Sherwood invited a Tottenham supporter on to the bench during the game and took a back-handed swipe at Levy after the victory. He joked the fan, being English, was not the right nationality to be considered as a future Spurs manager. He also complained that too many decision-makers in the game “do not know about football”. Once Levy has met Sherwood, he will press on with trying to appoint a new head coach in plenty of time for next season.
