Good appointment, he will be at Spurs for quite some time! Quality is permanent, form is temporary..
I have always liked AVB and will support him wherever he goes, just like Jose!
Chelsea is a tough club to manage when taking over the squad and having as mentioned, the my way or highway, you first have to earn the respect of the players then implement certain aspects! He tried to pull a Jose from day one with an old guard/adopted team, recipe for disaster!
Will be interesting to see how HE performs in the Transfer Market, not having the Russian pulling strings...
Overall, good appointment and makes me even more excited for the season to get started!
I may have misintepreted you but AVB had full control of the transfer dealings at Chelsea. Roman did not interfere there
He didnt. Some of there were already pre thought. He will learn from his mistakes, and wont have as many people standing in his way either
Who were pre-thought? You can make a case for Lukaku although I doubt AVB did not want him. I agree that he will have as many people standing in his way thought but he needs to learn from his own mistakes

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Spurs move for Gylfi Sigurðsson before AVB was appointed?
Anyway, I think he'll do well at Spurs. The players are more suited to how he wanted to play and if he can get Moutinho as a replacement for Modric (if he goes), Spurs will be right up there challenging the top four.
They hadnt, had sort of agreed figures, but it had stalled as there was no manager.
I didn't say signed him, just moved for him, which they did. They may have asked AVB if he approved when he was appointed but that's not the point.
Partly is. The question would have then arose if he had been against the deal, would he have had the power to veto it. Not sure its merely coincidence that having stalled for a week, the deal is done less than 24 hours after he arrived.
That's just a flat out lie. When Chelsea signed De Bruyne, AVB said it wasn't his signing but "club policy".
