So Spurtz have given Tim Sherwood the job until the end of the season. WTF is Levy thinking. Does he really think an untried, untested former player can do better then someone who has actually done the job (and won trophies) before. OK, AVB wasn't great, but he was the best manager they have had in many a year.

Got to agree there.

Agreed, football has long since lost the plot, he panicked and sacked AVB with no plan for what to do next. This is where Spurs are now, they sack at the drop of a hat and now have that reputation. Harry Rednapp should still be there and I don't see how anyone could do better than he did and it STILL didn't save him. Any manager with any dignity wont touch the job so they have to make do with Tim Sherwood who has nothing to lose and something to gain and who they can get rid of as soon as anyone better comes along.

And it's a crying shame because they've been a team with a touch of flair for a good while. That flair doesn't mean they'll win, of course. But they'll never win anything big like this.

Is this the same Tim Sherwood that said in a live interview after Sundays game that he was only interested in the job long term. And didn't want to just keep the seat warm for a high profile manager to come in ?

I didn't know he'd said that, but who wants a sacking at Santa time?

Seems to be the new way straight to managing in the prem, forget working your way up the minor leagues, join the coaching staff of a sack happy team.

18 month contract innit?
Still a crap decision by Levy but what else would you expect from that egotistical idiot

It is a bit like that, isn't it? But as it's also who's-head-is-highest-above-the-parapet territory it can only work for a couple of months.

Your right i was on my phone on the way home from being forcefully dragged round Tesco's I miss read what Ian wrote. I just heard on the radio that it was a contract till the end of next season and thought D'oh . Hope he does well young English manager seems a nice bloke. Just wondering how many more managerial mistakes Levy will be allowed to make ?

it's an interesting choice. They've tried the high-profile manager and now they're going for the hands-on coach - a coach that Levy will know a bit about. And, moreover, a coach who can uncork the undoubted talent that is Adebayor
