Originally posted by Andrew_C:this is probably a good place to ask, opinions on LVG? he's looking likely to take over as Spurs manager after the world cup. He cant come soon enough.

Great coach, especially with young players (look at Ajax 1995). Help build Bayern to the way there are now. Same goes for Barca.
But he is a bit of an asshole, who wants all the credit. Horrible with the media, I think with the English tabloids that could be a problem.

we have a lot of young talent, so that sounds promising.

The English media love ripping into foreign coaches, yet they kiss British Coaches arses. They gave AVB a hard time, now Tim is doing worse and they dont ask any tough questions lol.

I'd love LVG at Spurs, his CV would be the best we've had since I've been a fan.

FFS you've jinxed us, put them in the remaining 6 and Utd might finish above us

With Van Gaal you can't really blame the media haha. He is just not good with the media. Don't really know how to explain it but he always feels like they are against him and want him to fail.
