So he didn't get parachuted in to that job, nor start his career through billionaire connections then? It was earned off his own back

Glad we cleared that up.


Is that supposed to be a negative?


Considering he was only here a little over a year the impact he managed to have on some of you is quite staggering

I didn't say it was a negative. He talks a very good game and is clearly an intelligent guy. Whether or not he actually delivers on that is another matter, certainly with regards to his record in this country.

You're quite right about the impact he had in just over a year here. Some think he's the next SAF. Others think he's a complete donkey. I fall somewhere in between. I don't think he's a terrible manager, I just don't think he's as great as some make out he is. He would certainly still be managing in Europe if he was the top manager that some portray him to be.

Could also say the same about Sherwood, he was here for roughly 6 months and you would think he relegated us.

Sherwood worked at the club for years prior to becoming manager and was here as a player when he supposedly done a number on Hoddle whilst he played under him - he didn't just turn up as caretaker manager one day unknown to everyone.

I don't recall the same venom directed at him before though. Obviously it gets magnified when he became manager but I've not encountered it much in real life either/outside of this forum.

Everything gets magnified online, including the things you are picking up on in previous posts like AVB being our SAF to some etc

Point was that Sherwood was here a lot longer than 6 months, which was kind of key to the post I was replying to.
 
It's throwing money at some very established managers, some of whom have some pretty decent trophy cabinets at home - AVB's isn't bad.

Have a look at his company:

You may not rate it much, but it's a long way from getting sacked by Villa

I have just looked at that list. And it backs up my orginal comments nicely. The overrated, the past it and the never had it. So thanks for that.
 
Unfortunately he does not have the billionaire connections of AVB to keep getting parachuted into these jobs. The 2 poor 1/2 seasons were in the only “elite” league he managed in. As for the season he did well at Spurs well as it has often been said he had Bale make him look good, just like Chris Coleman has benefitted in the Wales job. Poch hasn’t won any trophies yet but his performance as a coach in an Elite League is absolutely in comparable with AVB. I am sure he wouldn’t trade what he is doing with Spurs for the Russian and Portuguese league trophies or even the Europa League. Poch is rightly receiving plaudits as a top coach and has spurs challenging for the PL and in the Champions League. AVB? Well he is wittering on about car crashes in China. He should know, his career in England was one.

It’s not even like AVB has one over Sherwood in the personality stakes either

He’s a bit of a jumped up brick really when things don’t go his way. Imagine the the bile that would have spewed forth if Any of those articles been attributed to Sherwood rather than the slick Portuguese one.

Just read some of those links, he is such a dingdong.
 
I got no problem putting him in the same catogory. But a little higher than AVB, because same league, same players, same season. He done better than that Charlatan


See this is where you're letting your rather perculiar hatred/obsession of AVB cloud your judgement - Tim Sherwood on the same level as a multiple trophy/title winner - there's literally no argument to be made for that being the case and if uttered aloud in real life would likely see you dragged kicking and screaming to the looney bin (or given a spot on the Sunday Supplement)

Like has already been said opportunity was given to one and not the other. When both were in an equal position...... same league..... same players.....same season....Sherwood came out on top.

he didn't though, I posted the stats last night, AVB won more and lost fewer games in that season with the same squad

The question is who is the better manager not who done better in charge of Spurs in one particular season - I'm sure I don't need to explain the difference
