Tiresias Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 "win more than we'll lose" FFS not good enough to get in top four, you need more than a 2:1 win lose ratio, you need consistency. One victory where they shipped 2 goals is not a good example of anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One victory where they shipped 2 goals is not a good example of anything The elephant in the room is that he's got Adebayor playing and scoring. Let's see if he's still doing that in two months time. He turns his form on and off like a tap when it suits him, in terms of consistency he makes Viduka look like Frank Lampard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 With an 18-month contract Sherwood's still just a glorified interim. If it were any other season, I'd say it's a sensible enough decision because the Bale sale represented a massive shake-up at the club, with all that money coming in; they do right in searching for exactly the right man to take them forward. But like I say - if it were any other season. The league is so open this year - anyone in the top 8 could finish anywhere - that they should have gone all out to get a world class manager in straight away, or even hang onto AVB.

KaKa Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 AVB clearly had p*ssed in the chips. It's mid season no one of any real standing (with PL experience) is available, also consider the risk of a foreign manager coming in now to a new league and with a squad that is still bedding in. Levy likes Sherwood (allegedly) so gave him the gig, he probably won't do too much harm and he might actually provide some entertainment after the stilted football AVB was overseeing. If it doesn't work out then Sherwood gets binned at the end of the season on a cheap payoff. I can see the sense given the circumstances. Levy gets some stuff right at Spurs (commercially mostly and getting value in the transfer market) but sweet Jesus he's made some absolute f*ck ups when it comes to the way he hires and fires managers..... The Spurs gig is a huge one. I don't care what the circumstances are, you don't hand it to some cocky youth manager that's done fuck all. Makes the club look a bloody joke.

I think Levy made a mistake appointing AVB, apparently he was impressed because AVB pitched up for the interview and did a Powerpoint prsentation. There's a technique to managing a squad thats in transition, you have to keep all the players (including those who are ageing and on their way out) on your side. AVB failed at this badly at Chelsea and if rumours are to be believed he's lost some of the squad at Spurs (as well as the owners). Levy found himself in the stupid position where there was little or no choice but to appoint someone like Sherwood, as there's no one else around and available worth appointing at the moment. I can't believe Sherwood is earning much so if he gets paid off its not going to amount to much. Imo AVB always over analysed and over thought - maybe the squad will respond to a less intellectual approach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I cannot believe the cheek of Sherwood like This is it for me, he tells a club that have been top 5 for the last 4 seasons that they can fuck off if they think he'll take the job on an interim basis, he's got nothing to prove and will happily go back to his job as youth team manager, and they fucking go for it after 2 games, which weren't even both wins.

Varadi Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I quite like that they've appointed Sherwood, if only because he seems like a massive bell-end so I can get back to despising them properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 @danielstorey85 British PL managers appointed with no experience are Sbragia, Kean, Gorman, Wilkins, Southgate, Reed, Clarke & McClaren. Not a stellar list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
