This Isn’t Tim Sherwood’s First ASSASSINATION

By The Boy -

 

Funny old game.

Here’s something to ponder upon. I call this week’s manager Iago, but why? Well, there’s bits and bobs that would benefit nobody (especially my lawyer) getting into the public domain.

But this is.

First we have an interview with Brad, which failed to corroborate any of the press sniping. Now we have further evidence that Timothy has form.

What did Iago tell us, only yesterday?

I’m up for a challenge. I always have been. I’m very opinionated.

Indeed you are, my little Iago. Indeed you are.

Here’s Roy Hodgson, being interviewed, on January 5th, 1999. Uncle Roy has never been anything less than a gent in all his football dealings.

His kindly, open nature has been evident in all he does.

Here is his on Iago’s dressing room coup as he spoke on Sky Sports’ The Last Word with Jimmy Hill!

One of the major factors in what happened was Sherwood’s discontent at not being allowed to go to Tottenham…

Up until that time, Tim had done a very good job in captaining the team and was also very supportive to myself and the other players – he did a good job behind the scenes.

He became very disenchanted with the club and everything around the place when he thought the proposed Tottenham move had fallen through.

Being such an important character in the club, his discontent was able to spread to a lot of other players. These people did not have the strength of character, personality or experience to stand up against somebody who was finding fault with most things.

I don’t think anybody should come into a club and, for their own selfish reasons, start saying that certain players should stay or go.”

What’s that, I hear you say, that was only Roy’s version of events? Well try this for size. This is from Gary Flincroft, who signed for Blackburn in 1996:

Roy did a fantastic job, he was a superb coach but towards the end lads like Tim Sherwood wanted to leave and he probably lost the dressing room through no fault of his own. Team spirit was not there and that is what happens.

It was a surprise to see Roy go because he was probably one of the best coaches I have ever worked with.

A lot of the lads liked him but a few of the senior professionals drove him out.

Levy & Co. have made a massive mistake. Instead of breaking the cycle they created, they’ve listened to at best poor, at worst, devious advice, we’re in a mess again.

This twister may have form Daniel: but the real sadness is, you were incapable of seeing it.

Here’s one for Joe Lewis’ Christmas cracker:

Q: What do you call a man who keeps firing the people he employs?

A: Someone who should stop recruiting!
