I know it's early days, and I really am trying not to over-react. However, do you guys think that Sherwood could be the next Brian Clough? There are a lot of similarities between the two. When I say "a lot of similarities" what I really mean is that they have one similarity, which is that they were both quite balshy and opinionated. Perhaps that's what we've been missing? As I said, it's very much early days, but I, for one, would not mind our own "Brian Clough" in charge of the club. What do you guys think? As always, I would please ask that wums steer well clear of this thread. Thank you.
No. Hopefully he won't be the next Nigel Clough, though. Temporary appointment, then off to Swindon, I think.
"I may not be the best manager in football, but I am in a class of one." (Tim Sherwood, December 2013)
Someone already on the Xmas sherry. I could have allowed Chris Ramsey as a Peter Taylor type etc, but not this one.
"I never said I did or did not want the job. I need to speak to the chairman about how they want to take the club forward. That'll happen sooner rather than later I hope, as these guys need a manager. Will I be in charge on Boxing Day? I don't know. "I don't want it for 10 minutes, I want it for long-term or not at all. "I really enjoyed it today but one swallow does not make a summer. I like to set teams up like that. There are no rules, there are different ways to win a football match. "You have to do what you believe." (Tim Sherwood post-match interview with the BBC, Saints v Spurs, December 2013) That's exactly the kind of ultimatum that Cloughie would have given to the manager. In other words (if I might paraphrase what Sherwoodie is saying, here), "either you appoint me as the permanent manager or you can **** off!"
Maybe. It's hard to tell. You lot thought you were League contenders too which was also quite baffling.
On past evidence, couldn't possible think why HIAG? Hey at least we're all in good spirits today. This past week has been pretty crap by all accounts. It won't be unfortunately as it doesn't end in 1
