Sherwood has gone!

[Blockbuster]

Tim needs to get us winning if he wants a decent looking CV. at the moment he will be lucky to manage in the Prem again unless he brings a team up.

although I think he is a charlatan of the highest order who stabbed AVB in the back.

 

[TallBlokePH]

Really makes it difficult to keep rational about Sherwood when he comes out with stuff like this. If he keeps on with this sort of nonsense I'll not just want him gone at the end of the season, I'll want him burned at the stake in the centre circle.

Yes, I am having a grumpy morning!

bit more from ali z: No matter what happens he is gone in the summer, there are a few reasons why he has not been sacked yet, one being it achieves very little at this stage.

It really doesn't achieve much at this stage..I just hope that some of our players that may attract attention from 'better' clubs such as Lloris are given some reassurances over the direction of the club from the summer if we do actually have an impressive/recognised plan in place...

I agree. As much as I dislike what Tim has done since he has been in charge it would be pointless sacking him with only a few games remaining. It would make us even more amateurish than spending £100m in the summer and sacking the manager half way into the season.

I disagree. When the guy keeps slating his own team in the press, tells everyone he doesn't have a clue how to change things and is still left in charge that is when you really become a laughing stock.

Surely if we are likely to retain the services of Freund and Ramsay in the case of sacking Tim and Les, allowing them to oversee the first team for the remaining games can be a positive. Especially if they can talk about clean slates and who the next manager is likely to be behind closed doors.

 

[$hoguN]

I'd sooner win Monday tbh, but that will be a nice way of softening the blow if we do lose.

How the f**k did I get a dislike and WTF for this when I said I would sooner that we win on Monday, but Sherwood going would soften the blow of a loss?

Unless those people a) would prefer us to lose so he goes, which goes against the point of supporting a team, or b) want us to retain him if we lose, which begs greater questions about their mental health

So for some of you, it was a simple case of AVB out at all costs?

Can we not make this a debate about AVB. That chapter is closed, by all accounts he seems to have been rather unpopular behind the scenes which made his position somewhat untenable. He didn't argue about going he accepted it. Yes I wanted him to be given the season too but crying about it now is stupid, this thread is about Tim and what he is doing to the club.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

I woke i the middle of the night last night after having an awful nightmare in which Tim "the man with a plan" Sherwood was still in charge next season and we had sold Paulinho and Lamela and he had brought back Huddelstone and Jenas. He was also in the Daily Star advertising Pukka Pies with a Spurs shirt on !!!

Couldn't get back to sleep for the rest of the night, felt so real as well... it was horrible.

 

[danielneeds]

Sacking him, and then getting seen as a club who's had three managers in a season does nothing for us. Ride out the last 6 games, which are pretty kind looking, and then let's forget about this awful season.

 

[Ribble]

I'm sure plenty of people will disagree, but for me, there's really not much mileage in getting rid until the season is over. Onions I guess.

I think the only thing that would make Levy pull the trigger is if he thought Sherwood was doing serious damage to the club's image or irreparable damage happiness of the players.

He didn't sack Arry or AVB for that

 

[No Donkey]

If we lose on Monday, I'd be okay with Sherwood going and Freund taking the position until LVG came in the summer (if he's coming that is). Frankly, I'm embarrassed by all this shit and am barely taking any notice of the season now anyway.

I had such enormous hope when this season began, as we all did, despite the Bale/Madrid thing. Now though, in typical THFC style, it's all descended into an absolute clusterfuck and I frankly can't wait for it all to end. For this season I really couldn't give a flying fuck into a rolling doughnut anymore.

Agreed, season is over, whether we win or lose every game from now on is basically irrelevant, we know it, the players know it.

Yup.

 

[lami]

no way, i would like spurs to do their best for the rest of the season. We have 6 games left against teams we can beat. I would hope we could win all 6 and end the season on a high and then get LVG in after the world cup.

I agree that I'd like us to win the remaining games, the thing is if we won our next 6 then I think it would make it really difficult for Levy to get rid of Tim.

 

[Ribble]

I don't think either of them did as much damage in either department, partly because the both continued to get results and also partly as they both had reputations already. Sherwood coming in with nothing and doing a bad job reflects far more on Levy and THFC in comparison, and him doing poorly makes Levy look stupid for not exploring experienced options.

 

[talkshowhost86]

The issue now is with how much Sherwood is alienating the squad and therefore alienating them from the club as a whole, as well as any negative image he's projecting for potential future players, managers or investors.

I think anyone looking to join the club going forward will be easy to placate simply on the grounds that Sherwood won't be here come the end of May, but not sure the same can be said for our existing players.

He's come out and criticised them publically more than once, has clearly pissed off some of our summer signings (Capoue and Paulinho in particular) and doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping. I'm just concerned that if he continues prattling on about these players (and who knows what he's saying behind closed doors) then it'll force some of them out of the door even when Sherwood leaves.

As I've said before, I don't see any situation where he helps us in the next 6 games, but there's a very good chance that he could make things a whole lot worse.

This is what I am worried about, and why I said earlier in this thread or another, that I would rather go manager-less for the last 6 games than have him here.

I am so so frustrated at the moment in regards to all of this.

AVB isolated Ade, because Ade done wrong, Sherwood is just being a ****.

Personally mate I think its all being blown out of proportion.

He knows he's gone in six games time and so do the players. He's fast becoming a complete irrelevance and I don't think what he does or says will have any real bearing on a players decision to leave - the only thing being if he miraculously ended up staying, fingers crossed he doesn't.

Potential out goings are much more likely to base their decisions on superior offers from superior Clubs.

I hope you're right.

I suppose the real risk is if Sherwood is kept on in any other capacity, which I think is a real risk.

If we keep him on in his previous role, or even as 'director in charge of hobnobs' then I think a few of the players he's pissed off will want to walk.
