There’s absolutely no way Sherwood would get the Spurs job now.
But Sherwood has done the same coaching course as Chris Wilder who is praised within this article?

If you want more proof, look at how well England have done with Gareth Southgate in charge.
Who has been served well by good youth coaches at club level and England international level, influence of Klopp, Pep and Cooper, who have ensured that these are the most technically gifted English players for ages. It's also a system that has stolen, as they should, an awful lot of what the FAW has done so well to create the right environment for players to produce their best and a huge amount of investment - has any team invested as much as the English FA into football since 1966? - that means it's hard to quantify how much of their recent success is really down to Southgate.

It just seems like lazy punditry to not reflect on that there are a huge number of shared circumstances between UK managers and that sometimes managers will become successful just because they are given the right opportunity while others will miss out on success because they aren't trusted with anything but the wrong opportunities.
