Strange scenes at the end of Tottenham’s final league match of the season against Aston Villa this afternoon, when outgoing manager Tim Sherwood plucked a random Spurs fan from the crowd at White Hart Lane, handed over his managerial gilet and allowed the supporter to take his place on the bench for the last few minutes of the game…
It’s being mooted on Twitter that the fan had been heckling Sherwood throughout the game and that the Spurs boss was merely giving him the opportunity to do a better job.
It would appear that the snippy antics didn’t end there for our Timmy either…
Sherwood asked on @bbc5live ‘where’s the fan you put on the bench in the betting for the manager’s job?’ ‘No chance. He’s English’ — Mark Chapman (@markchapman) May 11, 2014
Ooooh, bitch!
