Just read a comment that we both, i.e. club and manager, have a point to prove so could be a good fit. Which makes some sense to me.

I would bet my house on the fact that a multi million pound company has looked at and considered more than one person for the most important position within its management structure. You however, have made up your mind and seem to believe you have inside knowledge as to how Tottenham Hotspur conduct training and Aston Villa conduct recruitment procedures. I imagine you don't but am happy to be proven wrong. Go for it.It's been widely reported that they only interviewed Sherwood.You said they didn't even look. My point is that you have no idea how many people they have looked at, how many meetings they have had, how many candidates were considered. How do you know they didn't draw up a short list of 15 potential candidates, dedicate a head hunting team to collate information and professional opinions on all of them, have a set of in depth selection discussion meetings, whittle it down to a first choice and a second choice. Then Meet their first choice man, hear all the right things and hire him to give him maximum time to sort us outWhat is your problem? I said they didn't interview anyone else, as has been reported. For what you're saying to have any validity, it would have to be the case that Tim Sherwood was the best manager to not turn down an interview. If that really is the case, then we're screwed, but somehow I doubt it.

Again, absolute conjecture. I would bet my house on the fact that a multi million pound company has looked at and considered more than one person for the most important position within its management structure. You however, have made up your mind and seem to believe you have inside knowledge as to how Tottenham Hotspur conduct training and Aston Villa conduct recruitment procedures.

Spurs fans seem to be saying the obvious. He'll keep us up, sign some shit Spurs players, and be sacked November time.

Pros and cons from a Spurs messageboard:Quote... [size=78%]If he's taken a step back, taken a long hard look at himself and learned when to keep his mouth shut (both to the media and to his players), he'll probably keep Villa up. Whether he'll ever really progress them though will require him getting some good backroom staff to help with the coaching though.[/size]

I'm happy with his appointment. A lot happier than I was with the appointment of anyone since MON.
