Re: Freedman out!
We're not going for a new manager so it is academic but I've been pretty impressed with how Sherwood has handled himself at Spurs.
Tells it like it is. Has done pretty well there considering the situation.

Re: Freedman out!
Win percentage of 59% with a group of overpriced misfits signed by AVB with constant rumours you're about to be sacked? Motivating the likes of Adebayor into actually bothering to move?KeyserSoze wrote:BWFC_Insane wrote:We're not going for a new manager so it is academic but I've been pretty impressed with how Sherwood has handled himself at Spurs.

I'd say that is pretty decent, however you look at it.

Re: Freedman out!
So perhaps correctly priced misfits then? Or would that involve thinking about what you write?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: Freedman out!
Except he achieved that success by motivating pre-existing Spurs players like Adebayor at the expense of £30M summer signing Soldado.......Lord Kangana wrote:So perhaps correctly priced misfits then? Or would that involve thinking about what you write?
Then there is Erik Lamela....£26M hasn't played since December.

Looks like it was more to do with a bloke having half an idea of how to manage players just like ..........Lord Kangana wrote:So he hasn't achieved his success with overpriced misfits then?

Re: Freedman out!
Can't argue with his win record, but I'm unconvinced. Tony Adams/ David James school of idiots who think they are revolutionary geniuses. He'll get found out IMO, if he's not pissed off all the players by then.

My view as well. Way, way too full of himself.Prufrock wrote:Can't argue with his win record, but I'm unconvinced. Tony Adams/ David James school of idiots who think they are revolutionary geniuses. He'll get found out IMO, if he's not pissed off all the players by then.
He'll get his opportunity however & then we'll see. Maybe be allowed to piss QPR's money against a wall for a bit when 'arry decides he and Rosie have had enough.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: Freedman out!
Aye, there is that. I would not appoint him as he's a risk. Just I've been impressed with him and think he has a chance of a career in management.Prufrock wrote:Can't argue with his win record, but I'm unconvinced.

Probably means he'll be absolutely hopeless.

Re: Freedman out!
For me, the concern with him is his results against teams around / above them.. They don't just seem to get beat. They seem to get tw*tted..

Spurs fans I know - and they are legion - can't stand Terrace Tim and his knee-jerk gobshittery. One of those whom you don't mind being in charge of someone else's team. File under Di Canio, P.

Re: Freedman out!
Sounds about right to me. Consistently feel embarrassed for him during his press conferences, which he performs in the style of a man admiring his muscles in a gym mirror. His fake humility makes my stomach churn.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Are we talking about Freedman, Sherwood or Wenger (away)?boltonboris wrote:For me, the concern with him is his results against teams around / above them..

Give over. His fake humility is the most genuine fake humility you'll see this side of the black stump.

Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

Re: Freedman out!
I'll put this in here.

I think it is obvious who the candidates are that he's talking about. Sounds like a real mess and shameful of those players to act in that way. Glad Dougie is taking some blame too.
I really hope we can be more together as a club next season both in and out the dressing room.

A refreshingly honest article. Presumably the troublemakers have now left?
Like I said. The first 10 games of next season will show whether he stays or goes. There's nowhere to hide now.
