Popular Post benireduk Posted February 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Fed up of some of the negativity on here. Realistically, who else could we have got this quickly? If we had been going into next week without a manager, people would be moaning that it was taking so long. He's got a more than decent record at Spurs. Granted it was over a short period but ask yourselves this. Are you more confident in staying up now than you were this time last week? I know what my answer is. Stop bitching and get behind Tim and the team. Macron can now expand in to the lucrative gilet market.

dn1982 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Looking forward to seeing how it goes with Sherwood at the helm. I'm actually excited by the development, something which I haven't felt for years as a Villa fan! I'd be a little more excited if our status in the league wasn't on the line. We'd have gone down under Lambert (IMO). I think we have a far better chance of staying up now, in fact I am convinced we will be fine. I don't think our chances have changed at all, for staying or going. They've changed from being a certainty to unknown. We have a chance instead of sleeping walking into relegation we will at least scrap to stay up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think Lambert would have kept us up and I expect Sherwood to follow in his footsteps, hopefully we can win the FA Cup too, get taken over in the summer and Sherwood can proves he's a great Manager under better conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubby Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I don't understand all these questions on his experience, how many were happy enough to give Petrov, Laursen or Mellberg the job? Any one in any job has to start somewhere and no matter the task at hand, if an individual displays certain characteristics to get the job done, which I think he does, then they deserve the opportunity to prove it. He has had a good playing career as well as building a good coaching reputation and we have a lot of players who will benefit from that. Let's be realistic, we were heading only one way and if that's the same direction we head with Sherwood at the helm then at least we might do it with some fight.

mightysasquatch Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm kind of happy with have someone having some ego. I'm fed up up our managers being soft, we need the team in general to show some grit & fight to have the right to be in the team. Too many of our squad get a free ride. I'm glad we have someone who isn't afriad to tell a player that 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 To be fair, I think his first 6 games (if you include tomorrow) give him a decent stab at having a good start - they are all "winnable", but obviously "there's no easy games". I reckon he probably thinks he thinks he can win the against Leicester and then win 3 of the next 5 league games. I think he has that level of confidence, and I don't think he would have took the job if he felt otherwise. However, if he doesn't get 3 wins from the next 5, then I think we might be in trouble, as the next 7 games before Burnley on the last day look a bit tasty...

TonyDaley Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Not sure how I feel about this, was one of those who lobbied for lambert and admit i thought he needed to go at the beginning of the season. Not sure this is what we needed, it's one of those where we might as well stuck with lambert as for all sherwoods potential he is not proven in this environment, I would have personally gone with an experienced manager on a short term contract and reassessed in summer or a number 2 to take the pressure of lambert, see where we are at the end of season and get a manager suited to the situation (promotion push or get up the table). That being said I as usual will get behind the team and hope for that "new manager syndrome" of us getting some valuable points onboard and getting safe. We have some winnable fixtures coming up and could go on a little run. I just worry that if we don't get that it could be to late for this team and sadly will drop out of the league. I think the nucleus of a good team is there, hopefully sherwood has the man management skills to get the best out of them (I don't know him well enough to judge and don't think the stint as spurs boss gave any evidence) and I will say he was the type of player who you would have said had potential for management. Tactically I am not sure but as before never really paid much attention to spurs when he was there. It's a gamble and we are due some luck.

GENTLEMAN Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Interesting interview on football focus. Tottenham: Tim Sherwood will show players who is boss Use accessible player and disable flyout menus Jump media playerMedia player helpOut of media player. Press enter to return or tab to continue. Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood tells Football Focus that players need "honesty" and to know "who is boss" in order to respect their manager. Sherwood, 44, replaced Andre Villas-Boas in December and was given a contract until the end of the 2014-15 Premier League season. The former England midfielder says it is a "pleasure and a privilege" to manage the club and added that he's "convinced" he can do the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 If he wins against Stoke, he'll have a 100% win ratio.Good maths. And proves my point.Not really Stefan, your point was basically 'saying 60% win percentage isn't the whole story'. You responded with an equally blinded point of 'that's stat manipulation'...which, guess what, didn't tell the whole story either. If we had to fully explain every sentence we posted on here, it'd be a very boring forum indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the experience thing is a question mark on sherwood compaired to if it had bèn Petrov, Laursen or mellberg purely because what they lack in experience they make up for with ties/history and passion for the club, not saying that is right or wrong but that's how I see it.

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I like him and think he will do a good job. I expect a feel good factor to slowly return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I look forward to all these posters saying they are glad Tim tells it how it is and he will give the players a kick up the arse complaining in a few months time that he is dragging our name through the mud and embarrassing himself. Because it will happen. Maybe not in the next 13 games. But it will happen. Just like Di Canio it will happen. Sunderland fans loved it at first. But when the honeymoon period is over and the wheels come off he has a personality that will only exacerbate the situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didiersix Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hopefully he will give Grealish a fair crack and get us playing without fear. But what really scares me is simply his lack of experience. Presumably that's why we are busy trying to get a DoF so they can do all the transfer negotiations etc. Looks to me that Sherwood needs to be a coach first and foremost.
