TBF I doubt a manager of AVB's calibre would want to take on the Man United job.

i think he's a good coach with terrible PR skills, possibly terrible people skills, not sure if the one is any use in conjunction with the other

yeah i wanted to believe this too but (particularly wrt the defence) he was just stubbornly sending teams out to get pwned by 5s and 6s despite the stark and ample weight of evidence against it. reverted back to his suicidal bratty chelsea steez ultimately. if u really do value a high line then why would you ever do one with ebjt or dawson in?
with the midfield you just assume it was a communication breakdown with the players cos otherwise there's nothing to suggest he had any plan going there
only possible mitigation is that he hasnt ever been given the players he really wanted during his time in england - powerful line-leader, deep-lying string-puller - but still no excuse for not having the common sense to try and make the best of the not inconsiderable things he did have

That is pretty OTM really, I don't have anything to add to that.
He will be successful somewhere in the future, just not in England.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 December 2013 12:02 (ten years ago) link
Like he was better in his first season when he showed evidence of having learned from his mistakes at Chelsea and was consciously transitioning from Redknapp's system to something else but this season he threw that pragmatism out of the window. Also yeah the Bale thing.
There isn't one player signed in the summer who I think is a bad player but signing everyone from outside the Premiership was a mistake - and possibly Baldini's rather than AVB. Of all the what-ifs, the failed Benteke and Moutinho signings are the biggest.
― Matt DC, Monday, 16 December 2013 12:05 (ten years ago) link
they signed too many players in the end, it had the feel of signing people to prevent rivals from doing so.
― Legitimate space tale (LocalGarda), Monday, 16 December 2013 12:07 (ten years ago) link
Dont feel in any way inclined against him but otm re it being almost petulant, the manner he was sending teams out knowing that we'd struggle in exactly the same way as last week, last month, last year. 'nothin to do with me guv' listless management
― Bigsam: flotsam and jetsam @ whetsam? (darraghmac), Monday, 16 December 2013 12:09 (ten years ago) link
Ultimately I think what probably did for him was not getting his tactics wrong (plenty of managers have done that this season) but a sense that he was refusing to learn from his mistakes.

sandro and eriksen injuries really fucked him too (even if sandro has been unable to stem the tide of recent fiascos)

He'll win another title in his career, maybe in France or Germany. He's still ridiculously young for a manager and would really benefit from being #2 somewhere high up again (working at like Bayern, Juve or somewhere) or going somewhere with less at stake than the 3 p high profile gigs he's had so far for a while.

Poll wd admittedly benefit ito subtlety (no benefit at all afaic but) with two more midrange options, but srsly ahh nothing he's shown since day 1 at spurs says to me that he has more than one trick, and once that's getting you beaten 3-0 at home vs sam allardyce you have to at least start looking up 'new formations for dummies'
Srsly hate to say it but chelsea fans mainly otm about the guy.

i'm sure he'll be quite fine at psg, get them a bit closer to the cl, maybe win it in a crap year
somewhere without falcaos and bales tho idk
