Keep Tim on, says Clemence

Tottenham hero Ray Clemence has urged the club to stick with Tim Sherwood as their manager.

Ajax said this week that Tottenham had contacted them with a view to speaking to their manager Frank de Boer. Spurs released a statement yesterday claiming any talk of an approach for De Boer was “wholly inaccurate”, although the club have said in recent weeks they will review Sherwood’s, left, position as head coach at the end of the year.

“Tim has a good record compared to (Arsenal manager) Arsene Wenger, and (Everton boss) Roberto Martinez. Wenger has been offered a new contract, everyone talks about how well Martinez has done, but everyone is talking about Tim, who has nearly done as well as they have towards the back end of the season, getting the sack.”
