Sherwood is a Gooner.A DIRTY GOONER.

How is he working at our club in the first place?He lucked out when another self confessed Gooner gave him a job.

We have to employ REAL Tottenham men to look after the football side of the club.

Got no time for these arguments. Football players and managers for the most part do not wear club badges next to their hearts. Sherwood will only be concerned about doing well for Spurs just like Defoe, another 'gooner' did.

I hope you are right.

And as I was trying to point out: I haven't judged him on one game, but I have evaluated the game. And I don't think his tactics and his statements were indicative of something positive. Rather it seems like/and sounds like he wants to commit an outright revolution, which I don't think is what we need. But I could easily be wrong!

I could be wrong too. We can only go on gut instinct.

Sorry, but there is no case for Tim Sherwood to be manager. Please close thread. Thanks.

Tim Sherwood is a conference manager at best and he comes across worse than Redknapp. I hope Levy doesnt let him poison our club.

If you want to find who or what is poisoning our club, you ought to search lot closer than Tim Sherwood.

No one is poisoning our club. Stop being so melodramatic.

Some our fans don't exactly help matters.

In your opinion. Not saying he should be but I'm open minded and will remain so. You don't agree so we'll have to keep it open.

There are a lot of OTT posts on the forum. A lot of it is ironically because under Levy's tenure, our expectations have been raised.

Harry Redknapp thinks he's very impressive and would do a good job. Levy rates him highly too.

Who knows if he could do a good job.

He'll probably get till the end of the season so we'll find out.

Some fans still can't get their head around the financial disparity between us and Chelsea, City and Man Utd. Let alone Liverpool and Arsenal. As you say expectations.

I just want to know what's going on with the stadium. Well, we all do.

Harry bigging up his mate proves nothing. Levy rates him as a youth coordinator. No one knows his credentials as a first team manager as he has zero experience. That is the concern.

I also get the impression he doesn't rate many of our summer signings after hearing his press conference yesterday. The fact he said Townsend is first 11 player and whoever he picks to replace him for Southampton need to prove they can displace him is worrying.

I would guess that DL will be so frustrated with on field cockups over the past 2 month as it keep putting back or distracting him from the likes of the stadium project. Baldini and AVB really for me made a horlicks of the last two months with no leftback and centerhalf cover. Cost us dearly and it's so basic.

Quick question for you, did you actually think we were playing good football in that match? I hope not. That was the most out of control football I have seen in a while. Horrendous touches and just heavy cross after heavy cross from Lennon and Townsend. Zero creativity. 50 offsides(thanks Jermain!) and I dont even wanna know how many turnovers(again, thanks Jermain!) That was the worst football I've seen all season, in all honesty. I did not enjoy that one bit aside for 10 minutes.

So it was 1st Spurs game you've seen this season?

If he thinks we played better against Liverpool or in the league game against West Ham as just 2 examples it's hard to know what to say.

Levi holds the purse strings not those two.

A few things I've thought about over the past few days:

3) I think Tim got it right against West Ham. Imagine he'd played Soldado, Erisken (who is just back from injury) or Lamela, and what happened to Townsend happened to one of those guys, against a very physical West Ham team. He'd never live it down. Right now we are at a crucial juncture in our club's recent history. Tim isn't an idiot - he knows which players we couldn't afford to risk on Wednesday night, and I think his team against Southampton will show some people up. If I'm wrong and Defoe starts then I'll eat some massive humble pie.

Why did Sherwood risk Danny Rose, then? He, like Eriksen, is back from a long-term injury and is in a position where we are dangerously thin. Why did he risk Kyle Walker, too, when we only have Naughton deputizing for him, also? If he was truly saving his best players for Sunday, he could've started Fryers and Naughton, instead of risking the two players whose back-ups are significantly worse than our first choice options.

As I've said before, I'm not remotely convinced that Sherwood was saving Soldado, Eriksen, or Lamela for Southampton, as I believe all three will not start (I expect Lennon, Chadli, and one of Defoe/Adebayor). If I'm wrong on that, I'll come back in here and apologize.

Lamela had a thigh strain.

We had problems with Kaboul in the summer, I'm sure at some point the playing staff managers (Baldin & AVB) has to grow some and manage the squad. Letting Benny go on loan and the selling Caulker, with Kaboul's with an going problems is for me inexcusable. The likes of Baldini and AVB are in charge of all things 'team' and wheedling money out of Levy is one of these guys jobs, its the same with any management structure in any business - you make a case.

And boy it has cost us.

It was his first day!

We will see but - trying to double guess will give us all headaches.

LOL no one can wheed out money from Levy, you can blame AVB for letting BAE go on loan. Caulker? People here have been trashing that dude left right and center before his move to cardiff. Nothing to do with Baldini at all.
