A lot of people were dead against him getting the Albion job when he was mentioned in summer, although there was no real explanation why. So it will be very interesting to see how he does. No Pro Licence, but knows the club, worked with the development squad and wants to bring young players through.

Wish him luck and nice to see some faith in your own nationality.

that's what happens when you always think you can do better than what you've got

I suspect who they wanted is happy with their current team.

Spurs waiting to see who becomes available after the Word Cup.

This or that their intended target has told them he won't be available until the end of the season. Likely to be a few national coaches changing after the world cup so top managers might be wanting to get a crack at that. Failing that they might wait to see if a top club come in and then failing that might settle for Spurs!!!!

like how they announced it halfway through what is arguably the most important game of the season being shown on telly. My guess they did it to get at least get 45 minutes before their own fans and a lot of the footballing community stand up and laugh at them for not being able to attract a manager of some value rather than another gamble like AVB was. Who knows maybe this one will pay off.
Spurs have bought a lot of players and (apparently) the academy is producing good players - if Sherwood thinks he has got enough then give him a go.

I think if it was just down to waiting to see who is available after the World Cup, they would have gone down the route of bringing in Hoddle until the end of the season.
Sherwood seems to be well regarded and rated within their club for his coaching and they probably feel he wouldn't demand a move away from their Director of Football-Head Coach structure which some of their other targets might do.
I think it is a bold move and although Sherwood's style of football follows the ethos of how Tottenham's fans want to see them play, I think there are certain similarities with his approach and Ossie Ardiles' when he was their manager. They made a good start under him but then they fell away and I just wonder if something similar could happen with Sherwood. The way he will get them to play, they will need to take their chances and with Soldado playing up front, I'd have reservations.

Our game may be suffering but that's not the fault of foreign coaches/managers. Ask Everton fans if they're unhappy with a Juannie Foreigner in charge.
Did I hear right? Chris Ramsey to assist.

Spurs waiting to see who becomes available after the Word Cup.
Wouldn't they just give him till the end of the season if that was the case ?
