I'm pleased he's doing well there, I said when he got it the job was good for him, decent enough academy, loads of young English lads.

Like it or not Tim served us well, as a player and a coach under difficult circumstances. In the years before he took over as InterTim all the noises coming out of the Club were about how highly thought of he was.

If he keeps Benteke next season he'd have done very well and will deserve credit for that. If he goes then it will be very interesting to see how he reinvests the money, a side to him we haven't seen yet is how he'll do in a transfer market.

How funny would it be if, he sells Benteke in the summer for an absolute fortune and then brings in Adebayor on loan and we have to pay most of his wages for a fucking year.
Its so crazy that it just might actually happen.

Pity Levy had not signed 2 dopey players in Soldado and you know who. Tim told him they were not good enough. Levy did not want to hear that.
The £56 million quid investment needed looking after by an Argentinian Spanish speaking manager. That was more valuable to him than the possible rewards from a great footballing season.
Didn't work out.

Tim and Les also told him Suarez was too much like VDV to bother with.

"They came to watch him. I met Sherwood together with Les Ferdinand, they were Harry Redknapp's assistants at the time and were also his scouts. They asked me all kinds of questions about Suarez, so I just point blank said: "You have to snap him up, without any hesitation, in a heartbeat," Gullit said."

"We kept looking at [Suárez] but people thought he couldn't play up as a striker," said Redknapp.

"They said he's like Rafa [van der Vaart] and you can't have him and Rafa or you'd have two players who want to drop deep, so that was the problem. We were looking for someone to play up front with Rafa. People said he couldn't do that, he drifts and comes deep. But he played up front on his own the other night [against Fulham on Monday] and he was fantastic."

Someones gonna pick him up in the summer, will cost next to nothing as well. Sherwood might be looking at Byrne as well, possibly even Kasim.
I also recall an article in which he tipped Ben Gladwin for future stardom.

But he is big mates with Lee Power and with so many of his proteges playing in a high profile game he was always going to be in attendance.

we've got first dibs on him for a silly amount £400k iirc, that would be so Levy, buy him, loan him out foe a Season then sell him for £4-5 mil

Don't think that high line with a left back at right back is working too well Timmy.

much like his work at spurs, he can be brilliant at equal or lesser sides, but falls to bits when faced with stronger opposition.

his tactics are good at exploiting the weaknesses of sides, but when they don't exist it goes against them big time, almost naively.

I hope he doesn't try and out tactic Wenger, else id be worried it'll ended up like a cricket score
