Tim Sherwood insists his planned return to the Tottenham dugout is nothing to do with the fans' irritation at him watching recent matches from the stands.
Sherwood has preferred to watch matches from the stands in recent weeks following his spat with Benfica coach Jorge Jesus last month, prompting the travelling support to chant "where is our manager?" during last week's 4-0 defeat at Liverpool.
The former midfielder has confirmed he will be back on the touchline for the Monday Night Football clash with Sunderland, although he has defended his decision to watch from up high.
"I'll be on the touchline on Monday - I'll be knocking out as many people as I can," he said.
"I've had a lot of time to prepare this week. If they don't know what it's all about this week, then they ain't going to know.
"When you're playing against Liverpool and teams like that, I feel there was a technical mismatch between the two teams.
"We have to try to worry about them and they might need some adjusting during the game - they certainly did after 20 minutes.
"There was nothing we could do to turn it around, unfortunately.
"I can learn more about my players sitting up top for the future than going down there to the touchline.
"I would've had to have no effect on that game. Against teams we've got left to play, the players know the script now.
"We will play the same way between now and the end of the season and it's up to them to try to entertain.
"I'll be there at the forefront with them and hopefully we can get a positive result together."
Tim Sherwood says even his friends and family fell for false punch claim on Twitter after Liverpool match
False rumours swept the social network that the Spurs boss had struck out at one of his players following the defeat at Liverpool
Tim Sherwood has revealed even his friends and family fell for last week’s false claim that he had punched one of his players at Liverpool.
Rumours swept the internet that the Spurs boss had been sacked after the untrue incident, started by a parody account on Twitter.
England winger Aaron Lennon, however, led a string of players who publicly backed Sherwood, dismissing the allegation as “B******s”.
“They have been great,” said the Tottenham chief, “I haven’t got a problem with the players.”
Speaking ahead of tonight’s clash against Sunderland, he smiled: “It was incredible the way that it gathered so much pace.
“I was getting family and friends texting me saying: ‘Why did you do it?’
“They didn’t say: ‘Did you??’ It was all ‘Who did you hit? Who did you hit?!’ I picked up the old dog and bone and replied: "Do what? Hit one of my own players in the boat race? Someone's having a giraffe mate. It's a load of cobblers. Someone is lying through their Hampstead Heath."
"I even got a message from the old trouble and strife and I had to put her right as well."
“But the players know I want the best for the club. And that helps them out because it means I want the best for them. I am not going to suffer fools though. That is the way I manage.”
The so-called “prank” was the latest attempt to paint the Spurs dressing room as a time-bomb under Sherwood who - in the eyes of many - cannot do anything right.
Following his public attack on his players after their Chelsea surrender last month, critics insisted that the best managers - only for Jose Mourinho to lay into his own players last week.
After losing his rag on too many occasions on the touchline during February and March, Sherwood decided to sit in the stands. When he did that, critics claimed he was too far away from the front line.
Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’
