Honestly, everyone needs to calm down. Sherwood is still basically an interim regardless of what his contract says. He's managing for his potential to retain the job, he's either up for it or he's not. If it doesn't work out here he leaves in the summer and probably gets hired at a decent lower table team to get more experience. No one would blame us for moving him as he is inexperienced.
We'll be in a good situation if we do need a new manager as after the World Cup is one of the best times to find one. All this talk of the club being ruined and unattractive is nonsense. We've built up an attractive name around Europe the last five years or so. Furthermore, we'll always have more money than 98% of clubs in Europe. The new PLTV money will ensure we will be able to attract players and coaches in the near future. It certainly was a large factor this summer.
If Sherwood makes the job his own that's great too as it will mean we've succeeded. Personally, I would recommend everyone calming the teeth grinding for a little while since I think we're going to be fine either way. We'll have plenty of managers to choose in the summer if need be.
Also, I'm not worried if we were to sell Holtby or Capoue as if we're going to be involved in the summer window we're going to need to clear the decks a bit. We have far too many players currently, especially in the midfield.
I understand the concerns about Sherwood and the club's directions but I think they are vastly overblown and blinded by factionalism. The only thing I don't understand is the accusations of Sherwood being arrogant. I've seen a lot of quotations that supposedly prove that but then when you watch the interview it is always taken out of context.
Like with the Southamptom stuff, he gets asked if another guy is going to take his job and all he says is that there is more pressure to succeed at Spurs than Southamptom since the expectations are different. We all know this is true. I've watched most of his interviews and I don't find him arrogant but instead very truthful, blunt, and to the point. Personally, I think that is refreshing considering some of the abject shit managers around the league spout.
