I think it's important to remember, we really don't know too much about what went on behind closed doors. We probably never will, but in TS short reign in charge there were some real highlights. I wanted him to succeed because he came in, said the right things and gave me hope. We played well for a little golden spell, just with the way things panned out we ended up with a team with no personality, no character. Too much changed too quickly and he ended up not knowing who to play where.  That's not an indictment of the quality of the squad, more the fact that we were probably one midfield general off being lower middle table. The rest would have fallen into place.
He will learn from his mistakes and be a better manager but if things are as rotten behind the scenes as some say they are you can't blame him for trying to defend himself.
This fan site is not always a true reflection of the greater opinion and sometimes opinions snowball.
It was quite telling that even against Swansea the holte was singing his name, I think most would have preferred for him to succeed and be here for a few years.

mattjpa, I think its fair to say there was not that much anger at Sherwood from most fans. Just a tired recognition a manager appointment had gone wrong again.

I certainly am not going to deflect blame away from him though. he could hav ebene backed more I suppose but the players we bought this summer really are pretty good and TS had final say on each signing (as he told us) so really its on him.

I have no beef with him either, I just hope we can recover from the situation he has got us into.

I don't know about most, I'm pretty sure that everybody would have preferred for him to succeed.

It was just never going to happen in a million years.

As this thread was to discuss whether or not Sherwood should be sacked and he now has been, we might as well keep all the fallout chat to the other Sherwood thread.
