Club Statement - Tim Sherwood

[Geez]

“We appointed Tim mid-season as someone who knew both the players and the Club. “We agreed an 18-month contract with a break clause at the end of the season and we have now exercised that option.

Beautifully put, Levy. I'd put this up for a Pulitzer award. I too, wish Sherwood all the best. I'm sure AVB accepts the apology.

We wish him great success in his managerial career.

I think this is pretty clear code for 'Tim wouldn't accept going back to an assistant coaching role'.

Sherwood knows well that his brief tenure with us, however controversial it may have been, will get him a job as a manager somewhere else. He'd rather do that than take a step backwards and that's probably the best thing for his career.

Agreed. I think a first division club would be very good for him to continue his field study in management.

Reading the statement frank de boer fits the bill if he brings his team and brother Ronald. We would be replacing old Tim and new Tim and be trying to get the best from our Youth academy.

He is favourite for the Brighton job now apparently.

I agree. However, let's not forget that we was apparently a pretty wanted man even before this. Blackburn were very keen.

i see that we have the usual redknapp rhetoric spouting the usual manager speek namely that any man must be given time at least three years to be a success
even if it means the club is in meltdown(boy do these managers who hop from job to job and hold out their hand for a pay off get on my tits)
do they not realise that we as in the general fans have our own mind and brains and we are quite capable of realising that tim was a disaster without the likes of redknapp spouting on about give them time????
the best men dont need time ;they make an imediate compact as in pulis and pochetino
what i was not prepaired for was the sun to regurgitate the venables sugar
affair from more than twenty years ago
it just goes to show that these redtops would go to any lengths to write an article that shows spurs in a bad light rather than be cutting edge newsmen at the sharp end of sports news

'...we have been supportive of him during football management changes throughout that period.'

To show it's not a knee jerk reaction or that he this 'after just six months!!!' thing is not really the case.

Maybe Sherwood will take a role elsewhere for a while, but I can't see it lasting.
Sherwood was a premiership player - overpaid and pampered.

Managing tottenham is one thing - good salary, great facilities, the press printing any opinion, and an experienced back room staff that could run the club on their own.
Does he really want all the aggro and hard work at a smaller club?
Especially when he could walk into a cushy job at sky paying twice as much.

I think he'd be great on sky!

AVB is in a class of his own. The one where the pupils wear the pointy hats with a capital "D" on it.

Going over old ground again here but I am genuinely curious, can someone who was pro AVB tell me why please??
Dont want an arguement and I wont reply but I just dont get it.
To me, in his first season he took a team that finished 4th and played great exciting football, to a boring as hell team and finished 5th, despite having a world class player at his peak digging us out the shit.
In his 2nd season he spent 100m on players and it was even worse to watch so I'm really failing to see how anyone could be sorry to see him go.
I know we lost players as well but even so, that was no excuse for what he served up and I fail to see how anyone can think it looked like given time it would get better.
Please no replies about biggest points finish. Its relative and if the bottom 3 now need less points to go down then those extra points have to go somewhere.
Who knows I may even change my view lol

Just draw a line under the AVB saga. I suspect he may well end up as a pretty good manager somewhere else, but he wasn't a good fit for us.
