Tim Sherwood has been appointed director of football at struggling League One club Swindon Town. The former Tottenham manager, 47, has been without a job since being sacked by Aston Villa in October 2015. Swindon head coach Luke Williams, who signed a five-year deal in March, will remain in his role at the club, who are in the relegation zone after 16 games.

Yeah why take the trouble of relegating QPR when you can go straight to L1 at Swindon. Prediction. Tim will sack coach/manager after a few weeks, Take over temporarily, if it goes well he'll claim "Job? Naaah, Not fa may" appoint someone all the while looking for a PL job. Goes badly, "Big job fa samwan uw nos da league, Em ownlay eer tiw we foyd samwan" Facks off eventually. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit confused about the role myself, but from what I have read, he will be involved with training. So i'm wondering if it is a ploy to less than gently nudge the current manager out.

NottingVilla Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Doubt we'll sign anyone due to reasons already stated plus January transfer window is a massive mug market anyway. Loans would be welcome, preferably some Premiership bench warmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many Director's of Football do you know of who are involved on the training pitch on a day to day basis? I doubt any manager would like that. "Head Coach" is the title in this case.
