He hasn't been able to keep his gob shut for 5 minutes recently. As I pointed out, it all smacks of desperation. I'd be interested to hear what this weeks excuses are. It might be nice if he, just for once, put his hands up and admitted, "I ****ed up" I also suspect that he's far too arrogant for that.
It didn't work without a player like Bale to tear apart the opposition. The first season was good, I agree, but in the second everyone knew what we were going to do and it was no secret in what you had to do to have a good chance of stopping us.
Sherwood is and always was a clown. When he was appointed, I started a thread likening Sherwood to Clough (hence my continual reference to "Sherwoodie" as a parody of "Cloughie"). I started the thread, because, as soon as he got his appointment out of the incompetent Levy, Sherwoodie began the boasting. But, unlike Cloughie in his day, Sherwoodie had absolutely nothing to back up his boasting, and now it has come back to haunt him and prove - as so many of us foresaw - that he is, in fact, a clown. I've said before, that I don't blame him for taking the Spurs job; any manager, no matter how incompetent or inexperienced, wouldn't turn down a job at any of the top clubs; but I do blame Levy. If so many of us saw what a disaster it would be, why could he not see it? I'm sorry if it offends those of my fellow Spurs fans of a more sensitive disposition (in respect of which, please grow up and get a life!), but serious questions have to be asked about how the club is being run, and if that is to a taboo subject on this board, then I, for one, won't post here again.
But there was no need to replace him just because a few results went wrong. Assimilating all those new players was always going to be difficult as Sherwood is finding too.
"I suspect a certain Mr Lewis will want answers." Mr Joe long game hands-off owner Lewis ?? I think not. IMHO there will only be a sense of urgency if the debt servicing once new WHL building really gets going, is under threat from on-pitch performances. That Uncle Joe does not depend on Spurs for his pension, nor seeks vanity projects like Oligarsky, are the very reasons Spurs will continue as is.
We've done this 100 times, or more. He committed the cardinal sin, to a Spurs fan, of being boring. Once he started to combine that with humiliating defeats, it was always going to be goodnight!
Agreed. What I can't understand is that the "don't slate Levy" brigade don't seem the realise that we're not asking for ENIC to pack up and clear out, just get us someone else from their vast number of connections to find a new, suitable Chairman to run the club and take us forward once again. Levy has done a great job getting us to where we are but clearly, his race has run. Time for some fresh thinking at the top; not a trigger happy Chairman with no plan and no sense of stability.
Eriksen and possibly Lloris are the only ones who've looked bothered today Even Sherwood has resolutely sat up in the stands like the rubbish manager he is.
Levy, for some reason, felt that AVB had to go at a time when no experienced replacement was available. Sherwood was pretty much his only option. Nearly all on here thought sacking AVB was right as 'it couldn't get any worse'. It appears it could.
Can you hear the fans singing 'Levy's a ****er'. It's about time that prick took the blame for this absolute embarrassment of a side. Selling our best players every year has worked a treat hasn't it you greedy bald twat!
Sherwood was only ever good as a short term boost to morale, after AVB, and it worked for a few matches, but he was never gonna be the long term answer for you guys. As he is completely clueless tactically, and has slowly alienated the players with his harsh criticism of them in press conferences. Your team on paper is a lot better than what it's performing. At the start of the season you'd of said your team was stronger than Liverpool on paper, so it just goes to show what difference a decent manager can make. There are plenty of big name managers who have been linked with you, but I think Gus Poyet is the man you should go for. I think he's a very good young manager, plus he's an ex player of yours
