Lambert's replacement

[Stu]

As a long term option it's not good. As a short term option it could go either way. He has a good start like he did at Spurs, and get 2-3 players firing, then we could stay up. My gut tells me we'll go down.

Ultimately, unless he's got a decent number 2, then I would envision another season of struggle next year.

But honestly...what other options are out there and actually viable? It looks like a choice of one.

His 'number two' is managing QPR.

Tim sherwood, manager for the sum total of 22 games!

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Stop fretting folks.
It's just somebody having a larf!

Please let it be somebody just having a larf!

Has Tom Fox gone right to the top to seek advice?
Someone who knows The Villa? From the inside? Knows how Lerner thinks? Has a record for consistency in their appointments?


 
Paul Faulkner?
(getting his own back?)

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.

I didn't say anybody but Lambert.  He'd be uninspiring because he is massively untested at this level apart from a dozen games at fucking Spurs (who didn't rate him enough to give him an actual job).  We need experience to help us avoid being relegated. 

Rigadon he had 28 games and Levy has gone through an awful lot of managers, I take your point about experience but I just think his swagger and confidence might help to shake those players out of the cycle of shit they have been on for so long, wouldent have been my first choice but I think he might have it in him to save us,

It's funnier in a not so funny way in that only a few hours ago Scott Marshall in likely his one and only Villa press conference said how the club needed an experienced manager. Not a novice.

[peter w]

Curbishley would be a backwards step. He's too out of touch now , he doesn't even get TV work

How on earth do you know how in touch Curbishley keeps with football?

Silhillvilla is wrong as Curbishley was a regular pundit on espn/star sports until he went to Fulham. Not sure what he has doen since but i guess he would have gone back because he had been doing it for years.

[dave shelley]

Some of you lot are unreal, absolutely unreal

Meaning?

[clash city rocker]

Well if it is sherwood I hope he can work miracles as we are definitely in the last chance saloon as regards managerial appointments....

[Steve kirk]

Some of you lot are unreal, absolutely unreal

Uber others getting a bit defensive with you but I know what you mean

[Chipsticks]

To be honest if we appoint Sherwood I don't think things will change too much, I'll still be right behind whoever we appoint though.

[IAmTheOneIanOlney]

Sky Sports are also running a story saying we're interested in Klinsmann and only looking for a permanent manager.

[Toronto Villa]

I sincerely hope that if it is him that it is either a short term deal with an opportunity to extend. I have no issue with that if it is justified. Or that the board truly have in place a plan for structuring the club properly. However my concern is he'll sign a three year deal. I have no idea how we could justify that or be convinced that he's worth it based on such a small sample size of games at this level.

Swagger and confidence?

We have plenty of players with swagger and confidence as evidenced by the size of their earphones and the horse power of their cars.

What we don't have are players with a brain and Sherwood adds zero in the brain department.

What we have here is a clear case of corrosion of the collective cerebral cortex.

Foxy is rumoured to have a few functioning grey cells, so we must hope for the best.
