Stevo985 Posted February 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2015 There's nothing wrong worth being wary IMO. Sherwood doesn't automatically warrant anyone's blind faith or their derision. Watch and wait and see how the pudding tastes. So how long has he got? 5 minutes of his first game. If we're not 2-0 up by then then he's out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 His mandate is to keep us up. If it gets to the point where it's obvious he's not going to do that I guess it's time for people to unleash should they wish to do so. I can't see much point in being all outraged at this point in time. The decision had been made and nothing short of an absolute disaster will unmake it.

jacketspuds Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Gotta love his arrogance and honesty. At least he won't talk about how fantastic the players were after a 3-0 pounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Don't think he's said anything wrong. Its a valid point. Not everyone has to work in the lower leagues to step up and not everyone needs bags of experience to be a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 He's a headline writer's dream. “I think Pochettino has done a really good job there, but mine’s still up there to be shot at. Experience is overrated. If it was all about experience Wayne Rooney wouldn’t play for Everton at 16. “Guardiola didn’t have to go out and work in the lower leagues, did he? It helps when you have the best players in the world. Don’t get me wrong! “But not everyone has to take the same pathway. I am grateful for the opportunity here and I will give it everything.” The headline team obviously leap all over it and suddenly it becomes SHERWOOD WANTS TO BE GUARDIOLA He just needs to be careful because it won't take him many defeats or bad incidents for these things to be thrown back in his face. I just hope he doesn't talk about Spurs too much. **** Spurs. I don't care what you did there Tim. He enjoys the press of it all. He did well at Spurs so wanted to stay in the limelight, if things don't take off for him here, I wonder if he'll shy away? Can't imagine it to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I wanted Sherwood and I'm happy we got him. It seems a lot a fans were against his appointment because they still actually think we are capable of bringing in a top level manager. The reality is this is the best we could do and we should be happy about it. Saying that if Sherwood turns out to be a shit manager I'll be more than happy to say my judgement was wrong and I want him gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Just saw a good comparison in the match thread talking about Lambert's first home match. Everton. 0-3 at HT. Fingers crossed we do a bit better. Dealing with Crouch will be huge, Vlaar always struggles with big men, though Crouch isn't a traditional burly forward.

He said there was an unbelievable amount of interest in the job. Of course that doesn't mean it was from really good managers, but I find it hard to believe that if there was that much interest then there wasn't someone better than Sherwood based on credentials (that doesn't necessarily mean better than Sherwood in terms of potential) I'm not doubting that Fox has employed who he thought was the best person for the job, and I'm sure Sherwood talks a good game. But I think you're doing the club a disservice by making out we couldn't attract anyone else. Edited February 20, 2015 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
