How is getting someone in with over a year and a half experience managing a premier league club, changing the way they play football, proven to beating bigger sides more of a gamble than keeping Sherwood on who hadn't a hopes in hells chance of beating one of the top four and shows as much class as el hadji diouf

Because Sherwood, at Tottenham, is a known quantity.

MoPo at Tottenham is unknown, and thus more of a gamble. Not to say that it wouldn't pay off.
 
Timmeh wouldn't. Apparently Hull were most at risk of conceding yesterday when they had the ball :s

If you actually think that's a stupid thing to say then perhaps you are not quite as well read about football theory as you think you are.

Only a stupid manager would say such a thing right?
 
Because Sherwood won almost 60% of his PL games in charge. Look, I don't think for one second that Sherwood was the answer, but, so far Pochetino hasn't done anything spectacular at all to warrant being given our top job. The 40 odd million he spent on Osvaldo, Waynyama and Lovren also looks poor value for money.

Lovren was one of the best centre halves in the league last season.

Wanyama missed part of the season through injuries, but he was also a player the likes of Arsenal and man Utd were after.

Osvaldo was a gamble because of his temperament, I'd still have wanted him at spurs though.

Keeping Sherwood on, giving him a full summer, and a full season is just as much of a gamble then bringing in a new guy.

Osvaldo was his old teammate from Espanyol, so it was reasonable to think he'd be able to control him.

It was a another training ground incident wasn't it, like his famed one with Lamela?

Another way of looking at it is that he should have been well aware how volatile he is and stayed well clear.

I think that Poch has done a good job at Southampton but their transfers last summer were patchy at best. Maybe this would be less of a problem where there are others involved in the transfer process.

I wouldn't really have faith in any of Poch, FdB or Benitez in charge of transfer tbh. They are all much more specialist coaches, which with our structure, suits us fine.

I agree but obviously we want them to have an input.

I think that all three coaches have their strengths and weaknesses and I'm just trying to get a handle on what they are.
 
Hoddle is backing Poch:


Pochettino would ‘work wonders’ as Tottenham manager, insists Spurs legend


Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle has told talkSPORT Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino would “work wonders” if he is appointed the club’s next manager.

Spurs are on the search for their tenth boss in 13 years under chairman Daniel Levy having given Tim Sherwood the boot at the end of the season after just six months in charge.

Pochettino, who has impressed during his 18 months at the Saints helm, is current favourite for the job, and Hoddle believes the 42-year-old Argentine would bring the best from Spurs’ expensively assembled, yet underperforming, squad.

“I think Pochettino is a super young manager,” the Spurs hero told the Warm Up.

“He has done a brilliant job at Southampton and I think he would be a very good acquisition for Tottenham.

“I’ve been very impressed with the way he’s had Southampton playing this year, and I think with the squad at Tottenham I think he could do real wonders there.”

Hoddle also insisted Tottenham have to focus on bringing some continuity to the club, and warned Spurs that they may struggle to climb into the top four if they don’t put a stop to their revolving door of managerial appointments.

“I think Spurs have to look at some continuity in the long-term and if they don’t do that they’ll struggle.

“Changing the manager too many times in a short period of time isn’t healthy for the club or the success the fans want.”

De boer said he is not interested in complete control and wants to focus just on the footballing side

Of course it's a stupid thing to say.

He could have said that they're most at danger when they give the ball away (true) or that his team were innefective at breaking Hull down (also true).

His suggestion that Hull having the ball when defending a lead is a bad thing is what I'd expect from a "two drunks in a car park" manager.

Everyone loves this 'win percentage' stat mate, but let's face it, stats can be used for all sides of the coin which is why it's always best to rely on your own eyes and ears IMO…here's one for you


@EwanRoberts
For all Sherwood's boasts about his win percentage, he's also got the highest LOSS percentage (37%) of any Spurs boss since Hoddle (43.2%).
Loss percentages (all comps) of last six Tottenham managers: Sherwood 37%, AVB 20%, Redknapp 25.2%, Ramos 31.4%, Jol 30%, Santini 30.7%.

Note that the above stat INCLUDES all cup matches, whereas the win stat trotted out for Timbo is only Premiership matches.

In every possible sense, eyes, ears, mind, even stats, the likes of Pochettino and De Boer represent a negligible gamble compared to having retained him.
