I think he was narrow minded to only increase the captivity to 36k, could have been more ambitious

Is it true that he had someone taken out of the stadium in Tromso because they were shouting "SACKED IN THE MORNING"?

AVB is sounding like a bit of a diva.

Just added the video to the article

It sounds better than it reads. The journo is a mug

Avb makes me cringe, what is he talking about 'human values' he just rambles trying to sound articulate.

Yeah so they said on Talksport Sizzle, Thudd

They didn't mention he was shouting anything else, but still, he does seem a bit sensitive to this sort of thing doesn't he? Maybe it comes from actually never having played the game himself.

No confirmation AVB got him kicked out is there?

Sizzle - of course I'm going to watch, it is like rubber necking at a car crash. Don't take it personally, I'm not attacking your club, it is just the sham that is AVB, if things don't work out for him and he gets sacked where do you think it is for him? I think he has this image of himself, he's obviously based some stuff he learnt of Jose but is painfully trying to take that while remaining his own man and forcing it all together. Do you rate him? He stubbornness for me is a sing of weakness in a young man not particularly assured of himself so completely inflexible as a result.

What does Avb actually say there? It doesn't even make sense most of it.

He's just defending himself,

The journalist (Neil Ashton) is an Arsenal fan, and a staunch hater of AVB, he's not shown himself in a professional light

Fair play to AVB they've been at him for months

It might not be true that he was kicked out, but it does appear AVB lets things get to him judging by the public comments he makes, which is fair enough some of the time. Other times I'd rather he ignored it.

Ashton was being a expletive, no doubt about that I agree but while he just came across as a bit spiteful, even showing off AVB didn't really answer very well, he just wasn't making sense and honestly I remember this from his days we had him in charge he'd have this knack of trying to sound intellectual and some clever new breed of manager but wasn't really saying anything and actually really failing to connect at the same time. Everything felt like a buzz word but without real weight. In fact didn't Felstein have to try and stop the exchange.

As I say this is not point scoring against Tottenham, I had this same view when he was at Chelsea and it made me cringe then, I just think this guy is a complete fake.

Journos seen to have free reigns to write what they want, I'm glad AVB showed done backbone

He was right in what he said. United and City were below us and the manager out articles all about AVB

Pathetic stuff from avb. Just ignore these caants!

If you didn't make ridiculous subs like taking Lennon off and sitting 9th in the table maybe people wouldn't write these articles

Haha fair enough if you're a backer, we all need to at least give the positive option a try. I'll check back in with you later in the season, not for 'I told you so' but genuine curiosity, I tired to back AVB myself. Obviously my mind it made up about him.

As you say he has age on his side and he has experienced quite a lot in his short managerial career to date, he's not stupid so perhaps he can learn from it and improve from it.

I just question if he has a certain X factor material that managers need, tactical astuteness and the correct man management / dealing with the media to be successful.

Harry lacked a lot from his locker but made up for it in other areas where he excelled and being assured was one of them, the people are pound you feed off it and as a manager that is key.

I saw avb's car driving off today by nortumberland park. His driver was speeding

He looked very pi$$ed off I understand now after this interview

I've always been supportive of managers, even Ramos

Well I think you've got to trust the powers that be at your club to make the right appointment, after all they've got the benefit of advisors, stats and the interview process. Of course it doesn't always work out that way but once it is done you might as well get behind them, although I note you say Ramos and not Gross! Even I thought Ramos was going to a good job, was a little worried I think!

Harry was the right man at the right time and I think replacing him once he made you co petite to a point was always going to be a young continental manager and one that was apparently modern and progressive, AVB certainly talks the right game to fit with 'projects' and 'philosophies'.

In the future, this might be seen as evidence of the pressure getting to him.

That said, I think my opinion of him just went up.

Neil Ashton is a sheyt stirring and always has been.
