words are taken as intended.
AVBs English is excellent and he still used odd phrases that were taken advantage of
I dont know a great deal about him as a manager, but if its in the Ajax tradition we could do a lot worse I guess
who is the character in charge at atletico madrid currently? he is doing a sterling job and doing so completely under the radar.
hopefully he could get eriksen firing aswell
I just look at him and he looks a winner, yes the football philosophy is there, he had vertonghen as captain and got best out of eriksen he knows everyone in Europe would not be a joke in the media and at 43 is perfect age for a project, he must be bored of winning the Dutch title now and want the ultimate challenge, he has less flaws than every other candidate
I'd love for De Boer to be given the opportunity but he's got to be more than a bit wary at the fate of his would-be predecessors. Just hoping the chance to reunite with Jan and Eriksen might make him seriously consider.
Supposedly he can speak it to a decent level to his players but chooses a translator in interviews to avoid mistranslation by the press.
He is still favourite with the bookies

But remember Redknapp WAS the next England manager, so who the hell knows - all I know is that if Frank doesn't want to come then we really are in the shitter as like the players January window, its not easy getting a good manager as good managers dont tend to be sniffing around a week before Christmas
"Through various channels it has become clear to me that Spurs are interested, but the club has not approached Ajax.
"So for us there is not much to say about it. Frank focuses entirely on Ajax."
Doesn't exactly sound like 'ruling out' to me.
Agreed- it's trendy to bash Spurs now (to be fair it was liverpools turn a couple years back). Don't read too much into most of these articles.
One could speak the Queen's English and still be mistranslated by the press
Exactly what I thought. It sounds much more like the expected "Im not talking about it until there is official contact".
Another name to throw into the hat is Fatih Terim. He's only returned as interrim manager at Turkey at the moment (who aren't going to the WC but won 3 of their last 4 matches since he returned) and they guy has had a pretty strong career. The only issue I have is that his English is OK (at best) so he might struggle with the media and would need a Turkish #2 to handle some of the instructions.
I'd certainly rather have Hiddink but Terim also has pretty strong credentials.

Saw this on my facebook. Not going to say its genuine because I dont know the person that well... But it could well be.
Bergkamp at an airport?
