Sherwood left hanging by sack talk

Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood believes uncertainty surrounding his future has left him as vulnerable as a school substitute teacher.

The 45-year-old has been dealing with constant speculation over his job at White Hart Lane since he penned an 18-month contract in December, having replaced Andre Villas-Boas.

The likes of Frank De Boer, Louis van Gaal and Mauricio Pochettino have been linked to the Tottenham hot-seat for some time now — with Sherwood refusing to be drawn into the ongoing chain of rumours.
