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 ..

Remind me again how Bill Nic came about? Oh that's right, he started from the bottom of the club and worked his way up to became our most successful manager of the 20th century and he gained tons of experience along the way!

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?

He doesn't have the Pro licence. If he enrols, that is enough. I have not heard that he has struggled to pass it and I suspect that is bull****. They take time to complete.

No idea on his alleged struggles. According to the Guardian:

"Sherwood has his level one, two and three coaching badges, plus the Uefa A and B licences but he must now obtain the Uefa Pro Licence, which is a prerequisite for Premier League managers. He must demonstrate a commitment to sign up for a Pro Licence course by Monday 10 March; the League's deadline is 12 weeks after a manager is promoted to the role."

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

ENIC will hold on until they can make the maximum return on their investment. They won't give a **** about the public unless the public withhold their money. And to be fair the public are wrong 99% of the time.

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

how?

If you hadn't noticed this past week the media has not been all too kind to Mr Levy.. it will get nasty should this fail. Only so many managers can be hired before you start to looking at who is hiring them.

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

Mate, honestly, Hoddle is a better decision than Sherwood.

You do realize this guy has never managed a club right? not even championship level, if he succeeds, I'll honestly question if managers have any impact at all.

This, said it before (as have others) is a ****ing punt, completely unprofessional and would have caused a **** storm if we were still a PLC.

As opposed to Hoddle who was clueless as Man Utd spanked 5 goals against us in 45 minutes. And since Hoddle desevedly got the sack what has he done since in management?

I for one am perfectly behind Sherwood

Read my other response, I don't want Hoddle, but he's infinitely more qualified than Sherwood.

Levy is risking his stature within the club with this appointment.

Re the earlier poster about Bill Nic, different time, no media issues, no player egos, no CL demands

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

A question for the doubters. Would your opinion on Sherwood change if Baldini had agreed with appointing him?

Maybe so, but you had Bill Nic who rose through the ranks who understood what the club is all about. Tim Sherwood is in a similar position. He's been promoted within the club because the board can see his qualities.

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?

I actually don't think any are better, neither do I think they're reasons not to employ him.

In fact I'd say that any of them being a positive is as silly as any of them being a negative.

I'd imagine they have quite a few suitors waiting in the wings willing to buy the club right now. If this goes tits up and the media turns on Levy even more so, then before the fans get involved the ownership may change before the value goes down.

Looking at the AVB sacking I was quite shocked at the number of posters postng displeasure at Levy. I had always imagined his undying support was high in the 90% but not any more, its waining by each decision he makes.

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

I dont care for universal joy for this appointment....and I dont think tim will care one jot either....

Time for tim to put his money where his mouth is.........lets all enjoy the ride...

That was not point I was making, see my reply above.

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

Welcome Aboard Tim!

All the s*** stirrers can s*d off. You have an ambition to take Tottenham forward playing the the Spurs Way. That'll do very nicely for me thank you very much.

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

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,

Same here, I was just questioning those motives as reasoning.

If there's no better option, then let's just support who we're stuck with until there is.

It doesn't have to be a step up each time, merely maintaining our position is hard enough in itself. It looks like we've finally decided to trust the structure put in place. Coaches will come and go, what's important is to be shrewd in the transfer market and hire coaches that have the right footballing philosophies.

I think we'll be looking to promote more youngsters to the first team squad should work on the stadium begin. As bad as it sounds, we're doing what Arsenal have done, but without it being dependant on one guy (apart from Levy himself) .
