A bit sad and bewildered by half the thread calling him all manner of negative things. He's got his badges so is not just some thick fucker from the wrong side of the Watford gap. He has an impressive record of developing youth cf. bringing through the hottest property in English football right now and if his motivational powers are good enough to get Adebayor looking consistently good are owt to go by, who knows how much he may be able to coax from Benteke, N'Zog and our other talented under-performers? I think he will galvanize us, its about time we had a bit of brazen arrogance about the place, we've been far too nice for years. So, welcome Tim. Fook the begrudgers - unless you start acting the twat and cant turn us around.
I hope I'm wrong but he strikes me as the kind of guy who thinks we are lucky to have him. Probably because he has association with such giants of the game as Tottenham hotspurs.

Yet again the judgement of those running the club has got to be called into question. All that said, there's no choice but to get behind him now. Wouldn't be surprised if another appointment on the football side is made soon. Why are you bothered about the contract. Its only just over 2 years. Why would he join on a short term appointment?There will be clauses about getting rid of him if we are relegated with little compensation

Quote from: Toronto Villa on February 14, 2015, 03:19:28 PMExcellent article and one for the statto's. Bottom line in his short spell at Spurs, more points on average than AVB, but happened to play a more expansive game. Scored more goals on average, but conceded more. He'll open things up, and we do have a decent defence. I guess we can only see what will happen.StatsBombWe're crying out for a more expansive game and have been since Lambert came in. Seeing our wider players attacking fullbacks rather than crowding each other in the middle was so frustrating. And indeed if it means we don't put the onus on width entirely on our fullbacks, that's a good thing. I would hope Benteke will thrive. Gabby's also fairly good in the air with the right delivery too. We have Gil, Grealish, Zogbia, Sinclair and indeed Gabby, who all have the ability to get at full-backs. There are probably about a dozen fully's at most in this league who can actually defend. We've not exploited that for years. Perhaps Sherwood might actually deliver on what Lambert always promised. A bit of entertainment. A slightly gung-ho mentality, which he had at Norwich but didn't bring. I always expected 3-2 wins and 3-2 defeats in roughly equal measure. Those kind of results and a solid mid-table finish with Lambo. We didn't get that. Only for 5 months did we ever look a side with goals in us. Here's hoping for some entertainment anyway. Spurs were quite good to watch under him. The subtlety of a hammer to the skull, but it did work. Of course they had the quality, but we've got more than enough attacking quality here. It should be our biggest strength. Our attack minded players are better than our defenders in my opinion.

He also apparently turned down a number of other jobs in this past season. I think he will certainly respect us as a big club.
