I know a lot of fans here have a serious dislike for Sherwood, and expect him to be out the club by end of today, but am I the only one who thinks he could still be very good for the club, for a variety of reasons.
The reason for this all depends on what happens next. Some people think he will go back upstairs, which could be good as he has clearly aided in the development of our youth players, as we now have serious contenders for the first team coming through the development squad. If he can continue to bring through players like bentaleb, Kane, veljkovic, caulker, townsend etc then our youth academy can be called a massive success, and no matter your opinion on the guy sherwood deserves credit for this.
On the other hand, it is looking more and more likely he will seek a management job elsewhere, yet this can still be good for us. No matter where he goes, it is looking clear that his next job will be a step down, whether it be to lower PL team like west brom, or a championship team like Brighton. This will still be good for the club, as Sherwood will look to bring in quality that he knows, and he knows our youth setup like no other. This means we could be assured that if he came to spurs for loans for the likes of bentaleb etc we know they would get game time and the experience they need, unlike some disastrous loans we have seen, such as mason at lorient, and it would be at a decent level, unlike the Swindon lads this year.
