Lambert's replacement

[hilts_coolerking]

If it is to be Sherwood when there are plenty of better options around then it suggests to me that whoever is making the decision they haven't put much thought into it.

Keane has more votes than Sherwood on the Guardian poll, that's worrying.

On Wednesday night anybody but Lambert was fine so that must have included Sherwood, now there are rumours that he may or may not be appointed and there are so many posters kicking the shit out of him, I just dont get it, if he takes over give the bloke a chance, what the fuck did he do in half a season at Spurs to be described as hilariously incompetent or utterly uninspiring, please explain.

Whenever I think of Tim Sherwood I see that nauseating salute he swapped with Adeboyour at Spuds.

Also worked once with a bloke who knew him in Watford where he's from. Said he was the most arrogant, up his own arse tosser you'd ever meet.

Must have good mates in the press to be constantly touted for the jobs he does.

The fact he was pictured with Fox at 2 separate home games a few weeks back, and pictured at a 3rd on twitter during a game, it is pretty obvious there was a good chance he would be their first choice. He has been just as reluctant to take a couple of the jobs he has been linked with too. It is a massive call from Fox, and Percy in the Telegraph talks of Villa being happy to put him with a new coaching team, which I know I keep saying it, but it is vital.

If its till the summer I wouldn't mind .

Sounds like the Ramsay guy is a good coach and he would have come with Sherwood , so no idea who his staff would be .

Laursen id be happy as his assistant.

How can you stick two strangers together and get a coherent working relationship going in a couple of weeks? Impossible.

Fergie and Solskjaer on the other hand

If he brings MON for 13 games I'd take it short term .
Complete the circle and close the chapter

I'd prefer Lambert than sherwood on a three year deal.

That's my primary concern. Why the rush? Yes, we are in a spot of bother but it isn't late March. We still have time between now and Stoke to make a more informed decision. We have all been commenting about Sherwood being at VP, and that surely the board wouldn't be so brazen as to essentially, as it will appear, parade the new manager while the old one sat in the dugout. That would be poor form to suggest he was being tapped up all along.

If it's Sherwood then it's not for me and just shows a lack of imagination once again.
