ratio_decidendi Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 So it looks like Tim Sherwood has achieved the position of full time manager at Tottenham. Will this decision pay off? Will he, perhaps, emulate the success of similar rookie manager Pep Guardiola? Is this a victory for English coaches around the country, desperate to fend off an invasion of foreign managers? Or is it maybe a disastrous, suicidal decision for Spurs who might have been better off with a different coach or even sticking with AVB? What are your thoughts?

Kingsland Red Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 Strange decision based on one win against a severely weakened defensive line. Maybe no other suitable coach available. Can he do better than other internal appointments like our own Wigley and Gray ? With Levy, and Hoddle on the prowl, he'll certain be under scrutiny from the off.

SuperMikey Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 (edited) Why do Spurs always hire gobsh!tes as managers? AVB was the last person they hired in a while who was relatively likeable.. Sherwood will be gone by April. Edited 23 December, 2013 by SuperMikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 I actually think it might work. I thought he came across well over the last few days. He could be Spurs equivalent of David O'Leary taking over at Leeds. Chuck the youngsters in and off we go to the Champions League. I could be wrong, it could be a complete cluster**** but hey, I don't really care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 Hilarious decision. He'll be gone by the end of the season. I imagine they asked a few of their targets and got nowhere, I personally think AVBs sacking was a tad rediculous but there you go, Sherwood could be very good ? Spurs didnt show much of an improvement yesterday. We were very poor and gifted them atleast two goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 He's keeping the seat warm for another - currently unavailable target - and I doubt if he'll be there next August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 23 December, 2013 Share Posted 23 December, 2013 Realistically, there's no big name who's actually available at the moment, which makes the whole AVB sacking even more knee-jerk and badly thought out. The rumour is that AVB was unhappy with his lot at Spurs in the summer and wanted to leave then - if that's true, Levy would have been better off doing a deal then when there were LOADS of big name managers available. By the sound of it, they've approached a number of people with a view to taking over at the end of this season, Louis Van Gaal and Frank De Boer being the main ones, but neither are prepared to jump ship until the summer (De Boer is chasing a 4th straight title with Ajax and Van Gaal has the small matter of the World Cup with the Dutch national team). Giving Sherwood 18 months just about demonstrates a bit of commitment on the club's part while also not making it too expensive to ditch him when someone better is available in the summer.

dubai_phil Posted 24 December, 2013 Share Posted 24 December, 2013 As I said in the Post Match reaction thread, another stunning tactical victory by NC & MP. Play Krap, get MP out of the frame and screw the Spuds over at the same time. Well worth the dropped 3 points in our CL or NOT Europa League season... Rope a Dope wasn't it Granty?
