Andre-Villas Boas may have been binned as Tottenham boss earlier this week – but the club programme suggests he’s still clinging to his post.

For ahead of Wednesday night’s League Cup quarter-final with West Ham, the matchday read listed the Portuguese as Spurs’ head coach.

It was caretaker boss Tim Sherwood who took charge of the side but he was omitted from the back cover.

Sherwood, though, could find his name a permanent fixture if the bookies are to be believed, Coral quote him as the 5/2 favourite for the vacancy.

Villas-Boas was sacked on Monday in the wake of Spurs’ 5-0 humiliation at home to Liverpool on Sunday.

Because they’re printed well before the game

If you have been to a game lately, the back of a programme lists all players according to their number, its not the starting linup that is added anymore. Also, with it only being Monday that he was Sacked, the programmes were probably already in production. Another DM non story

It is correct. Have any of you been to a game lately. I went tonight and have the programme. It is correct. It doesnt really matter but it is right for a change.

Better hang onto them, misprinted programmes are always worth more. Then again the desirability goes down when they realise it’s a t*ttenham programme…
