After listening to the media and rival fans rant and rave about how the club have treated Sherwood despite his 'amazing' win record I feel the need to point out a simple fact.
If Sherwood is such an amazing manager and Levy is so clueless for sacking him then why is he odds on the manage a Championship team next season and not a shoe in for West Bromwich or any other Premiership team?
I have also noticed that the media love Sherwood because he would chat to them and tell them all the gossip around the back room of Tottenham like the unprofessional oath that he is yet they hate Levy because he will never talk to the media so is it little surprise that they are having a Sherwood love in

Of course Sherwood would have been fully aware of the terms of his employment, however if Sherwood was aware of the clubs intentions why did Levy make so many misleading and inaccurate comments.
Not sure which comments are you referring to?
Levy has made NO PUBLIC statements porior to Sherwood leaving!
If it is the Club denial that Spurs have not approached Ajax re De Boer, That is certainly open for debate, however I don't think they have denied speaking to his representatives, have they?

Genius Greaves
I acknowledge that the statements were not directly attributed to Levy per se however it is inconceivable that he did not sanction the club’s position.

Regardless of the excellent job he did at Spurs, he is still a novice manager with a limited CV.
Considering he had absolutely no experience of managing, and to still take a big club like ours further up the table, with a very decent games-to-points ratio, to improve the goal difference from minus to plus, within just 5 months is quite remarkable - and its a credit to him that after just 5 months he is being lined up to take the hot seat for clubs like West Brom, Norwich, Brighton, or whoever.
Too many managers are spoilt these days and just get handed top clubs and fail, without having to build up their CV from lower down.
When AVB failed miserably at Chelsea, he should never have had the privilege of walking straight into another top position like the Spurs job. He should have been made build up a reputation in this country before being handed a club like ours.
I look forward to see what Tim's next project is, i wish him luck (as long as it doesnt directly affect us) and i wonder how long it will be until we start hearing "We should have stuck with Tim and given him a chance".

....its not meant to be an "i told you so", i just think TS deserves credit for what he achieved, in just 5 months of management.

One thing that isn't being mentioned (or i haven't read it!) is the fact that we went out of every cup competition when Sherwood took over so he only had to concentrate on the league which i feel contributed to his PL win %. AVB had to juggle the league and cups.

Full back killer,

Of course i totally agree with that, but its also fair to say that the cup games in the second half of the season are generally more difficult, ie. Tromsø, Dinamo Tbilisi, Sheriff and Anzhi Makhachkala are easier opposition than Benfica or Arsenal, for example.
We should have beaten West Ham in the QF though but they seemed to be our bogey team of the 2013-2014 season
