TOTTENHAM ARE LOST AGAIN WITH LIFE AFTER BALE AS SHERWOOD IS DISMISSED
Levy and his management of Spurs is a complete JOKE. It's so sad to see Bale, their star, already winning a trophy and POSSIBLY another in his first season away and Spurs still not being able to figure out which manager to stick with. Villas-Boas did not work out, and one would think they would bring in a known name...but they went with the rookie. If you PICK HIM, STICK with him. AVB plagued Spurs so much with his buys that it would be too much for any manager to get them fourth. So why send Sherwood packing after getting into Europa AHEAD of United?
Sherwood was not perfect....but for the little time that he had with Tottenham and the players, he did pretty well. REMEMBER, he was surrounded by players he did not buy and was left to pick up pieces. Also, he was competing with Arsenal who are experts at finishing fourth and already had an established team, and Everton had one of the best up and coming coaches right now.
Sherwood may find it hard to find another job in the Premier League, but he showed that he knows enough to find another job as a coach. But I think he deserved at least one summer to see which players to keep and who to go, like Paulinho who does not seem to fit with his plans....strangely.
As for Levy and Tottenham, they look like they will miss out on Van Gaal and De Boer is up in the air. I just wish they got sensible and realize they are NOT a big club, and they need ONE manager to have a four or five year contract, and actually build a TEAM with a consistent ethos.
I fear for the future of Tottenham. It just seems they are lost without any real direction whereas Arsenal and Everton look very strong and only look to be getting STRONGER. Levy, SORT your club out and actually try and build something rather than a quick-fix which just won't cut it against other teams that are just better equipped than you.
