Three members of Harry Redknapp have followed him out of Tottenham.

[Another site] says Tim Sherwood has survived the cull of the Tottenham coaching staff and could be elevated to a more senior role in the new regime.

The former Spurs midfielder has escaped the fate of Joe Jordan, Kevin Bond and Clive Allen, who have left along with Redknapp.

Didn't think much of bond ... But liked Allen and Jordan ...

Sherwood is here to stay for a long while yet
Which is good I like him also

Does anyone else think there is something funny going on at spurs? We delist from the stock exchange 6 months ago saying it will help finance the new stadium...however this clearly makes no sense as your taking a potential source of finance away from the club.

Next we let Harry go for a large settlement, with no immediate replacement. Another strange decision.

Then you look at what Harry said "The club wanted change" and "CL wouldn't have made a difference" also both odd thing, as the club was finding the best spell we have had in years, and why would CL not have made a difference? You'd fire the manager of a CL side for doing what you set him out to do at the start of the season?

The only way I can see these decisions making any sense are if Lewis and Levy are lining up the sale of the club. Thats the only way I can explain all the above. Don't know to who, but it does seem to be the only thing to make sense of all this.

Thoughts? (ed?)

Steed

Steed spot on mate it's all a bit odd I think for us to go forward we need a big investment lets face it we can't match the wages of the other top four clubs perhaps this is what the next step is a new owner with a big cheque book Harry's comments were as if he was hinting at something big behind the scenes lets hope are manager is sorted and we start spending to ease bales worries at the end of the day we don't wanna loose r best players but no one is bigger than the club we lost sol to the arsenal teddy to utd berba as wel carrick and we still went forward eventually but I'd love to see a new owner who will back a new manager and bring us forward lets hope it works out

Avb is an imediate replacement.

Well......HR's comment about change, in my opinion, meant managerial change.
I agree about a possible sale but there would be no point changing managers if they are selling up, certainly not appointing a new one anyway. Time will tell, if we appoint a new man, then no sale, again in my opinion.
Saying that, I've heard rumours they are trying to get a naming rights payment on the new stadium before any sale is considered.
So, in short, either a sale or a new boss coming in should clear it all up.

Is AVB the spurs manager right now? No. So how exactly is he an immediate replacement?

I'd agree with the person who said a manger appointment either way will tell us alot. We appoint in a few days and a sale is less likely, if we don't it strongly suggests (to me) that Lewis is looking to sell.

Steed

If no one is bigger than the club then they shouldn't be allowed to leave.

I respectfully disagree with the poster above. While i agree that waiting to appoint a manager might mean there might be a purchase happening. IF a a high profile trophy winning manager like AVB comes, then the value of the club could potentially go up. This applies to any replacement of international notoriety.

How about Damiao, Hulk, Llorente, Rossi, Aguero, Cavani, Hazard, Lavezzi, Remy, Ganso, Casemeiro as players we have bid for or looked at. {Ed002's Note - Some yes, some no.}

Ed more like some yes some no some lol

Ed, 2 things. First off, hearing some terrifying rumours that dan levy wants comolli back? Tell me it's not true, I've supported levy through thick and thin but this would be awful. Second, loads of chelsea fans suddenly think they're getting walker? Can't see it happening considering he just signed a new deal, but is there something I don't know? {Ed001's Note - I have not heard of any rumours regarding Comolli back, but I will try and find out for you. As for Walker, Chelsea like him, that is as far as it has gone.}

I'm pretty sure that comolli bought Bale to the club plus a few good other youngsters like taarabt, boetang and dos santos. Ok the last 3 haven't performed for us but ask any QPR fan they were so glad he failed to impress with us. Boetang has gone on to play for 'bigger' teams and in my opinion has done well.
I could be wrong but I think he was also the brain behind Walker and Naughton aswell. So out of that list 2 players who came in and got young player of the year.

I don't think it's comolli who is the problem just the idea of a DOF I'd have him as a scout anytime.

Feel free to correct me if you need to as I'm not 100% on all this but just trying to make a point.

Oh yeah also check out some of the youth Liverpool have now... in a couple of years I'm sure they will have some class players... thanks to comolli!! {Ed001's Note - Comolli wasn't the one bringing in the Liverpool youth, that is completely untrue. The Academy dealt with those signings, not Comolli.}

Charlie Adam, mega-bucks on Downing, Henderson and Carrol....

As well as being responsible for liverpools current load of dross, comolli is the man who not only completely undermined martin jol, but also spent15 million pounds on bentley, 16 million on bent. Nearly all of our expensive fringe players were bought under him. His mode of business is buy anyone who could be lauded as the next big thing no matter how much it costs. As a result we would get situations like we would need a new left back for now, and instead of going out and getting who the coach wanted, Comolli would go and get a young attacking midfielder for 5 years time if he fulfills his potential. I would be interested to see what would happen if we got a DOF, but not comolli

Perhaps it was more about the scouting under Graham Carr than about the DOF ?

No I think carr's blameless in this instance, look at what he's done at Newcastle. Basically out of the 2, comolli and Carr, who's at toon and who's at pool? They're on completely different ends of the spextr

Carroll was miss handled by kenny dalglish..who was too confused with the strategy..
and watching carrolls performance in last few months n that thumping header in euro..there is no dbt carroll is here to stay.
