Tim Sherwood embarrassed as Swindon crash out FA Cup to non-league Eastleigh
TIM SHERWOOD seems to have invented a new role at Swindon, merging the roles of director of football and manager together.
Tim Sherwood was on the bench for Swindon's FA Cup clash with Eastleigh
The former Aston Villa boss, recently installed as Swindon's director of football, was on the bench for tonight's FA Cup clash with Eastleigh.
He seemed to take a firm hold of the managerial duties and left boss Luke Williams feeling a bit redundant.
Following The Robins’ 3-0 victory against Charlton on Saturday, Williams said he was happy for the sherwood to help out in the dugout.
However, the ex-Tottenham midfielder couldn't work his magic from the technical area and saw his side crash out 3-1 to non-league Eastleigh in the FA Cup.
What on earth is going on at Swindon.. Director of Football Tim Sherwood has come from the stands and taken over managerial duties.. #FACup

It took Tim Sherwood 1 game as director of football to undermine the manager at Swindon but he's English and a triffic lad so it's okay

The non-league side stunned Swindon after just 15 minutes with Jai Reason's deflected strike seting Eastleigh on their way.
Andy Drury's classy dinked finish doubled the away side's lead ten minutes before half-time.
Forgot how beautiful the wild world of Tim Sherwood could be, when he's not involved at your club, like

Swindon1-3 Eastleigh
And Mikael Mandron's penalty put the win beyond any doubt after 75 minutes.
Eastleigh, who are ninth in the National League, will host FC Halifax in the second round.
