Everyone now against Sherwood - Why?

[Left Footer]

I`m not against Sherwood, would love to see him get the job.
I`m just not sure he would be happy with our budget or working with David Burke.

An irish horse trainer my business partner knows told him it would be Sherwood strange as it came from Ireland.

Is he getting mixed up with Shergar?

I think that Sherwood would be an interesting and brave appointment. Yes he is outspoken and at times inarticulate, but he likes attacking, entertaining football; is passionate about the game and in developing young players and bringing them on to the first team as soon as possible. I think that it is for this reason that TB may well appoint him. With the training ground development, home grown talent is the future of this club. Sherwood may well see The Albion set up as the sort of project that can satisfy his dual ambitions of management and youth development. If Sherwood is in the frame he will be well aware of the club budget and commitment to FFP. This, along with his previous relationship at Spurs with Paul Barber, may well see him as our next manager. It would be an interesting appointment and certainly never a dull post match interview.

Excellent post and perfectly sums up my feelings about Sherwood. Just think possibly he might have been appointed by now if he was our first choice!

Maybe he has been and they are just ironing out the details?

 

[Machiavelli]

If we're talking short-lists.......

Hughton, Clarke, Clement, McDermott, Howe, Di Matteo (probably wishful thinking though).

Clement, Clarke, Di Matteo, Sherwood, Howe, Rangnick and Meulensteen for me.

I would have no problem with Sherwood, but would maybe prefer someone with more managerial experience.

Forgot Di Matteo - I'd have him in my shortlist as well, possibly Clarke too.

What is it with Di Matteo? Has he said he won't coach outside of the top four of the Premier League? If so I missed it. But there seems to be the assumption that this is the case, purely on the basis that he got lucky with Chelsea and won the Champions League. He was 90 minutes away from doing exactly the same job as Avram Grant. Nothing special at all.

Wouldn't want him anywhere near us even if he did want the job. Surely he can only live off the Champions League for so long before having to take a management job?

I thought he'd got West Brom promoted from this league in 2010

Isn't Di Matteo still the 8th or 9th highest paid manager in Europe?

I've looked and his contract expires next month

[John Bumlick]

Poor disrespect of other peoples genuine reservations with the guy.

No, its because everyone is entitled to an opinion. Should everyone just agree with everything?

Calm down dears, it was a joke/generalisation about NSC. No need to get all menstrual about it....

Ahhh OK - so that's how long he can live off the champions league!!

 

[Pavilionaire]

There is no way that Di Matteo can possibly be considered when his wages were £130K per week at Chelsea.

I wonder where he'll end up. Big wages and has been out of management for a year - somewhere like Turkey or Russia perhaps?
