Tottenham boss Sherwood denies Blackburn feud with Hodgson

Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood insists there's no feud with England coach Roy Hodgson.

Hodgson, 15 years ago, blamed Sherwood for his demise at Blackburn Rovers.

"(Sherwood) became very disenchanted with the club and everything around the place when he thought the proposed move to Tottenham had fallen through," Hodgson told Sky Sports after being sacked as Rovers boss in November 1998.

"His discontent spread to a lot of other players. These people did not have the strength of character or personality to stand up against somebody who was finding fault with most things.

"I don't think anybody should come in to a club and for their own selfish reasons start saying that certain players should stay or go."

Sherwood insists it's all water under the bridge now.

"What problem?" Sherwood said when asked about his run-in with Hodgson in the past.

"Brian Kidd (was the one who) sold me (to Tottenham). I don't have a problem with Roy, no problem at all. I spoke to him the other day."
