Tim Sherwood: I would have got Champions League place

[Lilbaz]

The way the bloke has been treated by his own set of supporters is disgusting. All he wanted to do was win games with us. But rumour and hearsay meant he never got a chance.
Good luck.

Every time I look at him I think there's been a terrible mistake: he is the father of Joffrey Baratheon, not Jaime Lannister. Then I remember this can't be true, because Tim's not an actor.
Based on his post-match comments, the guy is on the other hand a deluded prick!

@Steve_Cardboard Sherwood has talked himself out of a job as much as anything. Expect approach for Pochettino this week. Benitez wants it.

That's the story of his tenure - a man who may have had a shot if only he'd have stfu about being the only man worthy of being given a shot.

Big words will give him more exposure and some people will buy it and he might land a decent job later on.

I cannot recall him ever saying that he was "the only man worthy of being given a shot". But i truly believe that when anyone reads negativity about someone for a long enough period facts and fiction become intertwined.

I think this may be true of your post.

Nope, he said it, just didn't use those words.

Oh....so i guess that means he may have said 'of course i would like the job' and we'd both be right. But both would be bullshit......

@Sweetsman ... how was my comment "Spam"? I don't lose sleep over it but I do think people should be held accountable for negative ratings, otherwise it's cowardly.

Well done Tim. Great points return in your first season as manager. Would have been good to see what you could have achieved if you had a full season and chose your own transfers. If you do get fired, hope to see you do well at another club. It's a learning curve for a young manager and everyone makes mistakes. Hopefully he will learn from them. You never know, if successful we might see you back at the lane in the hot seat.

I for one didn't expect to see a good return from him.

 

[Kiedis]

Goodbye, Tim. Thanks for the points. Now go somewhere and grow up, and you may get another shot at managing.

I feel this season has been a real let down. Such high hopes at the beginning of the season were killed off by 5 months of defensive rubbish followed closely behind by 5 months of school team football.

It seems so long since we have had a manager I genuinely felt was going to improve our team (e.g. help the player be greater than the sum of the parts), similar to Rodgers has done at the bin dippers. Redknapp has some super players so I am not even sure we could count him as one. Venables was the last I can think of.

 

[MR_BEN]

Just a thought, is he saying this based on points per game ratio during his time in charge? If so then thats fair enough imo and Ive taken it out of context.
If not then its the dumbass comment I thought it was to start with lol.

The article says. .. based on his points per game, across a whole season - we wouldn't have qualified.

"The 3-0 final-day defeat of Aston Villa meant Sherwood finished the season with a win percentage of 59% - the best of any Spurs boss in Premier League history but lower than the top four finishers."

 

[Limehouse]

Tim is right except that the board of directors would have found some other way of f*&c%n^ it up .

Dan Levy might actually have learned his lesson and decided to persist with Tim .

Tim deserves it and I hope Danny doesnt blow it .

Fully agree with you. Sadly Levy seems to think that throwing gob loads of money at it is the solution. Sherwood has taken a ludicrous situation over and handled it like a manager should. Give him the job.

 

[doom]

did we not think that we had a squad capable of challenging for the title at the start of the season? well certainly the management have not got them playing well at all so a record points haul for the manager means shit all if the top 4 teams have a better points haul. Someone mentions the tedious possession football under AVB - Sherwood took that away from the team and we suddenly became a little less boring but had no shape or purpose. I think he has done well but certainly not a manager deserving to stay on at a club in the top half of the table.

 

[18Klinsmann]

Tim has done a good job in terms of getting points on the board. However, as Limehouse states a 59% win ratio would NOT have secured CL football. In fact we would have needed a whopping 80 points to leapfrog the Gooners as the table ended up, but to me it is not about his percentages. It is about a 45-year-old youth team manager without a PL coaching badge, who is so cocky and arrogant that his man-management and media skills suffer badly because of it.
If left in charge he will most likely run the likes of Soldado out of the club, by insisting on playing his homegrown youngsters. I love to see homegrown youngsters make the grade, but at this point the massive squad investments of last summer must be utilized and implemented wisely if we are to compete at the very top of the table any time soon. As much as I've appreciated to see Bentaleb and Kane make a promising impact it would have been nice to see Soldado given a chance to regain some much needed confidence yesterday when we were 3-0 up. If we end up selling our record signings for less than half of what we paid for them we have suffered a huge loss. Although the jury is still out on most of the summer signings they are our best chance of bouncing back to the top quickly. And Tim has not looked like the manager capable of making them gel, ever. It won't be easy either, but can be done I believe.

Spurs need Frank De Boer as our next manager. The man already has two of our players who have played for him. De Boer will help settle the player unrest quickly.

 

[Grey Fox]

What Tim and a few posters on here seem to forget is that after Tim managed to get us knocked out of the cups within a few weeks of taking over, we were playing once a week. Time on the training ground that AVB didn't have and rest for the players makes a huge difference, ask Liverpool and everton next season.

 

[JoeT]

Think the wheels would have come off by about late November/early December time. Then, had he stayed, we'd be bottom half and not top 4.

Unless he really thinks Bentaleb and Kane would fire us over the likes of Chelsea and assnal.

Why would "the wheels have come off by about late November/early December". Why so specific; do you have a crystal ball or something?
......No, you don't I suspect...just basing your so-called facts on a personal opinion about a person
