Lambert's replacement

[pauliewalnuts]

I keep reminding myself that if offered the swap on Tuesday night I would have jumped at it.

But Lambert is gone now.

Sherwood would be an utterly nuts appointment, even by the low standards of Randy's managerial choices.

I honestly don't get this "better than Lambert" thing we keep hearing (don't mean from you).

We've seen Lambert has been a piss poor manager for us. It is therefore possible to be a lot better than Lambert and still not good enough, so hugely did he fail.

We need to appoint the best man we can for the club, not just someone on the basis of not being Lambert.

Who is that (realistic) best man then?

It seems to be based off something Collymore said.

Where is he meant to have said it?

Hopefully someone from lots of choices, interviews etc, not just from sounding one guy out and letting him watch a few games.

Not sure if it was Twitter or Talksport. I can't see it happening this early, as that would imply the sacking was planned.

And Duncan Castles of the Times has said that it looks like it's Sherwood's to turn down, but who knows what that's based on. He's also said 'more fool Randy Lerner', which is true. Tim Sherwood is, I have to say, probably the worst of all of the options apparently available to us, including Hoddle, Curbishley and Daffy bleedin' Duck.

Exactly right.  When I read 'Southgate is better than Lambert' I think well maybe he is but there are also a fuck of a lot of people better than Southgate.  Or Sherwood, or Curbishley, or Hoddle, or Howe, or Dyche, etc etc

Twitter seems to think it is Sherwood? Something happened while I was out for an hour?

If it is, I really hope there is more than just him.

1/20 sky bet

Probably his mum had big bet on him

I agree. Just trying to rationalise it in my head Paulie.

I would feel much better if he comes in with an experienced number 2 that has a track record on the coaching side.

23 points from his first 10 games at Spurs must be an appealing impact. Got 15 from 10 here it would leave us on 37 with 3 to play, which we would all bite your hands off for.

Just on 5Live that AVFC will announce the new manager next week.

I'm adding that to the Twitter Sherwood thing and arriving at 3,489.

ffs, I hope it's not.

[Rigadon]

Sherwood would be utterly uninspiring. 

[mrastonvilla]

Sherwood has disaster written all over it. Even his wonderful win ratio at Spurs that everyone keeps banging on about is worse than AVB and pochettino. I really hope this isn't true

[Monty]

He had better players at Spurs.

Honestly, I think there's a strong chance he'd be a disaster, and even if he kept us up on some wave of adrenaline that would just be a delay in the disaster. One of the Spurs fans in the article I posted earlier described him as 'aggressively and proudly ignorant' of football tactics. That scares me a bit, to be honest.

It's Twatter.
