But hold on, he has only managed the 'b' team - surely they should be appointing someone with a proven track record !!!!

not if their playing system in etched into theirs and the coaches brain they dont.

this is why i'm always amazed at how people seem to think that the playing stle of barca now is significantly different to when ronaldinho , etoo and yaya toure were playing there successfully during their respective times. the playing style and system has always been the same and like arsenal they have ONE styel of playing (albeit the best players on earth to implement it)...they tried varying it up but it ended up a failure in ibrhimovic....but more to do with the player than the idea.

seriously, they'll be fine

The Barca boot room! I wish Spurs at least tried to adopt a similar system. The last Spurs Manager who talked about it was Hoddle.

Personally I'd love for the next Manager to be somehow have affiliations with Spurs, his number two to be the same (and step up if necessary to replace the Manager when the time comes). Won't happen though unfortunately!

Could mean we get Sherwood. Would you be happy with that?

I said it a few times in the past.... The club rate Sherwood highly and he is being groomed to be a Spurs manager. I was told hat by several ex players and also some current directors. They had no reason to say it and no reason to lie!!!

I'm happy to give him a chance but my concern is the comment about a way of play being followed. IMO we don't really have a way of play anymore and it seems to be about luck rather than judgement
 
Sherwood might talk a good game but has done nothing to prove himself. I would be mortified if we gave him the job!

If, 5 years down the line, we have had a successfull manager in (for the period) with Tim as his assistant then I would be more open to it for sure.

from within Allen or Ingelthorpe seem more likely, esp as they have done decent enough jobs down the ranks and know the existing players and set up (good and bad!)
 
Barca has a good enough team that the next manager will experience some level of success.

That said, could see a little more Real Madrid success if Jose stays on vs. this guy.

Lol......people just don't understand the Barca system.

They play a certain way, from the first team down to the under 7's!!

Guardiola managed the B team prior to managing the 1st team and he did Ok didn't he?

We need to adopt the same thing in this country/club

I've hated him ever since the morning of the League Cup final where he proceeded to slag off Hoddle BEFORE the match and also basically insinuated that Freund wasn't fit to lace his boots and that Hoddle made a massive error choosing Freund as the first team regular over him. Great pre-match preperation that. Then during the final? Sherwood gave one of the most gutless displays I've ever witnessed and completely bottled it against Mark Hughes in midfield. Sherwood was literally pulling out of 50/50's.

Utterly disgraceful performance from him, especially after he had been giving it the big one in the media before the game.

So you don't know him?


You can personally hate him, but you can't hate him personally.
 
My Barca mate is really pleased about this appointment... in his words 'Tito used to train the legendary 12-year old Bar?ºa team where Pique, Cesc and Messi played together and apparently he is a top analyst of football' I think it is good that Barca have the quality of backroom staff that you can simply slot someone in... he knows the players, the club, the style.... and I guess he knows the expectation! He has coached at every level at Bar?ºa, and now is doing the first team.
