If I had to I would prefer Sherwood. Moyes is probably one of the most uninspiring managers Ive ever seen. He has no character, no determination in anything he says and just looks like a lost boy in a shopping centre when things are going wrong.

I dont want either to be honest, if we did end up appointing Moyes I would be absolutely gutted and wouldnt blame the likes of Lloris, Verts, Eriksen etc in wanting to leave the club as we wouldnt go anywhere with Moyes in charge, other than back towards mid table.

Moyes. One difficult period under a weight of enormous expectation does not make him a bad manager.
It doesn't, but some of these points are worrying: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...vid-Moyes-should-leave-Manchester-United.html

Him with newbie Ed Woodward, ditching Utd's coaches and appointing Everton's backroom staff has been a recipe for disaster. Bad decisions all round.

A massive coincidence:
6 Moyes has done marginally worse with the reigning champions than he managed with Everton last season:

Dour, uninspiring football or haphazard chaotic football. Can't we just have a real Spurs manager instead, please?

We'd be better off taking a leap and reappointing Hoddle, not that that is a good idea either!

Was gonna add a goat but couldn't bring myself to do it as it'd be the certain winner.

Spose could have had pleat or man in a raincoat.

FWIW I voted Sherwood. I'm not a fan at all but at least he tries to play Spurs brand of football even if his team selections are sometimes baffling at best.

One is a proven premiership manager over the last decade. The other is a complete barm-pot with fuck all experience in anything to back up his frankly bewildering arrogance.

Moyes.

In light of what Martinez has achieved in one season, really? Martinez's Everton has beaten Moyes' Man Utd twice this season.

Moyes got them to a level and kept them there, is that achievement? He didn't have the imagination (or contacts, perhaps) to acquire loan players to maximise their limited resources, but did spend fortunes on players like Yakubu, Beattie and Johnson who subsequently underperformed. They also spent big on Fellaini, recouping that outlay when Moyes returned for him - but he, too, has underperformed.

He also spent an age scouting and re-scouting players. Some they got, like Lescott and Cahill, and others they missed out on.

Moyes may have done a decent job with Everton but in hindsight he could have done a bit better.

Moyes would do well at Newcastle or West Ham where 7th-10th is a decent finish. For us, if Spurs really do intend on getting to 4th, he isn't the one. And neither is Sherwood.
I didn't say i wanted him. I just said he had done good at Everton.

And how do you know that Martinez success this season is not a result of what Moyes had put in place over the past 8 years + the luck of having had Lukaku leant to them?

The difference in style between them last year and them this year is ridiculously obvious.

It's not 'luck' that they got a player on loan. They would have asked, presented the case why and how the player and parent club would benefit, and the manager then convinces the player. They didn't get pulled out of a hat and off he goes.

Everton players have even said there is a clear difference.

'But Martinez is more tactical. We do a lot more tactical work which is good for me because I’m young and still learning. Roberto Martinez has come in and given everyone confidence. He’s a positive man and doesn’t say anything negative.'

For what it's worth, Martinez's coaches are the ones who deliver the bad news and rattle players in need of it. Keeps the bad blood away from the manager's door.

Absolutely neither!!! there is a terrible feeling of impending doom that Levy will go for Moyes though, with no fee and a quick fix its perfect for him. If he comes then get ready for more sterile turgid football.

Moyes would destroy the development structure at Tottenham I feel, he doesn't have a good track record promoting youth.

Sherwood all day long, his hungry, improving on the job, knows the club. Us fans have to be realistic be more patient with Sherwood and give him time to mature.

Moyes has been fucked over by some players this year and you could see they weren't interested in playing for him. I think he can be partly blamed for that as he shouldn't of got rid of Manu's staff, keeping them would have made the transition more stable and I think the players would have responded. Like people say, one bad season doesn't make him a bad manager and of course I'd take him over Sherwood.

Saying that, I really don't want Moyes as I don't like his style of football.

Well Moyes. But does Sherwood deserve to be sacked? I think he is out of depth but based on results, no he doesn't and he also can introduce our academy players into the set up. Look we don't have money to throw around like other clubs, we need to do something a bit different and look for a long term pay off rather than a short term pay off.

As only one of them is actually a manager, then it would have to be moyes, anything has to be better than billy big bollocks.

But it's not the most inspiring thought is it...

You're right....it was years of turgid football that made him a bad manager.

Either way I don't think the worry is about Moyes being available but more the fact that United are now in the market for a top manager which will likely affect our own attempts to get a great manager in. Lets face it, nobody is going to choose Spurs over United so lets hope they make their appointment very quickly because any prospective managers will sit back and wait until that post is filled.
