Sherwood appointed full time manager at Spurs

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?

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.

 

Doubt it is based on one win. He has been there for years

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.

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.

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.
