Comes across well in this interview. However, based on the tag line, I was hoping for something more about the manager/chairman relationship - typical media! :(

whilst I think tim will be replaced and I also think myself hes made ALOT of mistakes ...be it tatics,player selection or the talking about club stuff openly instead of behind doors.....

You can't just purely blame this on Tim ....that's for sure !!The rot had already started to set in before he replaced AVB ...and also there is several players that have been utter shite and and those that have not stood up when we needed them.
Got to say I'm not a great Tim fan but I do think for a man learning his trade on the go and which all the other stuff going on at spurs ....he done a decent job pts wise.
Whats hurt us the fans the most is the heavy loses we've had this season ...they've really stick in our heads and also the manner which we have played football.
We have got some decent players and a dam good squad ....when all fit and playing like we know they can,but for whatever reason it maybe ....they aren't at the moment.
We just new to get the new guy in ....one that fits how we want to play ....nice decent passing football,but with pace and flair.Then he needs to decided whos going and staying FAST and then get in the players he wants.
He needs a good full pre season with these players , so he can pick up their morale and get it drummed into them on how to play football the right way.

The chairman got a lot of things wrong this year, but the press make out like Levy is the only one that doesn't want him.

Just like AVB before, plenty of fans are calling for his head.

At some point, as a collective, we, as Tottenham Hotspur need to take some responsibility for the lack of continuity at the club and pull our collective shit together.

No no no.... I love the fantasy of the Fans Being The Football Team, but that is utter fantasy. A cute one, but a fantasy nonetheless. Whatever your personal opinion on the man, people were hardly calling for Redknapp's head when he was deposed.

In the post you've replied to, mentions AVB, the manager before TS, and that then plenty of fans were calling for his head. Redknapp wasn't mentioned once. Who said people were after Redknapp's head?

If Sherwood just shut up maybe people would take him seriously. I am sick of the rubbish that he continuously talks. Maybe he has a future in comedy once we sack him.

I firmly believe in reading articles like this it is clear that the club has already made a decision on his future/pursuing new managers and told him. I don't believe he is in the dark about his future. This could explain some of his media attitudes etc...

I'm sure many will disagree but I think he has actually done a reasonable job as an intermin manager and he has some blooded some youngsters successfully. I also feel he has been badly let down by an unprofessional playing group that doesn't care as much about the club as they should.

I felt sick watching Hugo's brilliance last night, knowing how frustrated and disgusted he must be with the lack of professionalism/effort displayed by his teammates. Hugo is one of the best GK's to grace the EPL.

Jesus Christ, I've just seem the highlights and it was like watching us back in the mid 90's. Appalling, if it wasn't for lloris we'd have conceded ten....
Lloris will be off, he can't play with that shit in front of him.

Losing Lloris would be a disaster he's our best keeper since Clemence. I'm sure he's not delighted by our team right now but equally it's not a given that he'll do Berbatov. The rumour in France is Monaco tried to tap him up and he rebuffed them. He's from Nice which is nearby and doubtless there would have been more money. Sooner or later we need to show all our top players that we have the ability to match their ambitions or we lose the likes of Hugo, Vertonghen and Eriksen. As an optimist I'm hoping FDB would be welcomed by the players and we can improve based on a decent squad (for all our problems we're top six). Today we just played a bad game got out worked and couldn't handle Carroll - we've been worse.

I was, cause he was a big mouth and a fuck-wit, just like Dim.

I've never known a season to be filled with so many heavy and humiliating defeats, especially to our main rivals. Who the fuck loses three times to a shite team like Spam?!!

It's like a living nightmare!

contradiction and lack of ability on tims part examples below
defensive midfielders are overated said tim
we needed sandro and a now fit capoue on from the start yesterday
erricsen should not play wide says tim ;a good observation in my eyes
tim then continues to play erricsen out wide/??????
another tim diamond" i do not let big names or reputations affect my team selection"
in that case why did you take off a 100% commited kane and keep ade who obviously did not fancy any rough stuff
other items that we can all see but tim either thinks we are all wrong and he knows best
fryers and not rose
anybody for lennon who has been poor for a while
back to the big names and reputations paulino is either playing to avoid injury to save himself for the world cup or he really is not suited to the hurly burly of the premiorship therefore bentelab or chadli should have played;rose should never play
a concensus of oppinion of people who sit by me came up with this team before the kick .lloris;naughton;dawson;kaboul;fryers;sandro capoue chadli erricsen kane sadado
i dont know if anybody on this site agrees but i believe a team better suited to play west ham (dembele and walker if fit would replace fryers and naughton)

This is why people think TS is a joke. But then other people talk about his points tally and that he had the highest points per manager. People say AVB finished 5th.. Not record points. So same should apply to TS. He finished lower and further away from 4th spot than AVB.

TS reminds me of Harry. Great man motivator in most meaningless matches when we play mid table teams, but we disappear against top 4 where we need to show fight.

Your seriously comparing 5 mths under TS to the guy who took us to the quarter final of CL?As I recall that wasnt against mid table teams.
How quickly we forget.
Id give my left nut to have Redknapp back tomorrow.
And ffs please dont reply about how well he's doing at qpr. Stick morinho and ancheloti in that job and see how they get on.
When I read some of the views fans have of Redknapp I think we dont deserve any success because a large group wouldnt recognise success if it jumped up and bit them on the arse.

Very few Spurs fans really get behind any Spurs manager .

As soon as the board start withdrawing support or undermining the manager a large proportion of "fans" move in to kick the manager whilst he is down .

The "fans" have become like the chairman unfortunately .
