Still a gamble as its his first senior job. He talks a good game though,  done great  work  at spurs at youth level, and gave a debut to one of the youth players against Southampton as a second half sub, made a big difference when he came on. Support utd but like to see spurs do well, as they always played with a great style

Triffic appointment by Tottenham. Tim Sherwood is a proper football man and the players will respect him, unlike with Villas Boas.

Who would you respect more? Somebody who never played the game at any level and got their knowledge of football from reading books, Zonal Marking and Jonathan Wilson articles, or a Premier League-winning captain?

Expect Tottenham to abandon the boring, dour, fearful, negative hoofball of the continental man and return to their traditional, exciting, attractive, attacking, technically focussed passing game under the Englishman.

Exactly how many great managers were great or even good players?

It's the people who have the aptitude (and passion) for managing that have had success. It has all of nothing to do with them playing at a high level or not. If what you said even contributed in the least to Spurs making him the semi-permanent manager they are a total and utter joke shop.

Pretty sure Wenger, Jose and Bob Paisley to name a few didn't set the world alight as players......

Bob Paisley played 277 games for Liverpool and won the League title in 1947. He may have been no Stanley Matthews, but he was no Jose Mourinho either. On any level.

Same sentiment but words moved around a bit which probably gives a truer meaning, jose mourinho was no bob Paisley,  on any level.

Point remains valid. You don't have to have been a great player to be a great manager.....

The joke penalty that gave the chavs their second goal,following the gifted first,was the crucial killer
