Every thread at the moment decends into a pro\anti Sherwood discussion.

I just want to gauge the overall feeling on this site for him. only two options


**IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE THE EXTREME LOVE\HATE, THEN LIKE\DISLIKE**

I dont want this to go the same way as all the other threads. we dont need indepth discussion on the merits of his tactics or his win lose ratio. just a simple. like\dislike love\hate)

I don't actually love him, but I do like him and I really want him to succeed.

I do love marmite though!

I'm ambivalent. Time will tell. I know fuck all about his character so results will do it for me

Pretty much exactly what I was about to type. Seems like a decent 'geeza' but it's still early days for me to love or hate re his management. The knife is in the marmite waiting to be spread....

I'm sorry but IMO this is only heading toward one conclusion.

If you're only going to offer two options, firstly only an idiot is going to 'love' him, he's done fuck all to deserve to be 'loved' and you'd have to be plankton to 'hate' him for the same reasons. So you're forcing a choice that won't really give a true reflection. There are those who don't think he deserves/should have the job or think he's gone in the summer anyway so are supporting him until then. How do they vote? Love him? Hate him?

Not to mention that this thread will almost certainly descend into the same tired debate that's currently raging all over the site. At which point it'll likely be closed or merged, because we've got enough of it already.

It's absolutely baffling to be honest. He's even more unpopular than Redknapp was.

I haven't seen enough of him to know if he's a **** or not, surprised some people have.

Some posters have a real problem with him though and it's something I've not seen before, maybe it was like this when George Graham took over but not sure if SC Archives go back that long.

Far to early for me. If I am honest I am a little concerned with the tactics so far but this may change when our injured stars are back. As a fully paid up BSoDL who has had to re evaluate his position, I am just going to take a watching brief. I suspect that Baldini and Sherwood are not at loggerheads as has been reported but I also don't think he is seen as long term (results may change this).

Hate him, but that is not to say I don't want him to do well, I do as I want Spurs to win.

But I am not going to bury my head in the sand and pretend everything is okay, when it is clearly not.

The advert regarding Marmite is love it or hate it. dont blame me. blame the advert.

Im not asking if they want to go on a date with him. I am not asking whether they want to behead him. I am not even asking foR dEbate. just a question of whether you like or dislike. because every thread is awash with conversation on it.

I want him to succeed because I want Spurs to win every game we play.

Just annoyed currently that he's not playing the team/players I think are the best. The other thing - he isn't doing himself any favours saying stuff like 'I don't know that player well enough etc' - because the more discerning fan (which a lot of people on this forum are) can see through that bullsh*t. Because if he's telling the truth then what the f*ck was he doing in his previous role. Did he not watch any of our games or take any interest in European football to know who were talented players from other leagues??? I would have thought that was the bare minimum for someone who was supposedly overseeing things on the football side in some capacity alongside Levy

Sounds like a reasonable idea.

I don't think it's as black and white as your suggesting.

I personally was fully prepared to give him a chance but he seems to be confirming all my worst preconceptions day after day.

Whatever happens though, I want him to succeed, because ultimately if he succeeds then so does the club.

If he keeps winning and takes us to top four then the naysayers will die off, myself included.

I think he is massivley polarising opinion. everyone wants Spurs to win every game. That is our nature (apart from a few who actually wanted us to lose towards the end of the AVB era) but the appointment of Tim is the most contraversial I can remember.

You're not asking for a debate on it, remember? :sneaky:
