Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Tottenham and Aston Villa. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at White Hart Lane in London and can be live streamed here free.
With another frustrating season coming to a close for Tottenham, manager Tim Sherwood has bemoaned his treatment at the club in anticipation of his exit. The 45-year-old was vocal about the uncertainty surrounding his position (h/t to the Guardian). "I am doing this job with a lot of uncertainty around my future," Sherwood said. "If you have a supply teacher who comes into your school, sometimes they are not treated with the respect that a headmaster is."
"If I need any information, I am better off asking the players. Sandro [Raniere] obviously has a knowledge of what is going on. I wish I knew. I don't know if the chairman has spoken to Sandro, but obviously somebody has told him [that I will leave at the end of the season]," he added.
"The players look a lot at the speculation and it begins to be more than that. I have had a lot of players come to me and say to me: 'Our agents have told us you are not going to be here next year.' It's a very difficult situation."
"I just have to wait to see the chairman [next week] and see what the future holds. We have already discussed pre-season and I have given a list of players to the chairman and [the technical director] Franco Baldini of the players I would recommend we keep, the ones I recommend we leave and the ones I recommend we bring in."
"I am not sure how we are getting on with that list. Until I speak to him, they have not given me any indication on how they are moving forward with that."
Will Tim Sherwood be able to justify his position by finishing the season with European qualification? Tell us @SportsWN
