Not sure how much of the AVB brouhaha is real or media generated. We had a heavy defeat to a team that is going to be challenging for the title, the players didn't play well, and now supposedly their feelings are hurt, because AVB said it was their fault.
As I've mentioned previously, not sure whether media witch hunt is too strong a term, but despite the relative success last season, as soon as there is a dip in form, or the performances are a bit flat, AVB is under threat. We haven't even got to the meat of the season and all the stories of dressing room dissent, and board room disapproval come down the pipe. Looks like 'Arry still has fans in the press corp, who are willing to go to bat..
David Hytner's article is pretty much a reversion of the *spit*daily failspit article, so not sure if he's using the same sources, or just copying and pasting. It does stink of write good of them when they are doing well, put the boot in as soon as things go a bit skewiff..
AVB was Levy's choice he's got to man up, and back him. Long term we need stability, and you won't get it by bowing to media opinion.
