We shouldn't have played that poorly against CP to begin with and we won 3-1 yesterday. Being able to come out stronger against a shit club shouldn't be the basis for Sherwood's support. Coming back from two goals down against a difficult team would be more impressive. The only big win he has under his belt was United, and it was frankly United who have their own issues.
You and Timmy are close friends I take it. I mean, that's the only way I can guess that you know what he's like personally as it would be impossible to tell after 37 days of his involvement in the team.
Name me one top coach who hasn't had issues with some of their best players, the board, or some combination of both.
What are you on about, exactly? No, the best case scenario is that we find a long-term coaching solution who can take us to the next level. Sherwood may be that person, but to not talk to any other prospects or talk about other coaching opportunities that may exist is bad business and strategy. Not talking to Van Gaal or any other options that may exist IS putting all your eggs in one basket.
Because true fans just blindly support whoever is around without possibly wondering if we could be better. Get over yourself.
Yeah, all that chemistry that Timmy's built in 37 days will be straight down the crapper if F'n Louis Van Gaal come in. :adelol:
Couldn't agree more.
Any manager he's up against will be vastly more experienced than him. I disagree about being tested, he's won against sides we're better than, even United, but I'm not going to have the gall to say that is still not a highly impressive result. But we want to compete in the CL next year, so how he adapts and performs against the better quality sides in the 3 I've mentioned will show if he has the capability to be the Spurs manager, not just this year, but in a CL season.
I get your point - but the histrionics are a bit OTT. Whilst I love the results since TS has been at the helm, there are a few things to bear in mind. With the exception of Manure, we have beaten s'oton, palace, stoke and swansea, all of whom we would have expected to beat, and failed to get past WBA at home. Not decrying the points haul, but Manure have been spunking points away at home all season and the rest of the performances, whilst reasonable - haven't shown resolute and impenetrable resolve. This is still a work in progress, I think you will agree.
The sun is green. See, I can say things without providing reason as well.
Bit harsh, he's entitled to have an opinion - no?
Not true - he has everything to prove in England
Okay but I still don't understand why my post was a "whole new level of bullshit".
Its a hot streak of points, but none of the performances have been exactly classical displays of clinical destruction, have they? Yes I appreciate the list of injuries, new manager/system etc. But to me its like the Bentaleb hysteria, its a tad soon to be betting the farm on Sherwood, surely?
Stability? Hot streak....really?
AVB doesnt need any help with that.
I struggled with that, and left it.
aulinhofacepalm::townhmm:
, Timmy has beaten teams it took penalties to dispatch under AVB, I'd say Timmy looks all the more impressive. One must also consider how extremely difficult it is, with no managerial experience, to take over a squad, gain their respect and start producing results immediately. Timmy has done that. Timmy has literally done everything possible to gain our faith, and instead we're off entertaining ideas of hiring another manager. In my opinion, that's a total lack of class.
ILSpur
No, but a decent fan does choose to support a manager who is proving more than capable of handling the job as opposed to talking about how excited he is over the possibility of hiring a new one. The chemistry was certainly down the crapper before Timmy came in, so it stands to reason that it could certainly go right back down the crapper if we were to fire him. He obviously did something to gain the favor of the players, yeah? Don't know too many folks that would enjoy having three different bosses in the span of a year, be it football or office space. But go ahead, like I say.. as soon as our next "dream coach" starts under performing, you and your lot will be out here with pitchforks at the ready.Keeping an open mind into other possible managerial solutions =/= #TIMMYOUT@
It's entirely possible. It's also entirely possible that I could have taken the helm and the players still would have responded positively if things were so dire internally with AVB. When a new coach takes over, players are often given a second chance (Ade), players who were getting limited time suddenly start to kick things into high gear (arguably Lennon or Dembele), and fringe/young players get a chance (Bentaleb).
And you and your kind can sit around now with your hyperbole and strawman characterizations about me and anyone else that urges temperance with fully supporting Timmy for the future.
