MKSC Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Been some Sherwood loving on the bet today it would seem. Definitely. We're down to 7-4 on him now. Hopefully nothing more than some geezer convincing a load of blokes in the pub that he's ITK and they've all piled in. De Boer had been 33's for days and was cut to around 10-1 off the back of that story in the mirror. Manager markets are always punter led, the bookies have the same level of knowledge as the hacks on this stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of money punted on this market won't be that big either so it wouldn't take much money to be put on Sherwood for his odds to come down.

Ronaldo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I wouldn't be disappointed with Sherwood. I don't think he'd be the best fit for this squad but he's got a wonderfully simple 90s style of playing attacking football with genuine width.

When you consider our only Orthodox wide players Obertan, Aarons & Sammy I'm not sure a 4-4-2 would work particularly well in the traditional sense. That being said, I'd have him over trash like Carver & Hoddle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 At the end of the day Sherwood isn't the best option, but he's a lot better than Pardew. There's also no way he'd last very long. He's just got too big of a mouth on him and would fall out with Ashley quite quickly. For that reason I also can't see him being offered or taking the job. He'll want assurance and some measure of control. He won't accept being lied to and just keep quiet. There's no way he'd be a good fit to work under Ashley.

timeEd32 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 If it's genuinely up to Carr and Charnley I have a hard time believing Sherwood (and certainly the inferior British managers) is a legitimate candidate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sherwood is a nobhead but for all the right reasons, hates the modern footballer mentality. Sadly, that will hold him back in a managerial sense. As mentioned above, I can't see him being a puppet for Ashley either. I think he will become a good manager someday though, once he learns to play the game with big egos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gino14 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Surely everyone would take him above Carver, but probably not above the other good European candidates who appear to be more talented and suited to our structure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the article that made us all realize how terrible a statistic the odious "win percentage" is? Check Pardew's and you'll drop it like a piece of turd.

Ronaldo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Spurs' win percentage under him was decent, don't like him as a person though. Bit better than decent, like. I think he was 3rd or 4th in the form table from his first game to last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss the article that made us all realize how terrible a statistic the odious "win percentage" is? Check Pardew's and you'll drop it like a piece of turd. Pardew's is 42% despite spending several seasons in lower league football. Sherwood's is 59% exclusively in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 If Sherwood has a 42% win ratio after 10-15 years in the top 2 leagues he's done well for himself tbh. Don't believe in win ratios. Roeder's win ratio looks good here I'd imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Whilst also being near par with Pardew in the misplaced arrogance stakes, I suspect Sherwood would be found wanting here massively due to the players we have. He did do well with Spurs though it's probably a sign that they didn't seem that arsed when he was removed for MP. I also don't see him as much of a head coach since he didn't bother doing his badges until forced do despite being in football for an age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
