I've thought for a while that Claret and blur gilets in the club shop would be an obvious marketing ploy.

He constantly surprises and makes a mockery of the criticism that gets levelled out him. He's doing an excellent job.

He's behaving like managing the club is a wonderful opportunity, as opposed to a mighty burden.

Yep I'm feeling the love again and its mainly thanks to Tim Sherwood and his approach. Lambert seems like a distant memory now.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here, I'm delighted with the transfer window, it's looking like a really good one, but he'll be judged on results more than signings and I still have some reservations about how he'll perform on that side of things. Credit where it's due, he's transformed the mood around here no end, but it won't last too long if he can't get them playing well.

I entirely agree. I recall saying just after he joined that he looks genuinely grateful that we had given him his first proper opportunity. That the Spurs experience was cut short despite his results and he wanted to prove to everyone that he could be a good manager. I think a lot of the jibes aimed at him surround his accent and his overall mannerisms. That if he sounded like Martinez for example, he'd be taken a lot more seriously. He's still learning how to be a manager and he's going to make mistakes, but what is undeniable is that he came to the club with a very definitive plan and has put it into place in a fashion that suggests that he's been doing this for a long time. He has a robust coaching staff, and arguably the best Chief Scout we have ever had at the club. None of us expected the club that got battered in the cup final look like this just a few months on. This thing might not click immediately. But it will click. Watch out then!

The other great spin off is how much better a mood it puts us all in on here, lovely to see everyone so happy and optimistic after years of drudgery and trying to pretend we've got a bargain in Richardson, Senderos, Cole et al when we all bloody well know deep down they are shit

I think  Senderos could've turned out to be a good signing, when he picked up his knock there was no suggestion that was him done for the season but he just seemed to get setback after setback.  He showed in the few games he did play that he's a very good defender when he can stay fit.

I currently have much manlove for Tim.

Remember when we were all worried that we'd be signing players similar to Gregory did? He's smashed that one out the ballpark. I'm struggling to think of a summer of transfers that's been more exciting, or has more potential, than this one.

Maybe, but regardless of their actual levels of performance it was more the feeling those 3 signings gave off. It was very much a sense of we are cobbling together a side with players that noone else wants. It's completely different now, we're spending good money on real prospects rather than has beens. Even our free transfer was comfortably the best free transfer available in England. The whole feeling of the club has changed.
