And with that I think our esteemed fanzine editor has nailed his Sherwood Out colours to the mast.
And I fully agree.

one of your best, how depressing it is to read the demise of the club described so acurately.

Nailed. I hope Fox agrees too. That line up was terrible and everyone knew it.

Yes. Needs to be moved on. We waited too long with Lambert. Another 6 games and we be 10 points off safety.

Those last three lines are the most damning of all, and I defy anyone to argue against them.

De-press-ingly familiar.

That piece should be framed and put, no, nail gunned with masonry nails, to the wall of the office of the Villa CEO and remain there like our cartoon alter ego Guy Fawkes' head on a spike.

After the Mcliesh and Lambert years you think it has to get better , sure you lose some of our best players but we spent a significant amount and yet Sherwood with every game is making the previous 2 managers look more and more competent !

When you're completely incompetent, you will make the vaguely competent look good.

Excellent summing up. He needs to go for his own sake as much as anyone else's.

One of your best Dave. The pity is Sherwood has bought some good players,just as Lambert did,but he appears to have very little idea how to forge them into a competent unit. In fact he has no idea at all.

Rodgers and Advocaat lost their jobs yesterday. They say things come in 3s. Fingers and everything else crossed.

By the way I see that Rodgers had a 50% win ratio at Liverpool, and 41% at both Watford and Swansea. A win ratio we can only dream of a Villa manager having!
