Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[SamTheMouse]

The only quotes I saw in that article were the ones about him not knowing what his best team is yet, and we already knew about those.

I'm not about to condemn him for wanting to sign average, overpaid players from his previous club simply because he's met them before, unless I know for a fact it's true.

There's enough solid evidence to damn him at the moment, without making shit up as well.

Quite.

Still doesn't get away from either
1.) He's been daft enough to say all of that and is preparing the ground for what looks like the inevitable.
2.) He's not said any of it but his mates in the media are preparing the ground for what looks like the inevitable.
3.) The truth is somewhere in between and he and his mates in the media are preparing the ground for what looks like the inevitable between them.

There's nothing like getting your excuses / retaliation in first.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I see it as getting your excuses in too

The article has not come from the ether. I think its more than likely back channeled comments from Sherwood.

Gana, Veretout, Snachez, Traore, Gil and Grealish. If you cannot make an effective midfield out of that lot, then Gods below, but you're in difficulties.

He was known at Spurs for being sneaky and underhand, and for using the press to further his own ends and improve his own reputation. Not that this means the article is genuine or anything - it is the god damn Daily Mail, for Christ's sake - but if it is real, or if we start to see a lot of articles like this, then Sherwood seems a pretty likely source for them.

Shady dealings was how he did for AvB.

I know from experience the idea that "quotes = truth" is a misnomer. Normally I wouldn't take much notice, but this story just seems to have an air of believability. For one thing, it's too detailed to be a compete work of fiction. But either way, the fact that it's appeared at all is a worry. In the same way that nobody would write about us being linked with £20 million players because that doesn't happen anymore, this sort of story only used to be about Newcastle.

not winning enough football matches will be Tim's undoing, like it is for every Manager. The rest is just noise.

Tim has no identity, no style and basically no clue.

I'm not picking on you here because lots of others have said similar things, but we're you saying that when we beat Albion twice in the space of week, put 4 past Sunderland in half hour (mind you, who doesn't), went to Spurs and won, made Liverpool look ordinary in the Semi Final and had Benteke banging in 12 goals in 10 games or whatever it was? It wasn't that long ago. A little patience wouldn't so amiss.

See everything you've highlighted SHOULD be relevant, but it's not right now. That's not to say Tim has never had an identity or style, it's the fact that right now he hasn't got one, doesn't seem to be close to finding one.
We are sinking like a ship and unless Tim decides on a system, works on it and gives it time to gel, we are fucked.

Tim Sherwood needs to talk to Tim Sherwood and make alternative employment plans. Tim Sherwood needs to confirm this too.

Sherwood has said all along that the final decision on players is his. I also heard Ray Wilkins say on Talksport not long ago that Sherwood knew a lot of young players across europe and the player's he's brought in does kind of back this up. I'm sure there are players amongst the 14 that were offered to him and he's took on board but let's face it, we were all delighted when these signing's were flying through the door a couple of months ago.

Were we? some of us were questioning whether they were good enough to play at Premier League level

Ok maybe everyone on here, but there was an overall air of excitement at these promising players coming in. Look back at the indivdual threads and you'll see what I mean.

[SamTheMouse]

If Sherwood identified all these players and signed them because he thought it would be a good idea, how come he still doesn't even know what formation he wants to play them in?

I agree, but that's always what happens when we sign a load of players.  It was the same as for Lambert in his first season.
