Neil Custis of the Sun was on Sunday Supplement this morning and thinks Tim Sherwood will be giving the boot from Tottenham this summer - something I'm sure most agree with. He also thinks CH will get the boot from Norwich this summer and thinks Sherwood would be a shoe-in for the Norwich job. What are your thoughts if that happened this summer? Do you want CH out (I'm sure most do) and would you want Sherwood over, say, Malky? Thoughts?
I've not really felt that theres much method in Sherwood's management, he seems to be putting as many attacking players on the pitch as he can and hoping that they get goals. I don't think he's a good enough manager yet, he probably needs to take a set or two down prove himself in a lower league and then in a few years maybe he'll be a good manager.
This is probably true. He had a very good start to his managerial career at Spurs but the wheels have come off in recent weeks. I would be more than happy if we could have a set of results like this from the last 3 months Chelsea 4-0 Tottenham Tottenham 1-0 Cardiff Tottenham 3-1 FC Dnipro Norwich 1-0 Tottenham FC Dnipro 1-0 Tottenham Newcastle 0-4 Tottenham Tottenham 1-0 Everton Hull 1-1 Tottenham Tottenham 1-5 Man City Swansea 1-3 Tottenham Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace Arsenal 2-0 Tottenham Man Utd 1-2 Tottenham Tottenham 3-0 Stoke Tottenham 1-1 West Brom Southampton 2-3 Tottenham - 1st game in charge
If he got an experience assistant to help him why not? His main philosophy is backing the players and putting faith in them, something i think could really help us!
That's only a couple of points less than we've got all season. Didn't he leave us under a bit of a cloud? I seem to remember something about his attitude and also something said in bad taste to Gunny. I could be wrong here, but there is something in the back of my mind.....
This is it in a nutshell for me. In the big games he's frequently been out-thought, and when playing anyone outside the top 6, their squad should be good enough to challenge for a win anyway, whatever the tactics. With weaker players at his disposal, I can't see him being half as effective.
Comes back to the same old chestnut then - who else is there? Of course, for the sake of making an argument, or at least a debating point, where do the up-coming managers get their opportunity, if all PL clubs thought the same way?
That's got to be better than our tactic of putting just one on that can't score for toffee and hoping he gets goals
Depending on which league we're in, I'd rather we looked abroad. There's got to be some managerial talent itching to get into the Premier League, so we should use our position to tempt managers. Ideally I'd like someone with a style that we can begin to implement in both the first team and with the youths. That's not exactly providing a name though! I still think the championship is a good proving ground for upcoming managers. Few teams have the mega-bucks required to buy their way out of the league, so it takes an astute manager to get a club out of there.
This is the problem really that we have been discussing all year, it is all well and good saying goodbye to CH but the replacement is not so obvious and Sherwood has proved nothing for me, neither has Malky.
I'm afraid all Malky has shown me is that he's not the manager for us! I loved him as a player, always gave his all and was very harshly treated at the end, but what I saw of his time at Cardiff, he parked the bus a hell of a lot more than CH, so those of you who moan about our negativity would have a lot more to moan about with Malky!
I don't think Malky is good enough for the prem but I do think he'd make a decent championship manager again. I think we'll be having Lennon now as the scots prem is no longer worth his time. But I'm not sure if he'd be my choice, I'm with the looking abroad crowd, but I would like to see Neil Adams brought up to at least a coach with the first team, something that wouldn't go a miss right now.
Lennon might be a bit of an overcorrect but i think it would be a popular one after he's had a few games, he's another manager from the Martin O'Neil school of management like Lambert was. A lot of Hughton's flaws are strengths of Lennon's (Attacking play, reading the game) and they both seem decent at bringing players in. People still want an attacking unlikeable scot, well Lennon is that sort of manager.
I don't think Sherwood would even be given an interview personally, there are many better options out there. Anyone and everyone is available regardless of whether they are 'in work' or not. I seem to remember the best manager we had in years was already employed before he jumped ship to come to us. Just saying P.S. What about Uwe Rosler ?
For anyone looking to prove themselves in the Premier League, so long as we stay there, its a rather attractive job, money available, relatively stable club, not run by a mad man and showed far more patience than several clubs this year.
Can't see Uwe Rosler coming here, always wanted a job near his family who are settled just outside manchester. reckon his stock will be exceptionally high at the moment as well... Would definitely take him, brentford are my second team and the way he transformed that team was superb, massive faith in younger players playing good passing football. Brought the best out of the players he had as well and now doing a great job at Wigan. He also sticks to his style regardless of what happens which is good to see
