This. I know more than a few Spurs supporters, they said he is tactically inflexible and positioning for players is paramount. Change 'positioning' with 'pointless passing to nowhere', sound familiar?

tactical inflexibility does sound concerning though I'd be happy with a strong focus on positioning after our current managers seemingly near zero focus on that (especially defensively)

In many ways AVB seems like a likely name to be on some kind of shortlist at the very least. He's probably the most experienced 38 year-old manager around, which provides the double benefit of knowledge and ambition. On the latter, I'm certain he'll see the Premier League as a place where he still has a point to prove.

He's also managed many top class players, has experience in England, and won domestic and European titles. A good stint at Zenit so far, winning the league last season and still in the hunt this year (currently third but only two points off top after a poor start - which seemingly had a lot to do with AVB's focus on the CL group stage, where they managed five wins and one loss before being knocked out by Benfica).

His record at Spurs was odd, really. He finished 5th, one point off fourth, in season one with 72 points (OMG @davek!!) before losing Bale and, by all accounts, having the money spent for him on a mixed bag of players. He wasn't doing too badly trying to integrate 6 or 7 new faces into his squad before he was sacked. There was obviously a disconnect between him and Levy, and one doesn't get the feeling that Moshiri wold see himself as the quasi-DoF Levy seems to be. As for Chelsea, they wanted something very different to what a then 33 year-old manager could offer.

I'm sure @The Esk will abstain from comment, but all the boxes seem to be ticked here. He'd be an interesting choice for me and, after a few blips on his CV, someone you expect might have gained a little grit and authority to go with the early promise.

Very well written post and you've certainly put up a decent case for AVB.

My scumbag window cleaner who is a redhsoite was saying ealrier that he has heard we are signing Brendan Rogers! I told him if that happened I would kill Knewright, Moshiri and him ( the window cleaner) before taking my own life!

Surprised you couldn't see right through his attempt at winding you up

Track record in the premier league?

Young, not won things, wasn't a player

We have money now - we should be gong for experienced proven title winners. Newcastle got Benitez (realise not popular on here but successful)

We should go for a top manager. Pellegrini fits that bill and available. Mourinho normally joins clubs who would traditionally be competing for the title. But you never know - if Giggs gets Man U he might fancy a different sort of challenge - especially after his recent Chelsea experience
