‘Why Do We Need Guardiola When We’ve Got Tim Sherwood?’ | Not The Best of Weeks For The Spurs Boss

Sherwood1_3_2795225bDoes Tim Sherwood have any idea what the heck he’s doing? Who knows but it’s been a difficult week for the tracksuited Prince of St. Albans. Even more difficult than the time he had to tell his Blackburn team-mates that he was the reason they weren’t signing Zinedine Zidane.

It all started last Wednesday. After delivering some top quality pre-match bantz on the subject of Spurs’ miserable goal difference and the likelihood of it taking a further whop against City, Sherwood then had to watch in despair as his players took the point quite literally and attempted to concede eight in the opening twenty-minutes. A festive Vlad Chiriches wasn’t the only one who looked like he was playing with last night’s bottle of Pinot Grigot onboard: the whole side sagged bleary-eyed in the wake of the Manchester club’s early dominance. Just the five goals in the end.

The defeat was then followed by the temporary departure of Lewis Hotlby to Fulham on what must’ve been the most non-eventful Transfer Deadline Day since, well, the last one. While stocks of twinkle-eyed Germans were left troublingly depleted, Sherwood announced he had total confidence in the players that remained at the club but definitely had the backing of Daniel Levy should his opinion have been otherwise.

Meanwhile, in the Tottenham boardroom…

Tim: I’ve drawn up a shortlist of available players I think would really help us.

Daniel: Oh wow. That’s great, Tim. Good for you!

Tim: Do you want me to go through some of the names?

Daniel: Sure. Why don’t you just leave it on my desk and we’ll have a look shall we?

Tim: Ok, but-

Daniel: -Just leave it on the desk, Tim.

Tim: Right.

Daniel: The desk, Tim.

To complicate things further for our glorious leader- following the weekend’s dropped points at Hull- it was announced on Tuesday that Swansea had bid a brusque farvel to Michael Laudrup; a coach many had championed as the logical successor to Andre Villas-Boas.While it’s unlikely the Dane is in any danger of getting the job at White Hart Lane, it’s not an ideal situation for the current boss; to have another, perhaps more fancied manager peering over his shoulder, like Banquo’s f*cking ghost, when the pressure is already at a ball-tingling high.

In a similar way that Rene Muelensteen has the double-threat of Alan Curbishley and Butch Wilkins waiting stage-left, to tidy-up any potential train-wrecks that might occur in his occupancy, Sherwood might start to feel his position destabilize by the very idea of an available Laudrup.

Still, happy birthday, Tim, eh?
