OT: What next for Harry?

ArcspacE said:
Pardon?

There was a clear interview with one of our players soon after AVB was appointed where he was asked to comment on how the Potuguese is 'different' in his approach to Arry.

I'm 95% certain it was BAE

So "some players" becomes just BAE? Right.

Where are these quotes which said Harry was hardly ever at training?

Utterly pathetic and i'm not talking about Redknapp.

People literally hanging on every word he says like some infatuated teenager with a school crush. The man is long gone and i very much doubt he gives 2 bricks about any of us anymore yet people still critique every word that comes out of his mouth.

"Work hard and run about"

If all Redknapp says to the players is "work hard and run about" for a whole year yet we play good football and win games then who cares? does it matter? i'd rather that then a manager give us a 1 hour seminar about tactics and we still lose showcasing nothing the manager had spoken about in his seminar.

As for him being harsh on the QPR players...hmmmm yeh of course he's going to be harsh on a group of bottle job players that are at least 7 places below their talent suggests. He was overly critical about our players when he joined us and it seemed to work so why change a winning formula and suddenly act as if every things fine? i think the QPR fans would much rather this approach too tbh.

:ross:
Predictable outburst.
Cannot understand why you're bothered. If it's so tedious, ignore it!!!!
But fair dos, I will absolutely admit that I have 'loosened my belt' a bit around here and have perhaps been a little too relaxed in my comments...doesn't seem to bode well for diplomacy, so I'll try to dial them in eh?

I could ask you the same question steff. I mean you constantly claim posters bringing up Redknapp all the time is tedious yet you never ignore it neither so we're both guilty of the same thing.

Why did you bold the sentence about him not giving a brick btw?



Oh and Steff as i said to you before the cheerleader is hanging on every word you say again and is accusing me of something based solely on your post. It's just so so predictable it's funny now.

No quotes? Yet you're the one who kicks up a fuss if someone posts gonads from Twitter. The above post is just as bad. Please tell us when/where "some players" ever said this? As Kingdawson said its pathetic how people on here are so eager to pick at everything he says. Move on.

Leave him mate he's trying to agitate (the same thing he moans about when 'push and run' apparently does it) then will accuse you of abuse when you react.

I would prefer if people didn't respond, be it with abuse or other petty remarks, unless they're adressing the points.

So why don't you 'issue' similar advice to those starting with the abuse in the first place - or does it only work one way?

Prior to your post I can only find one post calling you a joker. IMO that wasn't really abusive. Some of the posts afterwards have veered a little off topic.
 
The quote did happen - you refusal to accept it is rather strange, seeing that you appear to have taken personal offence on the suggestion. He is who he is. I'm sure there are other posters on here who rememeber that interview with a player.

Even the quote I found so far suggests a far more hands on approach.

Here's a few more while I keep searching - in fact the interview was posted on this very forum where I actually saw it


Jermain Defoe - "What I like about him is that every game has a different approach."

Gareth Bale - "He's still learning as well as a manager but he does all the coaching and everything himself, which is great."

Brad Friedel - "He is very organised and training has been very sharp"

Player Revolt!


I do recall the interview you mentioned Arc, and it was discussed at length at the time.
 
I also remember something about Harrys training techniques and like Arc I thought it was BAE.

It may well be buried somewhere in this very thread.
 
Loads of fun stuff and quotes in the AVB thread on many a subject. :)

From pre-season:

Richard cracknell ‏@crackersTHFC
Just spoke to a current first XI player (will remain nameless) "AVB training is different class. Very inspiring"

dean parrett ‏@deano_parrett19
New gaffers quality knows what he's doing and speaks to everyone.. Everybody has a chance to impress

"You can only take people on what you see, and from what I have seen he is a very ambitious manager, he is very organised and training has been very sharp," Friedel said on TalkSPORT. "He has let us know he wants to come here to win things, so in the first couple of days, everything looks very good."

“He [Villas-Boas] is great, he’s very positive about coming here and he feels privileged to coach these players,” Sigurdsson continued.
“He’s really lively in the training sessions as well and I think all the boys are enjoying everything we’ve been doing with the football – but it’s also very hard. It looks good with him, and all of the other staff.
“I think you can see in the first couple of days here, we’ve done a few sessions and everyone’s quite fit, and that’s something that’s only going to improve in the next few days.
