Lambert's replacement

[Toronto Villa]

This is quite interesting.

Now, you can't really have issues with the way he talks and the stuff he is saying. I like this honesty.
But, this is from a bloke a who has been a manager for 5 minutes, and comes across as knob head arrogance.

Is that a bad thing or not?  Bloody hell, I'm torn.

that's the video I had up earlier andy and I came away with the same thoughts. I think partly because Lambert ended up being such a bullshitter about just about everything that to hear that level of bluntness is almost refreshing. The flip side is, what kind of shelf life does that style of management have if your name isn't Mourinho and you've got a few European cups in your cabinet?

We'll he's not getting the fanfare that greeted Lambert on here,
 more like the abject misery that we served up for TSM

A lot of people thought the same when JG took over, he had done well but struggled in earlier managerial roles. His immediate impact was nothing short of phenomenal......

[pauliewalnuts]

There has to have been more than Sherwood and fucking Soil Campbell that wanted the job. I really hope they know what they are doing if he is the man they hire.

But there's the problem - how attractive is the job at Aston Villa right now? The club's for sale by a uninterested owner, in the bottom three and with a squad that cannot be added to. While it's far from certain that the club will be in the Premier League next season, I think lots of good coaches will steer clear.

I think you're right, a lot will.

The problem i have is the suggestion that Sherwood is in any way qualified to keep us up, let alone manage us after that. I can't see anything that suggests he's going to be up to the first part of the job.

I was convinced we were going down until we got shot of Lambert. That, coming so late, leaves us a slim chance, but I honestly think right now, where we are, appointing Sherwood would be utterly brainless, and seal our fate.

We weren't 18th with 13 games left to get us out of the shit when Gregory took over, and we'd finished 5th and 4th the two previous seasons. Totally different scenario.

Totally agree TV....tell you what,  I'm glad we ain't picking the next bloke, but bloody hell, he'd better be good, eh ?

Yeah, I think I'm with you on this. I suppose it will just be pure hope that he can motivate the squad enough to get themselves out of trouble. I actually think he might, but that's just hope, too.

After that, I reckon he'll be pretty poor. But who else is there?

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

I don't know whether it is idiotic, but it doesn't appear well thought through. He's available and is somewhat known to them seems to have been the overwhelming criteria. But I would sooner they took a few extra days, all of next week if needed to fly around or fly in other possible candidates. There has to have been more than Sherwood and fucking Soil Campbell that wanted the job. I really hope they know what they are doing if he is the man they hire.

It's what I think we should all cling to also TV.
Sherwood maybe being mentioned in the media and touted by the bookies, but perhaps that's because he's only one of a number they are looking at, but the one that is easy for audiences to recognise/link to.

I'd love Tom Fox to call a press conference next week and announce....someone we can all have belief in (unlikely to be Mr T Sherwood) - has been appointed the new Aston Villa manager.
We have to have confidence in Fox and co to make the right choice.

UTV!

Have a read of this, as posted earlier.

Seriously, he sounds shocking.

They weren't far off 18th.....

If it becomes about who we can get now, I would leave Marshall and Marshall in charge till the end of the season, let alone choose other managers.

You mention motivating the squad, surely Sherwood's short spell at Spurs is mostly remembered for doing the absolute opposite.

[mrastonvilla]

The supporters trust meeting with Tom Fox next week is going to be cracking. Do you think the new manager will be in by then?

I know, I know. I'm just choosing to hope that they are just slightly cross, unrealistic Spurs fans.

But I think they're probably right.

14th and 8 points clear of the relegation zone.

Is it? Maybe. I just remember him having a pop at the team and then them winning a bunch of games.
