Lambert's replacement

[tomd2103]

Can't believe how appealing the prospect of Sherwood now looks.

I still can't see the case for Sherwood.  Didn't exactly do a great job at Spurs with a very good squad to choose from.  Personally think he will end up being like another Phil Brown.

I'd like Glenn Hoddle

Has Pat Murphy been on the Radio to tell us what he understands yet?

Ha ha

You know, we mist a trick when Pullis was on the market.

He's no football purist ( is he?? ) but can manage a team on a budget of SFA and I think he can attract players as well as get the most out of those he has in his squad.

We need a motivator more than anything - mumble mumble mumble.

I have been shot down more than once for throwing Pulis' name into the mix.

[Hairbandinho]

Should have got Pulis

Paolo Di Canio! He kept Sunderland up around this stage of the season two years ago.













No, I am joking. I'd take Sherwood though (don't know how good he is but I'm desperate).

I said on another thread
I would try for Sir graham put him in till the end of the season

Reasons-
He knows the club it's ethos it's traditions and the way it all works
He good at getting the best out of not a lot
Although his last period with us didn't end well he would only be tempory, and he could then help us get someone in long term for next season
He loves the Villa and would jump at the chance to help us out in our time of need, I'm convinced he would
I think he would get enough from this squad to keep us up
He is a great bloke and I love him

So there's my reasoning that's what I would do

[cdbearsfan]

Appointing someone because (i) they used to be good at managing about ten-twenty years ago or (ii) they're a club "legend" is likely to end in tears.

For examples, see (i) Newcastle United or (ii)... Newcastle United.

Sherwood for me. It needs someone with character and guts, and watching his Spurs side last season they went out and really went for it, which is a lot of what we need.

Let's get Sven

Sir Graham is too out of touch with Football these days I imagine.

Yeah but they have a lot of better players than us. Even Lambert would probably manage more than one goal a month there.

Lennon's not a bad shout.

[N'ZMAV]

the Sven comment was a joke. He's had his day.

[Yossarian]

Real's number two or dare I say it, Rowett.

I wouldn't personally. He shouldn't have come back the second time and even though he did, all he got was abuse even when he had the decency to apologise for the poor season.

I think there is a massive difference between Taylor's managerial career and Shearers, plus the fact it would be for 10-15 games only,
I reckon he would still be good enough to keep us up
