Chairman always demand a result every game because of mainly their ego and deluded intentions.Levy hires and fires at will without achieving his goal,Sacking Harry was a bad error of judgement whilst appointing AVB has become another poor error.

The truth is possibly Tottenham will never be contenders for the title and their prospects of finishing top 4 this season look doomed simply because their inferior goal difference.


Their forums seem to be split yet many fans who have appeared on camera wanted AVB to go.

Massive sweeping generalisation based on not much evidence. There might be a few bad chairman, but there are several out there who have good intentions and not egotistical.
 
If any of Allardyce, Pardew or Mackay go in the next 48 days (and the latter is looking increasingly likely) then Wenger will have a longer tenure at Arsenal than all the other PL managers combined (via @sportingintel)

I bet that it is also nearly as long as the last time Arsenal won a trophy!

Since the prem was born there has been 293 managers(if my maths are correct)with the vast majority of them sacked!.Managers need time at least 2 years IMO to get things right yet knee jerk reactions from nervous owners rarely allow such time.Managers in the premiership are only a few bad results from the sack with the exception of Wenger,How long will Moyes be given is anyone's guess .

The only good boardroom has been those who allow time as in Wenger,Ferguson and Moyes at Everton,Pulis pulled up trees at Stoke eventually being rewarded with the sack,It is mad.

Swansea have been run well. Newcastle stuck with Pardew last season when relegation loomed all season. West Ham are still sticking with Big Sam. Aston Villa stuck by Lambert thoughout last season too. David Moyes will still be there until at least the end of the season.

Can't disagree with the rest though, there are some silly chairmen about but that doesn't mean they all are. I agree that managers need time, although 2 years is a long time and a lot can happen in that period. IMO there should be a rule put in EVERY manager's contract which means he can not get sacked before a certain date - this date would be a certain amount of time (e.g. a year) from when the contract was signed. This would force clubs to think long term instead of looking for a quick fix.
 
Managers love getting sacked, look how much money Chelsea had to pay AVB to sack him and no doubt he will get a massive pay off from Tottenham as well. These chairman really have more money than sense. I remember reading somewhere that didn't Abramovich have to pay Porto something like £12 million to get AVB then another £10 million to pay off his contract.

Reprted to be 4.5 mill for/from Spurs..................maybe he could buy us and then he could sack himself?

Highly doubt that. Without doing much looking into it, if you haven't had a managerial position in the last 12 months then you are pretty much unemployable as a manager. Any pay off you get is based on the contract signed, so you'll only get a big pay off if you are with a top club.

Agreed,

Top flight managers cannot lose,If they succeed they are offered bigger clubs with better salary yet if they fail they then gain obscene compensation then go and find another job and so on.

AVB is indeed very well off for succeeding in Portugal and failing here.

Its mad.
 
Sherwood appointed Spurs manager until the end of the 2014/15 season.
 
Must be the perfect choice, he is English and a propa football guy.

Wonder if Pochettino is under pressure, 2 points in 6 games now ...
 
And he did not bend over backwards to keep Harris .

Why would he? There was no space for him in our coaching set up and he was retiring from football so what was he supposed to do?

Harris wasn't a coach though and who would bend over backwards to keep someone who was most likely going to sit on the bench all season long.
