Tim Sherwood

Anyone else got any thoughts?

I really wanted to just leave "spurs are shite" and nothing else, however...

I think Spurs need stability more than anything, they have a half decent squad. A manager with a philosophy and time to develop would see them well, the owners are impatient even though Tottenham aren't a team who an afford to be impatient. Spurs were on par with Arsenal last few seasons and even above Liverpool, those 2 teams had stable manager who were building a squad not to mention they are huge teams Tottenham have worked hard to be competing with, to be sacking manager after manager while doing this is terrible work. They'll start declining if the next manager isn't a wise choice.

But it all comes down to one thing though, Spurs are shite.

I was thinking he' been doing alright really, especially considering it's his first managerial job. Can't honestly say I've seen much of Tottenham matches though, but from what I've seen they've not been that bad. The real test is next season. Let him sign some players, give him that bit more experience and make the team a bit more his and then see how he does. He's not really had a chance and is still working some things out.

I like that a young (managerial wise) English guy is being given the chance in the Premiership and hope he does well. We're not going to produce good local managers if no one is given the chance.

Was thinking it was really disrespectful of people to already be saying that the'd like to be their next manager. Would be alright if his contract ran out at the end of this season, but he signed an 18 month contract so he's there until the end of next season unless he's sacked. So well out of order for people like Hiddink to already be saying that he'd like to be Tottenham manager after the World Cup.

Hilds, you never know about Sandro. He could be left out because he's been training shit. Newcastle fans were banging on a bit for a while where Marveaux has been and why he's not been playing. Apart from not being that good like some people seem to think, turned out that he wasn't training as hard as Pardew liked and so wasn't starting or even making the bench. Ben Arfa doesn't make the first team much because he's inconsistent and doesn't seem to want to do what Pardew is asking. Sandro situation could like something like this... as fans we rarely find out though and just get frustrated when good players get left out for seemingly no reason. Always a reason though. Although it Bentaleb isn't doing well then you'd think someone else would replace Sandro.

Spurs' transfer policy is basically the same as mine on Football Manager. Buy as many players as possible who I think look good. But I dump a lot of the weaker ones after a month or so and stick with my favourites. Spurs haven't done that and are still trying to rotate a 25 man squad. Now Sherwood has got his own favourites from the youth team he wants to play, they lack the cohesion of a tight-knit team.

I think Chiriches & Capoue were good buys, Capoue would have turned into a quality player if he didn't keep getting injured and Sherwood stuck with a defensive midfielder to support the defence. Bentaleb is too young, too weak & too inexperienced for the role. Sherwood will still pick him for the next game though.

I think it's disgusting how Sherwood is being treated at the moment. More than a year on his contract and there's been speculation for months that someone will be replacing him at the end of the season. I've not seen one report from Tottenham where they've rejected those claims and backed him.

And now today, Ajax coach Frank de Boer has confirmed Tottenham have approached him about becoming their manager for next season.

If they don't want Sherwood there, sack him. Simple as. Shouldn't be talking to other managers before they've even gotten rid of their current one, especially with all the speculation that's been going on.

Fuck him I say. He has just embarrassed himself and spurs and isn't up for the job, he was always gonna be interim and I'm sure he knew he wouldn't stay beyond this season. His behaviour has been worse than how Spurs have treated him/

Sherwood needs to go, and quick. He's continually bad mouthing the club, the players, his staff. The guy needs to keep it shut and do his job.

He also keeps talking about his win percentage, but strangely keeps quiet about his loss percentage (which is around 50%).

FDB looks like he could be decent, and is the guy I want to take over.

I do agree that we should sack Dim before talking to anyone else tho, but only because I desperately want him out!

People complain about managers saying the same thing after every match and being boring. Tim Sherwood shows you why they never really say their full thoughts because it's usually better to keep quiet. No matter how crap your players are or how much you disagree with the board or whatever you keep all the stuff in house. It's like he's against Spurs rather than for them.

He is an Arse fan, im amazed more of my Arse mates aren't calling him agent Tim...

Interestingly, Sherwoods win ratio at Tottenham can not be bettered by any other Tottenham manager during the Premiership era.

Don't know where you heard that but it isn't true. Sherwood has won 50% of his games whereas AVB won 55% when he was in charge.  Redknapp was also pretty close with a 49.49% win percentage when he was there for nearly 200 games.

Was from one of the Sky Sports commentators. Sherwood said that his win record is second to none, and the commentator agreed reckoning that Sherwood has a 59% win rate which put him ahead of AVB, Redknapp and the rest.

That sounds like his Premier League record. If you include all other cup competitions, he only has a 25% win rate and that drops his overall win total down to 50%

His league win ratio is good, and better than avb.  However, he didn't play a full season, so I don't think it's valid. Avb had a win ratio of 55% over 18 months,  and Harry had 50% over 3 years.

Also, Sherwood didn't win 1 game I didn't expect my club to win, and he lost almost as much as he won (I think he had 14 wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats). We lost a lot of games we should have got something out of (West ham for example). Tactically he didn't have a clue, he didn't know how to manage and motivate players (don't talk to me about Ade), he didn't know how to break down teams and didn't know how to shut up shop.

I'll celebrate when he gets sacked.

His interviews are so cringey like that comment of "he wont get the job because he's English" comment on MOTD. We always want managers to be more real sometimes but Sherwood shows the difference between real and unprofessional.

Well... he's just been sacked after just 5 months in charge.

Has this season had the most sackings of managers in one PL season? Seems like it.

Got to be one of them. With Mel leaving West Brom and reports coming out that Allardyce could be sacked later this month... thing's are getting more tough to be managing Premiership teams.

12 changes all season. Ridiculous.

So pleased he's gone. Levy now needs to do something he isn't good at doing, and that's appoint a manager he can work with and allow him to do his job! I'm hoping for Frank de Boer.
