Most likely- he'll be in charge this season.Think about this way. Capello is too expensive. Laudrup, Martinez etc are going to be costly to pull out of contracts. That leaves hoddle and Sherwood.

I was outraged with the manager. Now he's gone, I am optimistic....what should we do? Write to Levy?
Apparently so, used to be an Woolwich ST holder too but this is just speculation I've heard
Anybody seen his interview on the OS? I like the way he comes across. Unlike Harry he talks about 'we' and what West Ham did to 'us' a few weeks back at the Lane. He talks like he's a spurs fan.
After over 5 years working for the club and then a few years playing and captaining us a decade ago, I think he's a Yid in his heart now.
I also like the fact we just have what seems like a normal English football man in charge who understands Spurs, the Premier League and what the fans want. Never the same feeling of togetherness when a foreigner with no ties to the club is in charge.

Fuck the costly bit. We`re Tottenham Hotspur FFS not Ipswich Town. We need a proven manager to handle our multi million pound players and attempt to claw back the 4 point gap or whatever it is and finish top four. What we dont need is someone like Hoddle who hasn`t managed since struggling at Wolves years ago or a nobody like Tim Sherwood. Fucking pay the money, get the right man, and back the fucking cunt.
I'm sorry but IMO we can't knee jerk to the 'Spurs fans never backed AVB 100%' by getting behind the wrong guy regardless. Sherwood will not be the one to take our great club forward, whether he is a Yid or not. Why aren't more of you waking up to the fact that ENIC are rotten and need to go? Why are we letting them risk so much by considering Tim for the job?
We have a £100m squad and the best chance in years of doing something meaningful in the league, instead we have an inexperienced nobody that lives in Daniels pocket. We should always love the shirt regardless but unless something changes soon we are screwed.

I can't help but think that Sherwood already has an idea about the team, about things like who should start or not, tactics and the role of each player. He has been near the team and has some inside info, so i guess he already has a few ideas about how to use the players as his disposal. Bad choice or not, he knows more about the team than some other candidates which is a good thing in the short run.
AVB was only part of the problem. baldini signed his fare share of players in the summer. the most expensive ones at that. and they have been, lets face it, woeful. AVB being sacked isnt going to instantly change spurs fortunes. theres a mountain of work to be done
We could always write to Jim, he'll fix it.
What do you mean he's dead?
Paedo?????
Bugger, then we are screwed.
Shouldn't we have sent Sherwood to Swindon to be their manager for a couple of years first?
No offence but I can't imagine him having time to have a season ticket anywhere. He's been a top level footballer, he's been busy most Saturdays since he was about 8 years old.
Lets Party
I think Chadli and Vlad have been impressive. Paulinho looks like he has been here for at least a year and will improve still.
Eriksen looked fine and was dropped for no reason. Then he got injured. Soldado has been isolated, and that has been done to death...very much tactics was the problem here.
Lamela, imo, has been played out of position, and not used enough, and Capoue has also been very good, and injured.
For me, the problem was AVB.
Agreed until the last line as I've no proof of it. Everything else is spot on IMO.
We have been on the brink of absolute despair and collective mental breakdown for weeks. Now we've had some sort of reaction, would we be a "top top club" if we went and had a bigger meltdown?
I don't want to be a "top top club" if it means we are going to perpetously whine.
No proof, but most of my reasoning was managerial decisions
Wasn't having a pop. Just saying I didn't want to comment on this until more comes out, if it ever does.
I could see what he was trying to do (bit of Dutch total football by the looks of it). Just don't know if he had the right players for it.
Probably spot on. I know semi-pro footballers who haven't even been able to have a ST, let alone a premier league winner.
For the moment he's in charge, which means that - for the moment - I'm backing him.
Hoping he blows us all away with sexy football and Spurs will look like Dark Wizard-geniuses for elevating this chap without any prior experience managing at a professional level, because I fear that in 10 or 20 years the only statistic that people are going to remember is that Spurs sacked the manager that delivered the highest win % in its history in the Premier League.
