Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is yet to pull the trigger on manager Tim Sherwood.

The London Evening Standard says sections of the away support turned on Sherwood during the closing stages of yesterday's 4-0 thumping at Liverpool, questioning why the head coach had chosen to spend most of the game in the stands, rather than in the dug-out with the rest of his coaching team.

Sherwood was motionless for much of the game as he sat two rows behind Levy. Rumours last night that Sherwood had been dismissed after the game were wide of the mark, and the pair are thought to have spoken most recently last week, when Sherwood informed his chairman of his summer transfer targets if he is retained as manager.

After the debacle at Anfield, players and staff stayed in the dressing room for almost an hour, where frank views were exchanged on the team's inability to compete in most matches against the current top four this season.
