YES or NO: Would you take Tim Sherwood back at Tottenham until the end of the season?

Tim Sherwood says Tottenham job would be ‘impossible to turn down’
Tim Sherwood insists that the Tottenham Hotspur job would be ‘impossible to turn down’when asked whether he would make a return.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Sherwood said: “Well, the answer is I think it’s impossible to turn down, because it’s an opportunity to go back to a fantastic football club, but it’s broken at the moment, and it needs fixing for the short term.
“We know there’s not a long-term future there because Mauricio Pochettino will come to the football club. He won’t come, by the way, if they’re in the Championship. They might have to look elsewhere for that.”

The former Spurs boss believes Tottenham need to find a coach who understands the club and the league, claiming Tudor was a ‘strange’ appointment.
Sean Dyche is linked with the Tottenham job, and perhaps he could be the ideal candidate to keep the Lilywhites in the top-flight.
“But let’s hope they stay in the league, and as I talked about, I thought it was a strange decision with Igor Tudor,” he added.
“Thomas Frank’s a very good manager, and he knows the Premier League better than anyone. So, what happened there?
What are you doing with Igor Tudor if you are the Tottenham board after that Palace loss? 😫
“Ange Postecoglou, who I would never have got rid of in the first place. He won something. You’re sacking a winner. Now, I know everyone says he finished 17th in the Premier League, but there was a reason why he finished 17th.
“Perhaps you start looking now, and you think we need to look closer to home here, you know, because the players are not up to it at the moment. The players are not showing what they’re capable of doing.”
The North London club have games against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool, with the biggest game of the season after that against Nottingham Forest.
Spurs must make a decision soon, as they simply cannot afford to suffer defeat to Forest if they hope to remain in the Premier League.
