Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has insisted he can return to the club and replace Thomas Frank.
He took over from the sacked Andre Villas-Boas and went on to win 13 of his 26 games in charge, drawing four and losing nine.

And that record is part of the reason why he believes he could be the right man to now replace Frank in the dugout.

"It was an honour for me to manage that football club and it would be an honour for me to manage them again," he began on Sky Sports.

"I can do the job. I have proved that I can do the job.

"What they can't do is make a mistake with this appointment."

Sherwood added: "I'm 50/1, so there's no chance really...but maybe it's not sexy enough, I might have too much of a personality for that hierarchy.

Anyone knows what he's smoking? Seems to do a great deal to his comfidence, I'd need that.
 
I see some betting firms have suspended betting on interim manager job. Nothing on Hills or 365. Flood of money for Robbie Keane is what I've heard...

Keane, who previously captained the club, has been sharpening his managerial tools in Hungary with Ferencvaros, who currently sit top of the league.

"I feel great at Ferencvaros, I couldn’t be in a better place right now. I am lucky because I don’t need money, I earned a living when I was a player, I don’t do it to get money at the end of the month, I am motivated by something completely different."

He was previously linked with the Celtic job but penned a new contract in December, committing his future to the club.
 
I agree with that happening but not at the expense of relegation. His lack of man management will just make things worse.
It's a risky situation I'm going to be concerned whoever it is, I don't know who would be a good choice and would actually want the job for a temporary basis.

So far it's out of Harry Redknapp and Tim Sherwood. Has De Zebri said he wants the job even?
 
How have you got Hoeness and Motta in 3rd choices and fucking Gareth Southgate in 2nd?

Putting aside the 1st choices, this is who I think we should approach (in order):

Xavi
Hoeness
Poch
McKenna
...
...
Hütter
Iraola
Knutsen

None of this will make one iota of difference however if we still have GoonCunt and Lange at the helm. Incompetent, underwhelming cowards without a shred of accountability or nous.
Hoeneß is the one for me. His football is great, it's a more modern version of Poch's, and he took a team on disarray, like us, and took them up the other end of the table. And they're back fighting for CL to prove it wasn't a fluke. I'd be delighted if we got him.

But I reckon they'll hide behind the Poch PR stunt which will save them a year or two before the fans turn on them again.

Honestly I don’t know who we should turn to either. I know it has to be an interim now though. We can’t be making any longer appointments until them summer. I still think Iraola will come into the reckoning then if we fail to lure Poch.

Call it mostly intuition (and watching a bit of Stuttgart & reading into his managerial style), but I have a very good feeling about this fella.

Would have to be a compelling offer as he's out of contract in 2028 and groomed by media as the next Bayern coach - which I'm sure Uncle Uli is feeding into too.
 
at least De Zerbi has PL experience but he seems like such a snake that if he doesn’t get instant results he’ll fuck us off.

If he does come in which I hope, he would have a week on the training ground going through patterns of play which will do us well for the run in because we currently have nothing

Maybe Spence & Udogie can get back to full fitness, see if any of the youth players impress, with the injuries we have, I expected more game time for some of them
 
I think they will appoint De Zerbi. They will think they have to do everything to prevent relegation but that means permanent not temporary. His crazy nature will mean 18-24 months he is gone and we are back here again.
 
Been reading the Lewis family want poch back. Thats who will be our manager next season imo. If he does i will become a member again. Likely to be an interim imo. Id have Klinsmann as he would rally team and get immediate respect.

Southgate has EPL experience while Hoeness and Motta don't.
I know he's style is boring ...
 
Baring poch and burkenshaw who rode the tide of a relegation and a promotion, which gave him time and grace to build arguably one of, if not the best teams since the double... The team thrived under larger than life managers, Hoddle, el tel, Ari boy... All Att of appointments were HUGE figures in the football world and commanded INSTANT respect.
That's what this team needs someone who, when they walk in the dressing.. everyone shuts the fuc up... and listens, I'm not seeing this in any of that charisma or leadership qualities, call it what u want, in any of the above mentioned..

His trajectory definitely has him lined up as the next one indeed. Would be nice to get him in here, hope he loves it and doesn't want to leave. Having unc there does throw a spanner in the works.

I watch them when I can. One of my buddies here is from Munich, so we watch a good bit of Bundesliga at the weekend in the mornings when we're at a loose end. They're a fantastic watch, very disciplined, their pressing is ridiculous and they're so good at causing overloads in transition. Would be the dream manager. I don't know why everyone isn't high in him tbh.

Get him, Stiller and Fuhrich with him, and we're cooking with gas.
