Tito Vilanova

[NaijaSpurs]

Seems he will be stepping down due to a relapse of his throat cancer. Barca have scheduled a press conference for this evening

Amazingly Paddy Power have AVB as the 2/1 favourite to take over

Shame if true.

Hiring AVB doesn't sound like the Barca way of finding a manager.

 

[Robbo]

Well wouldn't that be typical Spurs; the Barcelona manager gets a cancer setback and has to quit, only for Barca to nick AVB.

Best of luck to Tito, sad news.

Now Barca please stay away from our manager!

It's a shame that instead of focussing on Tito and wishing him well, the press jump straight onto the speculation of who will replace him.

All the best to him AVB showed some class tonight not rising to the press bait. Was Villanova the one Mourinho poked in the eye?

Horrible disease.

Good luck to him in his ongoing fight.

None of the media sycophants will be reminding him of that classy little episode, though.

Ever since then I have had zero respect for him even though he is one of the best managers in the world. Just no class

Why the fudge would that be mentioned when he's fighting cancer again?
