He's good mates with their owner...they played together at Norwich. He was frequently at Swindon games when he was here watching Lugano who surprisingly hasn't amounted to much. I am surprised at the title...he is effectively manager but seems they didn't want to dismiss the head coach but he has little authority now.

Zatman Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Swindon in bottom 4 at moment though he probably cant do worse than what they are at the moment they are on TV tomorrow morning, probably a major unveiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 surely randy and fox werent stupid enough to put "any other manager role" in to his settlement... surely! timmy tactics getting paid to be a director of football at swindon, no doubt still some tv work and still getting a few bob a month off us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Wasnt he academy director at Spurs or similar role before becoming manager. so he might have more experience in this role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Did anyone see his interview on Sky regarding this move? It was horrible. Basically saying he has the final say on what first team goes out, it will be an honour for the Swindon manager to work with Tim Sherwood because... well, it's always good to get help from someone. If you can find it somewhere, watch it. And cringe quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Yes, basically he is director of football but he won't be sitting in an office, he will be on the training pitch, in charge of tactics, transfers and team selections. Current manager might aswell just cut his own nuts off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 This isn't going to end well, very similar to another cockney wideboy, Dennis Wise. He managed to blag himself into a job he wasn't qualified for purely on not what you know, who you know. I look forward to the shit hitting the fan in a few months time, and Tim's reputation (if he has one) going down the toilet even further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Gonna throw it out there, when times were good (i.e. the period between beating West Brom/Leicester and losing to Southampton, embarrassingly), Tim actually grew on me. Admittedly in the same way hair begins to grow from inside your ear but grew on me nevertheless I still maintain that it was the 6-1 (should/could have been 10-1) defeat to Southampton that screwed it all up, or rather, Tim's reaction and handling of that result that screwed it all up. In retrospect I guess it was always a matter of time as I believe he lacks the mentality to be a good Manager but the good times could have lasted for just a little longer potentially.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
