Lambert's replacement

[rob_bridge]

I was genuinely excited by the 4 appointments 1987-98. 3 of them did well - the other was worth a punt at the time.

Can't say that about the last 5 years though Lambert was certainly worth a punt at the time.

I have to suggest Neil Warnock has a better bet for short term option. Like a lottery win for the man. Respectful of clubs history. But of course if goals are the agenda .... We all want Keegan . love it !
But asides from Warnock others would cost or are less experienced. The question is do fans want someone who knows villa and has that connection or a tried manager or a calculated gamble ...?

The choice of coach is equally important as the manager.  We need a proven managerial team.

I'm learning everyday. But Warnock has enthusiasm and experience he ll appreciate the task at hand and is a football man. He ll require the boys to give a good go. Just saying. Cheers

Unfortunately, he's an embarrassing moron of the type usually found in the lower leagues.

Warnock has been a failure at this level. So your recommendation, assuming for a split second you are being serious, is ill founded and frankly speaking, preposterous.

warnock is one of a small number of options who would be a step down from where we are.

I'm sorry, one thing is for certain - the moment we appoint Neil Warnock as manager is the moment we lose our status as a top tier football club. It's that simple.

Tim Sherwood does sound like an unimaginative appointment: great on motivation, not so great on tactics. Depressingly, he seems to be the favourite.

I would hope Tom Fox reads this before thinking about Sherwood:

That's really terrifying.

Nasty, isn't it.

Please remove my earlier comment about not being against his appointment.

Warnock? Fuck me. Your track record of players and managerial suggestions truly is horrific. Warnock is tried and proven utterly shit manager at the PL level.

At the moment we are *still* a bloody nice ship without a rudder. If we appoint Neil Warnock it is the admission of defeat by the club that we are now a 2nd tier, Championship/'Staying Up' side. It just cannot happen!

But it says his brand of football is "perversely watchable".  At this point I can only see the watchable part.  Think about it.  Watchable.

Who the hell is Raj Bains anyway? Maybe Tim nicked his girlfriend or something irrelevant. (BTW, I do not think that Villa should appoint Sherwood in any event.)

Sherwood is a car crash.  Avoid.
