Lambert's replacement

[passport1]

Randy has become a master of bad appointments .

Lambert wasn't a bad appointment at the time.

One season managing in the Premiership hardly constitutes a track record. Mind you we are now talking to a guy with a 28 game track record. Hey ho.

[VillaAlways]

I can think of other's who I'd prefer but at the end of the day, we're making a change which everyone wanted. You can't email the likes of Tom Fox demanding Lambert be sacked then moan about who they bring in (unless it's someone really desperate) and I wouldn't class Sherwood as a desperate appointment anyway. It's a gamble more than anything bearing in mind our position, but I'm happier than I was Tuesday.

I would say he would be the epitome of a desperate appointment to be honest. 

If that's the case Why were other premier league considering him? He only didn't go to QPR because of personal terms.

QPR are in effect a championship club though.
We are aston villa , one of the top 25 clubs in the world.

[Villafirst]

I wonder if they've considered an approach for Allardyce? To me, he's the kind of experience we need.

Is that a Delloite list ranking?

Top 25? Top 1 - as B Clough may have said. And as, I hope, Sir Brian may say too.

[JUAN PABLO]

Off thread but I saw a thing if Bournemouth come up they will be in the top 20 clubs in the financial league in Europe.


Wtf

Yes . Think we were 22nd

He's also one of the top paid in the world

@patmurphybbc: No sign of Tim Sherwood's Sat column in @Independent  today.Keeping his head down? His collaborator @SamWallaceIndy says he's keen on #avfc

Personally I thought it was . It was always a job too big for lambert and his team.

Who would you want out of interest?

Klinsman, Rijkaard , de boer , Capello, Benitez , Ranieri . All non starters .
Out of those who are realistic I've no idea who would come , so far I've seen the likes of Lennon , southgate and Grant rule themselves out. If it's Sherwood so be it, let's get it done sooner rather than later and get to work .

So you can't think of anyone then? You've gone from Sherwood being a 'bad appointment' to saying 'let's get it done' in the space of half hour.

Wtf

If they haven't had a massive outlay on players and Premier League TV money making crowd money nearly irrelevant, then it kinda makes sense.

No I didn't . I said "if" that's who they are solely focused on, expedite it ASAP.

[silhillvilla]

And btw I named 6 targets .

[KevinGage]

How about we go for neither and just make a sensible appointment based on the immediate challenge and what this team needs?

Just wondering whether the Villa hierarchy actually have a plan based on our requirement other than see who The Sun say will get the job. 

Can anyone actually provide a case for Tim Sherwood?

Even if we ignore the good results he had in charge at Tottingham (which is odd, but that's what a few are advocating) he was a coach at the club for five years prior to that.

We know only too well how dismal a side can look when it isn't coached properly. If six months in the top job isn't long enough to measure his aptitude, he must deserve at least some credit for their progress between 2008-2013.
