Tottenham officials insist they're backing manager Tim Sherwood.
Since Sherwood replaced the sacked Andre Villas-Boas shortly before Christmas, he has seen other managers linked with the job in the long term. Holland coach Louis van Gaal has done nothing to douse speculation that he will succeed Sherwood in the summer, while Ajax boss Frank De Boer revealed he was approached before Sherwood took over.
The London Evening Standard says Tottenham stress they have not approached any other manager since Sherwood took the job and have emphasised that the club's former development coach holds a contract until the end of next season.
