TIM SHERWOOD APPOINTED HEAD COACH

[JollyHappy]

At least he has press support so we won't get all that negative stuff for a while

 

[only1waddle]

It's nice having a big name coach to attract future star signings........ *tumbleweed*

I'm glad AvB didn't have the pulling power to attract the likes of Clint Dempsey..........

*shudder

 

[riggi]

Superpav out.

I hear you but I just can't see what the better option was right here and now.
We simply do not have the time mess about and have a chance of salvaging our season with a degree of continuity. Plus nobody decent is available right now.
I think Levy knows this and has found a middle ground, appeased Sherwood with 18 months but with a speed-dial ready for De Boer and Van Gaal in the summer, in case.

[I appreciate the mods appear not to like Sherwood so if that's a facet then fair enough]

Haha. I'm not sure what the other mods have been saying but maybe we are too sensible for own own good

 

[Franchise60]

Can't wait to get tactically fucked against a fellow top 7 side...

ya, imagine if we start losing 5-0 at home!

 

[parklane1]

Very dissapointed with this i must admit, however he is our new leader and we have to get behind him. I only hope that the fans give him more support then some did when AVB got the job.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

I have a theory regarding the 2014/2015 business.

Chelsea were heavily criticised for announcing Benitez as "interim manager", with people saying that players didn't care as there would be a new manager next season etc.

I think Sherwood is still being given the remainder of the season to prove himself. If he doesn't do well, I am sure he will still be gone and a new man will come in. It is just trying to create an illusion that we have some stability and are not a managerless club.

Would have to agree, if Players don't think he is in for the long run then they probably won't take him or the task at hand very seriously. Knowing a manager is a short term option or is going to be out of a job in the near future is toxic.

But, I have very little expectations now for this season.

 

[riggi]

Tims been with the club years? Good, he knows all about under achieving and clusterfucking ourselves.

Im just pouring petrol on the fire, im not gunna lie.

 

[Scarlet57]

Played 2, Lost 1, won 1 = 50% win ratio. The highest win rate of any Spurs manager since 1882.

How could Levy not give him the job permanently?

We have 5 managers with a 50%+ win ratio.

Frank Brettell 58.73
Arthur Turner 55.10
André Villas-Boas 55.00
John Cameron 51.93
David Pleat (1) 50.42

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Win win for Spurs. Does well he stays. Does rubbish he goes in the summer and we go Dutch. No other options.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Your blind faith in AVB and big tantrum following his sacking makes me feel that you are not the best judge of managerial credentials.

If you think Sherwood is an upgrade on AVB I feel bad for you.

 

[THOWIG]

I'm not overwhelmed with his appointment, but he could surprise many.

I'm not sure who people thought we could appoint instead at this time.

 

[newbie]

Re guarding not being able to attract players. If he does well next two seasons we will have pulling power it's not like we need to sign any players short term, (prob best if we don't sign anyone) we have talented youth coming out of everywhere we just need a manager to play them. A massive squad we only need a center back to cover for kaboul.

 

[GazzasMateBazza]

Our new coaching set up is Freund, Ferdinand and Sherwood or FFS. Haha

 

[peteblue]

Can't be any worse than AVB, lost by 6 at city and 5-0 at home to the scousers

 

[THFCSPURS19]

It's all Jenas's fault

 

[ibbz]

The players can settle now in this period, properly. And we will do well, trusssssst in meeeee

 

[Blackrat1299]

I understand he hasn't got all his badges, and as from appointment he has a certain time to get them.

Anybody know how long that is.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Very dissapointed with this i must admit, however he is our new leader and we have to get behind him. I only hope that the fans give him more support then some did when AVB got the job.

I predict he will get no slack cut at all, I haven't spoken to a single fan who wanted him to get the job beyond the 'everything is beautiful' brigade on here.
First dodgy result and it will begin

 

[CowInAComa]

In his first premiership game he won away to a time half side, got Adebayor firing, introduced a youth team player to great effect and we scored 3 for the first time this season.

Its not the worst start is it.

Hope he has a 'plan B' for Utd/Arsenal games coming up though..

 

[only1waddle]

Interesting wording from Levy.

"We have a great squad and we owe them a Head Coach who will bring out the best in them and allow them to flourish and enjoy a strong, exciting finish to the season.
