The record's good – it is better than any Premier League manager in the history of this club. There has been no one at this club who has done a better job at the Premier League. My record stands for itself.
When I took over I told the chairman this would be a very difficult task to finish in the top four with the squad of players you've got. So I was very up front and honest with him. And I was still put in the position and just tried to do the best I can. It looks like the top-four has been a bridge too far unfortunately. I don't know if someone else could do better. If someone comes in with a magic wand perhaps. The only way for someone to do better is you need time with it.
More from that Guardian article:
Why not ask for one or two players in January then? You don't seem to have any issues about dragging everything else out into the media.

The more he opens his mouth the more he irritates me
The cretin always has something negative to say about our club
What a conundrum Tim Sherwood is!!! Many things he says are perfectly spot on ... "Homegrown players at Liverpool are embraced," he said. "They love homegrown players at Liverpool Football Club. Tottenham fans like signings. " "I only play young players who are good enough and at the moment there are two players playing better than Andros, in my opinion."
You cannot argue with those statements but they are simply not something anyone with a bit of grey matter would say publicly. All it does is rub people the wrong way. I actually think he could make a really good manager in a few year's time once he feels he is secure in a manager's role and not simply keeping the seat warm for someone else. However this will only happen if he changes his brash attitude - something which will not be easy considering it is exactly the same attitude he showed as a player - and actually understand his role is as much influencing behaviour as it is putting the right 11 players on a pitch.
"I'm getting the vibe that the players think don't they have to play for their club before they go on World Cup duty," Well, that's what you're there for, macaron! To motivate them, to make them want to do well for the club!!! If - by your own admission - you cannot do it, you should have no complaints come next summer.
Tim Sherwood has continued his campaign to remain as Tottenham Hotspur manager for next season
