Lambert's replacement

[JUAN PABLO]

Curbs is moving up in the betting

Maybe Sherwood and curbs DOF

How about Hitler and the Sheriff of Nottingham?

Now you come to think of it

[Ian.]

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,

He was quite willing to chuck Spurs' players under the bus after a loss, imagine the same with our lot, now, in the situation we're in.

Well the way we have played lately maybe hopefully he will carry out the threat!


Just joking :/

I don't think there is any issue with us getting behind whoever is appointed.

If McLeish had won every game 1-0 and won the PL I'd have loved him forever. Whoever our manager is we want them to be successful for obvious reasons.

However, after too many weird (hasty?) appointments, surely we can expect those at the top to take a very careful, considered view of our situation/potential/ambition (more than ever before!) as declared by Fox recently.

I'm trying to forget about the Sherwood link until THE/ANY appointment is actually made. I hope it's not him. I hope it's someone with more experience, nous and kudos - befitting the great club that I've heard so many reputable voices refer to on the radio today.

We need to see a statement of intent in the appointment.
Someone to give credibility, hope and ambition.

UTV!

What's happened to martin dastardly jol ?

Muttley, do something!

[silhillvilla]

If it's Sherwood I will be gutted but will still get behind them all again .

[Holte L2]

Hopefully Sherwood is one of a number of candidates they are talking too?  ala Solskjaer.

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.

Steve, if its him then I hope you're right mate.  There's no evidence though.  No track record.  That team needs motivating, but also organising. 

I agree not much of a track record Rigadon but I just have a feeling about him and if he gets the job we have all got to put our feelings to one side and get behind him, after all this it will probably be someone else who will also upset everybody.

[mr woo]

Sherwood?  God I hope not.


I didn't want him before I read all the dreadful character assassinations based on his management 'career' of half a season, and I certainly don't want him now.

I hoped that Fox, being an Arsenal fan would have been aware of the negative aura surrounding this pompous little twat, and I'd assumed he had the intelligence to steer well clear.

I hope its all rumours, I really do, because I see a team in freefall, who are low on confidence and in desperate need of structure and organisation. The thought of them now being taken over by an egotistical inexperienced barrow boy will end in utter disaster.... and probable relegation.





And don't even get me started on his Spurs links.

[frank black]

Keep us up and keep us ticking over with a meagre budget until I can sell the club.

How does that sound Mr Klinsman? Just sign here.

I see Sherwood as a reasonable appointment given the circumstances. A bit Gregory like, so could work in the short term, until we sell up and hopefully move up the football pecking order.

[OzVilla]

Tim Sherwood's appeal must be seriously dulled by the fact that his No 2 has gone to QPR.

Id have thought the last thing we need is an inexperienced manager with a No2 he's never worked with. 

We need experience, authority and organization to see us through. Just in the short term.

[PeterWithe]

We can all rest easy, Sol Campbell wants the job.

[andyh]

There seems to be an awful lot of really negative stuff about sherwood.
I don't mean on here, I mean elsewhere.
Egotistical.
Manic.
Self serving.
A little bit deluded.

I have a feeling that firstly, being a cockerny, he won't travel well.
Secondly, we'll be wishing for a new manager within 12 months.

But, who knows eh?

[Steve kirk]

Some of you lot are unreal, absolutely unreal

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

Do you?  I have no idea what the post means.

Uber is hinting that the massive over reaction to the possible appointment of Sherwood (Beelzebub) is maybe a little bit over the top

100% agree.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Well, imagine writing a manager off before he's actually agreed to take the job. Who on earth were you all expecting. A lot of the names on here have made me laugh out loud. What year do you think this is 1994?

Get real

Most of us still think that the club we support deserves the best we can get.
You can hardly consider Sherwood a "manager" - he looked after Spuds for about 20 games.
Has he agreed to take the job?
Then it's not an issue...it's an opinion based on the prospect of a disappointing appointment.
You've clearly made your mind up that he's already got the job and everyone else on here is wrong.
