Sorry, not interested in opinions from lower divisions of Scottish football!

No offence, but all of this "he knows the club, the style of play the fans want etc" stuff all sounds nice and wonderful, but hoddle hasn't managed anyone in nearly 8 years. Have there been no offer suitable for him in that time? Has he still got it? Going for the "one of us" managerial options such as hoddle could have gone one of two ways:
- guardiola at barca or Kenny's return at Liverpool.
Not saying I'm all for Sherwood but pretty much all the other stop-gaps aren't available.
Why has no one else employed Hoddle on the last five years? I have to give the man credit. He has managed to beg for the job so much that a few people believe he is the answer. Great player not so good as a manager.
I remember when he brought Bunjevic(Spelling? Who cares?)and Acimovic during his time as manager last time round. In one Monday night football match he brought Acimovic on as a sub only to sub him before the game finished lol Football brain!! He had his chance and blew it. Never go back...Hopefully the chelsea will learn that soon.
Oooooooooooooooooooops!! TS not SS!
Well my opinions are somewhat stronger.
Out of all the apointments Levy has made I consider this to be absolutely ludicrous at best.
Its not bad IMO its catostrophic and I am even more angry now than I was when AVB was appointed.
Furious does not even begin to say how strongly I feel.
grandspurs.......................................I am only trying to be diplomatic, it is definitely a risk rich appointment. I still think my reasoning is correct, if Sherwood bombs then Levy can pull the plug & go for a more prominent figure. He cannot then be accused of ignoring young British talent!
GG
I think its the equivalent of putting a learner driver in a damned Ferrari personally and I am not impressed one little bit.
I have always defended Levy but his managerial appointments are simply stupid there is no other word for it
Grandspurs, I can empathise with you, I have said all along we need someone with PL experience in charge.
Levy had a reasonably good opportunity in that he could have appointed Hoddle or someone similar until the end of the season, and in the meantime searched for suitable candidates.
It is as we know difficult signing the right players in January, the same can be said of finding a suitable replacement for AVB, all the good ones are tied up until at least the end of the season.
Sherwood for fronting up to Levy.
I suspect that he played his hand knowing a job at Swindon was a fall-back option (though any Levy wrath could make the loan-outs "interesting" ) .
But he is effectively in the same position as di Matteo was at Chelsky.
So barring getting Spurs a CL slot, what do you all think is the minimum silverware or highest PL position come May that will prevent a Levy clause being triggered to get rid of Sherwood in the summer ??
