It might not be long-term, but Tim Sherwood has been bloody good fun since he got the job, he's the coolest manager in the league by far, and we might look like tripe one week but we come back and do the business the next. He also has that 'Arry Charm (TM) with the media which helps.
Even if we dont get into the Champions League, everything since AVB was sacked has been alot more fun, and thats the best we can ask for since Bale left.
