Which is irrelevant if he's lost the players.
we can throw all the stats we want but now it looks like he has/will lose the players. These modern footballers will not take this from someone who has only just started on the managerial route.
Sure, but I don't think that we can completely put that feather in Timmy's cap as something that HE earned. Did we perform better because Timmy was there or because AVB wasn't? Maybe some combination of both, but let's pretend that this happened all due to him.
Without the views of different people, it's not really worth hearing though.
I'd be interested to know how his recent change in tact has affected or influence your opinion of him, if at all?
Has anyone been put off Sherwood because of it? I prefer it, personally, and I like him more for being ballsy, I just don't know if he's over-doing it now; we'll find out on the pitch I'm sure.
We will just have to see if this approach works or not. If I were a manager of an U18's or U21's side I think it will have the desired effect it's how you get teenage kids to perform (I recall my managers team talks when I was that age and that language/approach was all you got).
Managing men, proffessionals and Internationals alike, we are told by ex-pro's now turned pundits that this method you never do. You never come out and say this publicly we are told………..All I can say is I don't care right now, as I assume since he has been in charge he has been trying to address what we all have been seeing all season long, which has been no desire, will or belief. This means what he and his staff have been doing/saying hasn't worked. So what else can he do? This is the last throw of the dice

That it's happened so early into his reign shows how he's just not yet got what it takes.
There's also the fact that aside from the removal of AVB, the backroom staff hasn't changed either. It may not just be Tim, it's possible that they don't have faith in the staff that have been with them the whole season.
AVB's staff went with him.... Only Freund kept on.
if anything his outburst after Chelsea and today has made me respect him more. He captained a side to the PL title, he knows what it takes to be a winner and can clearly see there were no winners on the pitch on Saturday.
Hopefully the players react well to his comments and come out fighting, but if they don't I'm sure the fans will let them know (I don't agree with that but it's what will happen, the fans won't take kindly to players not putting effort in).
According to the currenet pattern - he's the next Sherwood
I meant the likes of Les, Freund, Tony Parks, Sherwood himself, Baldini and so on.
when he got the job i wasnt happy but he got it so i backed him as he was the manager of our club but you CANNOT say these types of things to top flight footballers if you have nothing to back it up with in regards to managerial success.
as Guido said it might work with youngsters but not international players. He going a bit benitez for my liking. knowing he is going and not giving a fuck
I agree, and having a PL winning captain as a manager is fantastic for us.
I just fear that our younger expensive players won't respect that enough to respond, but I'd hope for a lot better from our HG lot
A better option IMO.
Sherwood rotating the squad...rather, his idea for it scares the piss out of me...hopefully it just means MORE HARRY FUCKING KANE!!!
I think it worked well for Rafa
In fact, I'd say Rafa handled the Chelsea lot brilliantly and he won my respect for that
He was a CL winning manager though, so had more of a CV to be excused for it
exactually what i was going to say HE could back it up Tim cant
Its like Harry never left, where were they all when the idiot was in charge.....
