ADEBAYOR OUT TO PROVE AVB HAS GOT IT WRONG, YET AGAIN!

Less than a week after sacking AVB, in my opinion rightly for being too stubborn to his failed ideals, Emanuel Adebayor who was ostracised by the former Spurs manager has come back to life. From the onset it was all about the Togo striker. AVB had refused to call back the Togo striker who has a proven track record of scoring goals for various clubs at the top level.

The list of the clubs Adebayor has played for and proved himself included but not limited to Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid. 

So it was bizarre and lack of professional judgement on the part of AVB not to recall him when he needed goals to salvage his own skin. Some years back Fabio Capello, then as Real Madrid manager, fall out with David Beckham because the latter had signed a new contract with LA Galaxy with the intention of leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season. He stopped playing the winger. However, when he realised that, he needed the man (David Beckham) to save his job and reputation, he recalled him. As a seasoned manager of the beautiful game, this kind of precedence should have been known to the AVB and serve as a lesson that, the interest of the club comes first. 

The young manager did not learn anything from his Chelsea days where he side lined experienced campaigners of the club in favour of his new younger signings. It backfired spectacularly and he was fired. The very players he was bent on ending their careers lifted the Champions League trophy in his absence. 

If the result of today’s game is anything to by, history will repeat itself again and Adebayor would become the hero of Spurs while AVB would be watching from afar. By the look of things, the two goals Adebayor scored today is just the beginning of good things for Spurs and life after AVB.
