Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

I'll give the guy a break when you can tell me what club he has managed before, in any ****ing league, and got any results/trophies/win%/anything that gives him creditability?

Oh .. wait .. nope, we just took a punt ..

Oh no he took a punt... maybe its about time we did.

Stop being so limited in your mindset. EVERY MANAGER before being a Manager was in another position. Wasnt Mourinho a ****in translator? What about AVB?

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

I would speculate that any of the 'long-term' prospects were not available right now.
I would speculate that anyone of age and experience who was desirable was not available now.
I would speculate that right now, foreign coaches we might want are unavailable until the end of the season, and perhaps SOME foreign coaches will look at Jol, Ramos and now AVB and speculate that they will not get the time they need at ours.

The Van Gaal thing has me interested, and what I would speculate is that he will become a part of our club in the summer perhaps at the expense of Baldini?

I don't mean for Levy, I mean for the people on this forum who want him for those reasons.

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

Just a few questions, as this has me really stumped - no agenda here, honest!

Why is promoting from within better?
Why is young better?
Why is English better?

It's not
It's not
It's not

I'm guessing that the decision was made because of a lack of better available candidates

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

No mate, I don't want Hoddle, I think he's a nut job and would be destined to fail. what I'm saying is Hoddle is a BETTER choice than Sherwood.

He has all the "positives" that everyone seems to think helps Tim, i.e. knows the club, is a good youth coach, was a PL player, etc. Plus he's actually managed at highest levels.

I guess I'm still naïve, there is no level of madness/circus Spurs won't go to, of all the appointments, this really got me. I was really hoping we weren't doing the give up on another season ****, hate remembering all those years we had **** all to play for by January.

do you remember the seasons when we didnt even look like we has a shot at europe at all?

and we still have the league and CL qualification to play for

1. Don't think anyone said it is better, but it's refreshing to see.

2. Agreed.

3. Why is foreign better? We've had plenty of foreign coaches in the past and most have failed miserably. I'm skeptical as you are but we simply don't know if the guy has the pedigree. I can see why people like yourself are annoyed though, I can see the logic in expecting the next manager to be a step up. Many of us were asking the same question when Arry was sacked i.e. is AVB a step up?

This decision will be the downfall of Daniel Levy IMO.

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

I'm in total agreement .

I never wanted AVB gone but Sherwood has my support.

18 month contract - I bet we have the option to review this at the end of the season - boom - Van Gaal gets the job in September.

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

I'm going to support him.
My choice is to be steeped in negativity.
I cannot do that.
Good luck Sherwood!
COYS!

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

Do we really???? I think we need someone to get the best out of the players and to get the best payers on the pitch in their right positions

I've seen plenty of older heads make mistakes and not click with their teams. Like wise we have all seen young upstarts rock the boat and cause a revolution

It's out of our hands as fans and he gets the chance he wanted

One thing is for sure it won't be boring

I fecking hope not! I don't want to see the words boring and Spurs in the same sentence ever again!!

Mourinho another good one. Translator to one year as assistant at Benfica before taking over. Then 1 year later he was in charge of Porto! Those are some steps up!

Exactly mate. AVB was completely unproven in English football but got not one but TWO top jobs in English football although admittedly he had success in Portugal.

1) not neccescarily better but can have its advantages...knowing set-up workings of the club....stronger bond with the club.
2) its not ....its right man right time we hope...
3) its not neccescarily but again Tims served his apprenticship....knows levy.....happens to be english....but yeah I suppose part of me (being English) wants to see young English coaches given a go....please excuse my patriotism

I don't mean for Levy, I mean for the people on this forum who want him for those reasons.

In which case, I only have two games and the success of our youth set up to base my opinion of him as a coach on. Like several others, I heard that he is really rated by the people running the club several years back. With a lack of available evidence, I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt until I know better,

Why? He owns a quarter of the club and must have spoken to the person who owns the rest before getting rid of the last manager and appointing Sherwood.

Re: Tim Sherwood -Your Manager! 18 month contract confirmed!

He doesn't have all his badges does he! Is it true he has struggled passing them, and considering that he has been at the club 4 years why doesn't he have all the badges?

I just can't see it working with Van Gaal .. Do we think the dutch guy will take the kind of ****e Levy dished out to AVB ?

Ownership has fcuk all to do with it. It will be a public lynching I tell thee... oh wait he will sack Baldini too next time.. and will survive. LOLZ
