Andre Villas-Boas - Head Coach

I'm reading this as "phew, we're no longer particularly worried about AVB being brick, so let us instead ponder the possibility that he may leave after having won the league at spurs".

Happy with that.

Poor King Dawson
He just can't let it go!

Remind me how long the average Premier League manager stays in a job for again?

I dont know im sure the statos on here would be able to tell us - three or four years sounds about right. Then again the stats could be skewed by various factors for example they may have been fired, or die or are just plain brick.
 
Sweeper keeper
He is rather blinding
Young and very French too
Signed by AVB for you!


(to 'Super Trooper' by the MIGHTY Abba...I'm thinking of quitting the day job. Thoughts?:ross:)

It is a little out of date admittedly (I will try to find something more current) but this piece from a few years back says 1.4 years

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/21052010/58/premier-league-managers-1-4-years-jobs.html

The really stand out thing for me in the piece is that at the time it was written there were only eight managers in the top four English divisions who had been in their job for more than five years.
 
that stat is only part useful really though Milo, if you think about it - managers are given little time to prove themselves if they do not hit the ground running or they have a bad start and a trigger happy chairman - if a manager is successful then he won't be getting the boot which is the main reason for it being so low.

I think that you are right but even a manager with a previously good track record doesn't tend to last long if results turn against them.

champions league? what good is that if it doesn't consist of a sooper dooper tactical genius who plays sweeper keeper and makes Bale's all around game improve because of 1 good game?

Mate.
You're missing the entire point of AVB and what he sees (along with Levy) IMO.

He sees US as the club who will win major honors in the coming years, and he sees US as the 'project' which is soon to explode into successful action.
New training centre.
New stadium coming.
Good squad to be improved yet further.
Young manager.

His whole ethos is based on taking total control of everything (I wouldn't be surprised if he dictates the brew of tea in the canteen pots - if there is tea-if there is a canteen!!!!!!!) and he is NOT going to get that stepping in somewhere like Milan, etc, etc. No, I think that IF it works out, he'll be here at least a decade and that when he goes it will be for a national team job. Either that or he'll get the tin-tack down the line.

BTW, nice to see people worrying about him being poached! ;-)

Could not agree more.
