the Tim Sherwood man love thread


The ultimate clam and coward. That article makes my blood boil.

"It has become a little bit murky,” he says. “When he was brought in we were told he was going to be in charge of everything. Three months later, when things were going badly, Luke Williams was back in charge. It’s looks like when the going got tough, he got out. We’re now seeing him disengage from the club."
 
There can't be any of them left now!

Admittedly I don't venture on here as often as I used to, but statto was a fierce supporter of Dim Tim if I recall. Does he still post?

(Not turfing you out if you are reading this Statto, just I recall you being amongst the more vocal Tim fans)
 
Sit down, get comfortable, and be entertained by the following inspirational read from Neil Ashton in yesterday's Sun :

TIM SCARES PEOPLE
Tim Sherwood is a straight-talking, forward-thinking antidote to the yes-men in football… so it’s a shame people are afraid of him

Neil Ashton says the ex-Spurs boss is a refreshing character who transformed the careers of Harry Kane and Danny Rose
THE passion is there. So, too, is the desire to develop top class footballers.
Tim Sherwood, out of the game since he left an ill-conceived consultancy role at Swindon Town, is itching to get back into it.

His record at Tottenham, where he was head of a coaching set-up that brought through Harry Kane, Andros Townsend, Nabil Bentaleb, Ryan Mason, Steven Caulker and Jake Livermore, should open doors.
Kane would fetch £100m in today’s transfer market. All the others have been sold by Spurs for combined fees of £56m.

The reality is that people in the game are afraid of Sherwood.
He is a straight-talker, confident enough in his background as a player, coach and manager at the highest level to speak his mind.
Sparks will fly in his company, but he knows when he has crossed the line.
At Swindon he was given a two-match stadium ban for confronting a referee at half-time during a game against Bury last season. It was a mistake, he was punished, he accepts it.
When he was manager of Aston Villa he tore a hamstring when he put his boot through the water bottles on the edge of the technical area.
He knows that raw emotion, that eagerness, that frustration can be better channelled elsewhere.

In Sherwood’s view there are too many yes-men in the sport, too many people safeguarding their careers and protecting their positions. Unquestionably, Sherwood is right about that.
He is a different beast, with his Premier League title winner’s medal as captain of Blackburn Rovers a useful back-up in any argument.

Sherwood knows what it takes to become an elite footballer.
He has that advantage over most, making his debut for Watford at the age of 18 before going on to play for Norwich, Blackburn, Tottenham, Portsmouth and three times for England.
His enthusiasm, especially when it comes to the development of young, English players, is infectious.
He was one of them once, making his way into the Watford team when the only overseas player in the squad was the Dutchman Jan Lohman.
The landscape is very different now.

Sherwood is the type to cut through all the hype and hullabaloo of the Premier League, stripping it all away to focus on ability and mentality.
He won a battle with Daniel Levy at Tottenham when he risked jeopardising Roberto Soldado’s market valuation by picking Kane ahead of him.
Sherwood believed Kane was out-performing the £26m signing and lobbied hard for the Englishman’s inclusion in the side.
That pathway, established when Sherwood was working with Harry Redknapp at White Hart Lane, is still in existence today.
The next generation - with Harry Winks, Josh Onomah, Cameron Carter-Vickers - can thank Sherwood for the part he had to play in their development.

Sherwood is not solely responsible, but his single-minded approach certainly created opportunities for young Spurs players.
Beyond that are the intricacies, the trained coaching eye that can be the difference between success and failure.
It was Sherwood’s call to switch Danny Rose, signed from Leeds United, to left-back from left-wing.
Rose, probably England’s first choice left-back, is probably worth £50m.
That is the business side of the sport, but the satisfaction for Sherwood is watching players, nurturing and helping players blossom.

It is obvious he has a knack for it.
This week he has been watching the Under-21 championship, worried by the perpetual shortcomings and weaknesses of England’s kids when it came to the crunch against Germany.
He sees the talent, but not enough first team opportunities as they are making their way through Premier League academies.
Sherwood would have most of them out on loan, making them learn the hard way and toughening up to prepare them for the challenges ahead.
It is an old-school approach, a throwback to a time when English boys could match the mentality of any group of players in the world.
For Sherwood, that is the way forward.


What a load of sycophantic tosh! But actually quite funny to read.
Timmeh getting his media buddy to talk him up. He so deserves another crack at management.
"Tim Sherwood scares people" - yeah, scared that he might go anywhere near their club.
The man is utterly, utterly deluded. And arrogant. Re-writing history.
You'd like to think everyone has seen through him by now. Except maybe if Gold & Sullivan took him at his word : now that would be fun.
