TBF he is a mini LVG and not like Cryuff(which is like most dutch managers)If we are going to replace Tim i dont see the point of more inexperience, we should get LVG.
I explained this many times, this season and last season both shown that the bottom 12/10 teams have been struggling and hence the top 8 picking up more points than usual. This doesn't mean better.
This season we will likely break that points total does that mean Sherwood is a great manager by beating out best points haul?
Yes, but look at the team he has, I would say that win percentage is very good, considering who he has played, and the players at this disposal. You make it sound like his record is terrible.The only sticking point for me is his European record.
Yes he has a fantastic record in the Eriedivisie - 66% win, where the competition is not really that great.
However, in Europe, where the competition is far greater his win percentage drops down to 33%
I am not saying that is is a bad manager, I am just cautious of judging a manager by his exploits in a far inferior league to the PL.

Agree, people have likely forgotten that de Boer got the job at Ajax after Jol was fired. He is pretty much the same as Sherwood, albeit + 3/4 years. If we had the opportunity to grab a proper top tier manager this summer, it would be foolish for us to skip over them for a de Boer.If we are going to replace Tim i dont see the point of more inexperience, we should get LVG.
Even Hoddle was touted as a candidate before Tim!I wonder how many other managers we were desperately calling before we settled on Tim?
He must feel so loved.
Really well heres a quick statistic view of itI don't buy your explanation at all. We'd have to look at each club and compare to gage exactly who is weaker and who is stronger. I think the league is generally harder than it's ever been this season.
If Sherwood beats that points haul from last season he will have done exceedingly well and will at least deserve the same kind of recognition that AVB deserved for doing the same last season.
I agree, and he really should consider himself lucky to have got such a big chance.
I just think it makes us look completely shambolic. We clearly sacked AVB without having anything in mind in terms of replacing him, which is pretty daft.
True. All the more damning for Jol who failed to win it even with Suarez leading the line.
Having lost just three games all season, with 85 points and a GD of +86. He couldn't do a whole lot about Twente losing only two.
Now there's a thought—Second Choice Steve McLaren!
I don't buy your explanation at all.
Because LVG has left a trail of chaos almost everywhere he has been. Yes he has achieved success, but the disharmony he will cause just isn't worth it IMO, especially since he would most likely be another short term appointment. In short, the man is an utter lunatic.
My only qualm is that teams tend to start off slow when new to a job because he wants the team to play 100% his way. Would we be patient enough to wait until say December before seeing the best of his teams
Definitely not.I have to disagree the in part.
Yes LVG is a loony but he has also left the foundations for fantastic teams to build upon when leaving.
He left barca after bringing in xavi , puyol and iniesta into the team. Guardiola has even said LVG has had the biggest influence on his management style and tactical awareness of any manager he's played under. At Bayern he gave debuts to Muller, Badstuber and is credited with relauncging Schweinsteiger as a defensive midfielder instead of a winger.
LVG is known for always looking to younger players rather than making signings and he was the chief proponent of promoting the Ajax youngsters that won him the champions league when every one called him a loon.
He would almost certainly leave a legacy of youth players well drilled and disciplined in the club style of play.
