I am no Sherwood fan but you have to feel for the guy here. This is yet another problem of our own making. We clearly only wanted a caretaker from the start and should have just told Tim sorry we need an experienced head long term so take it or leave it. Hoddle would have done it and even if the club didn't want to go back to him I am sure we could have found somebody competent to look after the shop till the end of the season. That way we could have gone about our business of getting a permanent manager in the proper manner without worrying about leaks which are almost inevitable in today's 24hr media world!
All points to the style of DL our chairman, who never comes out and says anything apart from a couple of grand statements twice a year. Brilliant business man that he is, he strikes me as the sort of guy who has many faces and you couldn't trust. A lot on here were celebrating the way we did the Fryers deal but that never sat well with me and I just thought it was classless and lacking in honour - a bit like the way the shambolic sacking of MJ and hiring of JR was handled. You would think he would have learned by now - leopards and spots i guess

Err Tim I think you will find that we had our best start, regarding points to a premier league season ever.
This is like the Jol/Ramos situation. It seems that Spurs are hiding behind whether it was official. I suspect we are being used to alert other clubs that FDB is considering leaving Ajax.
Err Grey Fox, I think you'll find we got the most penalties in the first half a dozen games we've ever had. Other wise 2 points from 8 games wouldn't have sounded so bad.
What is your point? It doesn't matter how we got the points, we got them. Sherwood has been crowing about his win ratio, but the play has been very disjointed. On the other hand, we have been winning.Err Grey Fox, I think you'll find we got the most penalties in the first half a dozen games we've ever had.

There's a big club in Spain that has a bloke called Messi.....I agree, however there is usually no smoke without fire and although he might be hoping for bigger opportunities, I reckon he has considered us, as did LvG before him...
I do feel for Tim, with the constant speculation of who will succeed him at the end of the season. Irrespective of what is said, he WAS given an 18 month contract, indicating that he was appointed the the permanent manager for that period and I do strongly believe people should not be talking publicly about wanting the job whilst it is still occupied.
However, I agree that Levy actually only wanted a temporary manager and initially appointed Tim on that basis. It was only as a result of his initial results that Tim decided to force the issue and has now potentially manoeuvred himself into a position where he could be unemployed next month or even as soon as later this month.
I would caution though that another high profile appointment might not be the solution. How often have we gone down this route and it has failed or more accurately, not been given time to succeed by the fans and then the board......as generally I feel the board do still react to any discontent that they sense on the terraces.
My point is that we were fucking terrible in the first half of the season.What is your point? It doesn't matter how we got the points, we got them. Sherwood has been crowing about his win ratio, but the play has been very disjointed. On the other hand, we have been winning.
So, you're judging AVB and TS by different standards. You don't get extra points for artistic expression, darling.My point is that we were fucking terrible in the first half of the season.
The only thing hiding it was points accrued in hugely fortuitous fashion through penalties.
