AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What's to like though? He's a bloke whose arrogance far outweighs anything he's actually done, and who the media seem to plug for no apparent reason at all. Until he does something there's no reason at all to rate him as far as I can see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah but give the guy a chance, at least. That Canadian lad on here was calling him a crap manager the other week, in spite of the fact he's been a manager for less than a year in total and done a good job in that time.

Hughesy Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I always hated Sherwood as a player. Not sure why, but it's spilled into me not liking as a manager. Seemed to do a good job at Spurs despite most Spurs fans I know thinking he wasn't very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves his chance though, the fact he's arrogant means fuck all in that regard, just that if he falls he'll fall harder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 His unpopularity on here is pretty embarrassing, mind. The bloke calls a spade a spade, likes to see himself as one of the fans and cultivate a strong channel of communication in that respect, and plays very attacking football. What's really to dislike? Pretty much every manager/league winning captain has a gargantuan ego, it's just generally offset by a veneer of humility. A few months ago he was claiming the Spurs fans hate Harry Kane because he's English and he got dogs abuse for playing him because he wasn't Spanish like Soldado. He talks bollocks, man.

Mistle17 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Sherwood is an egotistical blagger who talks in cliches. Quite frankly it's embarrassing how much the media (SSN and BBC especially) want him to succeed and build him up- he couldn't shake off the 4-4-2 bug at Spurs, failing to accommodate the likes of Eriksen, Bentaleb, and Lamela. Look at that team now and those individuals now, totally different. He'll get found out. He's a spoofer, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd likely be in the reserves or out on loan if it wasn't for him. I thought Lamela was it on loan last season but not sure and Eriksen was the main man in Sherwood's side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he might be able to motivate players to a certain extent and do alright based on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Careful, or else Ron will huff and puff and blow your house down. If you had owt about you as a poster you'd have done that for me. Just a criminally bad effort by Mistle. Spurs would've finished 3rd with their form under Sherwoord stretched over a full season. They're currently 6th. Vast improvement indeed.

They would have finished 7th and not 6th. Obviously it's just an average, but to state that he'd finish 3rd (>82 points), is rather far fetched.

brummie Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Sherwood is a bit of a bell end. He did a "checking pulse" thing to the Holte End after the league match against Ollbeeyun last week which was cringey along the same lines as that salute thing. I thought it was a fucking stupid appointment. Having said that, though, we've just been Ollbeeyun twice in five days, played some more than decent (by our recent standards) football in doing so, and secured at least one Wembley trip, to a semi final. Given that, it seems churlish to moan. He's also managed to get a decent performance out of Charles N'Zogbia and Tom Cleverley, which is something I never thought I'd see. He can open his big gob as much as he likes so long as he carries on making it actually pleasurable to watch us play. Before the second Albion game, I was poking around having a look at a few of our forums, and someone posted something along the lines of "I can't get over the fact that I'm actually looking forward to the match". Which basically said it all about what it had become. See also that pitch invasion. I would have preferred it not to have happened, it is a bit smalltime. But then again, this is a club which has had its two worst home seasons in 140 years last season and the season before. A club that had just put together a run of seven consecutive league defeats. A club which had managed a run of over 11 hours without scoring a single goal. A club whose fans have basically had big steaming buckets of liquefied horse shit syringed directly into their eyeballs at home matches for four years. Given all that, I don't blame anyone for running on, and I can see why people would like Sherwood. It is very, very early days, but it feels like I imagine VE Day felt. Thank fuck that is over.

It was actually 1.91 points per game according to this article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31470606. Over a full season that's 73 points. Generally good enough for 4th, and often 3rd. Of course, it's all conjecture to suggest who those points would've come form and subsequently how league positioning would've been affected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if you're extrapolating something over a period of time to come to a theoretical league points total, you have to only look at league matches rather than throw in league cup or europa league games. In league games he picked up 42 points in 22 games, which is 1.9 points per game, which over 38 games equals 72 points. That's pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 NB I rounded down 1.909 to 1.9 but it should actually be 1.91 I guess, which fits with Ronaldo's figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 You've scored 5 goals in 4 games under him, and played very good watchable stuff in the process. I'd call that a minor miracle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
