AVB: Abramovich went back on his word

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has blasted his former club Chelsea and its owner.

Villas-Boas lasted just nine months at Stamford Bridge despite being handed a three-year deal by Roman Abramovich and has claimed that the Russian went back on his word.

Why AVB has decided to come out with these comments now is a little confusing since things are going well on the pitch at the Lane. Keep focused on what counts AVB, Spurs!

“There are times in football when it’s easier to replace the coach.

“But when you embrace a project you believe in people. There was a commitment from Abramovich and his word was given.

“Yet there was a premature departure.”

Changing the subject to Spurs, AVB said: “We’re achieving what we’ve been asked to achieve.

“We’re still in the Europa League and third in the Premier League.”
