Not on Facebook, but would like to hear his pearls of wisdom. Their introduction of Sherwood was about as sugar coated as you can get - suspect the writer was taking the tinkle, but Tim probably lapped it up.

Well it's 4-4-2, innit
Seems the same question follows him wherever he goes :

Excellent, some great questions in there. Too many to pick the best.
The full live Q&A is here for anyone who can be bothered.

Only a few seconds in before Timmeh mentions his great track record at developing young players at Spurs.
And it was he who suggested Danny Rose would have a better future playing at left back (is that true?)
Gave up after that. Breakfast with Sherwood is not the ideal start to my day

Tim Sherwood has been at Swindon for three months, he's won just 19% of games, fans are turning on him and he's only taken questions during a publicity stunt for Football Manager
It's been three months since Tim Sherwood rolled into Wiltshire to take charge of Swindon Town… and life in the Football League shadows has proved to be very gloomy indeed.
Little more than a year after leading Aston Villa to Wembley for the FA Cup final and with memories of a sixth-placed Premier League finish with Tottenham fresh in the memory, the 48-year-old was unveiled as the Robins' director of football on November 10 at a modestly-attended press conference in this curious footballing backwater.
The gentle ripple of staged applause emanating from a handful of the club's staff at the back of the County Ground suite that day must have immediately alerted him to the reality of his new billing. What's followed has been even more sobering.
In his 91 days at the helm, Sherwood has presided over 16 matches in all competitions. Swindon have won three, the first of which came just 48 hours and two training sessions after his appointment.
They've been beaten at home by non-League Eastleigh in the FA Cup, been dumped out of the EFL Trophy, again at home, by League Two Luton and in the battle against the drop they're showing as much buoyancy as a stone-laden gilet.
Their win rate under their new boss stands at just 19 per cent and, on Sunday, they lost at home to Oxford - a seventh defeat in eight at the hands of their yellow neighbours from 25 miles down the A420.
Sherwood wasn't even at the game. Supporters noticed. This is as fierce a rivalry as exists at League One level and the unexplained absence of the man meant to be leading their team into the fight did not sit well.
Then again, much of Sherwood's reign has remained unexplained.
The Borehamwood boy was appointed after a year out of the game and with his new side - famous for a 1969 League Cup final victory over Arsenal and a one-season cameo in the top flight in the early 1990s - desperately in need of a pick-me-up.
Sherwood did, however, have time to answer questions in a publicity stunt for the video game Football Manager - another event keenly observed by supporters who feel increasingly disconnected from their club.
And it's his aloofness which is driving a wedge between the 6,000-odd regulars at the County Ground and their commander in chief.
Fans' angst and ire were hardly soothed in the January transfer market, either.
In November, Sherwood promised experience but the bulk of Swindon's winter-window acquisitions are red raw.
Three Chelsea youth-teamers arrived in the shape of Charlie Colkett, Islam Feruz and Fankaty Dabo, a fourth player from Stamford Bridge - Dion Conroy - penned a permanent deal, and a contract was handed to former Brighton youngster Jesse Starkey.
Between them, they had just 58 professional appearances prior to joining the Robins.
Swindon did satiate supporters somewhat with the re-signing of Nicky Ajose and Ben Gladwin - both returning for their third stints - while Rohan Ince was borrowed from Brighton.
But the fans remained confused. Seven loans, when only five are permitted in an EFL matchday squad? And two, Feruz and Ince, with upcoming court dates?
Ince is charged with wounding with intent and faces trial on February 13, while Feruz admitted to driving an £80,000 Porsche without insurance at Glasgow's Justice of the Peace Court on February 1 and will return for sentencing later this month.
Of course, Swindon did their due diligence. They were aware of both players' back-stories - indeed, Power even cited their indiscretions as a reason for overloading on loan players - but the club's erratic and disjointed communications policy has left fans scrambling for clarity.
The management structure at the County Ground hardly offers anything of the sort - below Sherwood there is head coach Williams, sporting director Seamus Brady and first team coach Ross Embleton. There's also a general manager, Steve Anderson, who runs the administrative side of the club.
Sherwood isn't on a contract, meaning he could walk away without notice at any time. For most clubs that would be a giant risk, especially for one of the 'biggest appointments' they've ever made, but the former Spurs midfielder is close friends with Power.
He was best man at the Swindon chairman's wedding, roomed with him as players at Norwich and the pair have set up businesses together. After Power took charge in Wiltshire in 2013, Sherwood lent Swindon many of Tottenham's brightest talents and routinely visited on matchdays to offer his words of wisdom.
What's more, then-Swindon manager Mark Cooper was regularly summoned to Spurs' Enfield training camp for debriefs and many of the players sent down the M4 would do so with the promise of game time.
After the loss to Oxford, Williams told the media that he had assumed total control of team affairs for the game.
When asked where Sherwood had got to, he said: 'I know there is a reason but it would be unfair for me to try and answer that for him.
'I don't pry and I am sure if Tim was given the chance to speak and tell people why he was not here, he will do.'
The Swindon director of football declined Sportsmail's interview request on Wednesday.
His appointment at the County Ground was the League One equivalent of mates' rates.
It's just this particular friend doesn't seem to have brought many benefits at all.

- Swindon Town unveiled Tim Sherwood as director of football on November 10
- He was given control of transfers, tactics and put in charge of team selection
- Three months later, the ex-Tottenham boss has a win rate of just 19 per cent
- Sherwood has not attended a single pre or post-match press conference
- He was not at the County Ground for his team's home derby defeat by Oxford
- Fans are turning on him after he didn't fulfil promise of experienced signings

I must confess to a bit of a secret fantasy this season. Namely that a struggling West Ham would dispense with Bilic and bring in Sherwood as his replacement.
If there is a GHod, please make it happen.

Some people actually wanted this fudging mug to represent our club.

In fairness, I thought his overall results with us meant he deserved a chance. I'm happy that Levy thought otherwise though!
