Good evening.
I’m losing the will to live here. The longer I support Spurs the longer the idea of a living will appeals. The idea of losing the susceptibility to hope and having something up my sleeve so when at my most vulnerable, I was still making lucid decisions.
This just in and maybe I’m overreacting by telling you I believe it to be grim news.
- The Arry to England saga is a murky pit of negotiations with the FA acting like it’s inevitable… a foregone conclusion.
- The player revolt reported wasn’t so much of a mutiny rather a group of people looking for direction after discovering their ‘boss’ wanted out.
- Agents of certain players (I am not told who but it’s hardly rocket science) are basking in this uncertainty and we, the fans are surely in for a horrible summer of threats and allegations.
- Forget all the Moyes, Rodgers chitter chatter… Tim Sherwood is the Spurs manager in waiting.
Spurlative puts forward a good argument For Sherwood.
Guadiola was the B team coach at Barca (if im not mistaken) before being given his chance. we all know how well he has done.
On the flip side, Donkey Adams was instaled as caretaker at portsmouth after working as Harry’s assistant, and being recomended by our silent monk, before he left. He was sacked after getting 10 points from 16 games.
What im getting at is that until some is given the chance, you never know how well (or badly) they will perform.
These 4 games would be the perfect time to give Sherwood his chance, but it won’t happen because Levy can smell the FA’s millions.

Martin Jol…..All coaches that stepped up to become managers..nothing new or revolutionary there
I would have thought the FA would be having second thoughts about employing a manager that has presided over the biggest late season collapse since……well the last one! Does anyone seriously think that Arry has the brains and temperament to see the England team (any team for that matter) through times of pressure. He has had the biggest job he’s ever had at WHL, and when it got time to get tough he couldn’t keep his focus, has started looking for and providing excuses, and has changed his story more times than…well Rupert Murdoch or Jeremy Hunt. “We could win the league you never know”, “We’ll get 3rd”, “We just need to win 4 games..we’ll finish 4th”…After Blackburn we’ll be back to him refering to Spurs as “They” and ” this is as good as it gets”. The FA will see that appointing him for the England job is an admission of footballing failure…the appointment of Redknapp will prove that only reason the FA care about England qualifying for torunaments is for the cash from TV rights and the new shirt that will come out. He is genetically incapable of managing success..Pompey got lucky against a team from a lower divivion..big deal. His flirtation with the top end of the game has shown him up as the phoney he always was…. he can manage a crisis – but hasn’t got the vision or strength of character to build on or maintain any momentum.
As for Sherwood – can’t see it. Levy is acutely aware of fans’ expectations. He did promise us a top manager before and althouigh it fell over with Santini his pre spurs credentials were pretty high…Sherwood is certainly from the lower end of the spectrum and as good a coach as he may be he’s not high profile enough …dunno I’m not convinced Levy will see him as the man to guide us into the new stadium era.
Now there is a bloke in west London that’s turned his club around in the past few weeks and may be looking for a job come the summer……
I like what you say Rogerspurs.
I think you were referring to Di Mateo when you said West London. He has appeared to do well but in some cases it never materializes into long term success. Im a bit tired of ‘find the right man for the job’ but some managers are only good at putting out fires.
For instance, Di mateo was sacked at West Brom. He has stepped in now and done a job, but in my opinion its only because he is not AVB.
What i mean is that he looks good, but the players got a natural boost when the crouching Portuguese man left the building. They simply like Di mateo more because compared to AVB he is the alternative.
PLus, there was no pressure. He couldnt do worse than AVB at that stage. Waited in the wings, observed everything that went wrong with the team and then came in and did it different.
My point is he was there already. Jol did the same thing when Santini left?
I see a patter. Bring in Sherwood or someone else at the club who actually has aspirations of being a manager. I also think Sherwood is young enough to stay with Spurs for a long time and with the new stadium we could hopefully be successful based on solid foundations like ol Fergie has done at Man u.
I hear Blackburn are looking for a manager to get them out of the championship next season.
Tim Sherwood was said to become the next manager of tottenham 2 years ago or soo. I think Levy is trying to do it the BARCA way. Guardiola also came from the reserve team and so does vilanova their new trainer.
If Sherwood or rodgers takes over we are screwed.
For me Benítez might fit the bill . Since he left Liverpool al has gone to hell for them, and lets face it he did win them the champions league and came damn close to winning the premier liga.
This makes no sense. You use a very successful example, then rubbish it with no evidence whatsoever. Benitez? Seriously?
You give ma a laugh Harry I’ll say that for you.
Whoever is blowing in your shell is clearly just out for a laugh.
It will not be Tim Sherwood, he will survive the cull but he will not get the gig, Moyes has it in the bag. Everton have already sounded out Lambert & Jol as replacement.
