Lambert's replacement

[footyskillz]

Regards to Hoddle and Sherwood its a no as they arent on the best of terms. Warnock is a big fan of Sherwood and has publicly championed his cause for both Palace and QPR jobs. Do you wonder why the man is quiet this time around on Tims chances for Villa?? Could he be involved to?

If there's a God...no.

There's only one thing I can think of that'd be worse than giving the job to Tim bastard Sherwood.

And that's making Glenda sodding Hoddle his assistant.

The current day candidates with experience of successfully keeping clubs in the top flight are already in work, I am thinking Pulis and Big Sam but I doubt we have much chance of getting either of them, Hughes would probably keep us up but again very unlikely he would leave Stoke, this for me leaves candidates who have previous experience such as Curbishley who I think could do a good steady job but will be seen as dull and out of touch, at present we are not looking long term but at 13 games to somehow retain premiership status, we need someone to shake up the dressing room and make an immediate impact, Sherwood long term might well turn out turn out to be the useless cockney wanker many on here think he is but short term I believe he would keep us up, retreats to bunker with tin hat on.

As you mentioned Curbishley it is time I once again brought up 'Curbishley's Law'. This is the rule whereby whenever a Premier League managerial vacancy comes up he is always in the top ten of the betting. I am convinced this will be the case for the next ten years.

I've always liked Jol for some reason. I felt he got pinged at Spuds early to be honest.

Experienced, worked in Germany and Netherlands at Ajax and Hamburg so has managed big clubs. Would complement our squad of players.

Has a soft spot for us and most of all is available now.

What did you make of his experience at Fulham?  He fell away at Fulham and didnt win the league with Ajax if i'm right ?? And where is the soft spot hes a wba man

Sherwood is a proven leader as a captain of premier league winning team at least and will be enthused . However he can stil be thinking hes a player and cpatain rather than manager/coach. I think concerns are that he knew the spurs players. Nevetheless I think he is far more shrewd than Keane and has a far better temperament and  coaching ability. His similarity are the demands he ll put on the players.  Theres no way Tim Sherwood sides wont be attempting to be scoring goals and winning matches. Thats something we all want

[Gregorys Boy]

I don't want Sherwood for the reasons already mentioned.

But there are two ways of looking at this.  One is that any kind of half decent manager or coach (does Sherwood count as either? ) only really needs to bring a bit of life to the place for a few games, and chances are that would be enough to keep us up.   

The other is that he is totally the wrong sort of manager for us on both short and long term fronts.  He does not have the sort of experience of fighting the drop, and in the long term I don't think he has enough about him or experience to be able to stablised us even if we did stay up this season.  I don't want him as a stop gap manager, but I'd rather gamble on him in the short term than I would the long term.  In a way giving him a long term contract is a bit like a company giving a youngster a three year contract and allowing him to figure the job out as goes along. 

This is the draw back of leaving the Lambert sacking so late, and to do the sacking almost on the spare of the moment (which I think is what happened) and then to have no back up plan is just poor managment. It really is a bit of a shambles

[garyfouroaks]

I think he'd snowball us down to the Championship faster than Lambert had he stayed to be honest. I'd rather take the gamble on Sherwood.

I accept that Sherwood might save us, but he might not.

If we go down he has zero credentials to bring us up from the Champ, with numerous others better placed.

If Fernandes would not meet Sherwoods terms at QPR, nor Peace at WBA, Lerner is hardly going to roll over, is he?

He assembled a decent squad at Fulham, did alright for a couple of years before that poor run that led to his sacking - just like 99% of managers.

He went to Rotterdam in the Villa end one night in May 1982. Talks quite openly about it.

Tim Sherwood.

That appointment would be my absolute worst god damn nightmare. And it would show yet again that the people running our club have no fooking idea what they are doing. isnt it painfully obvious we need either an experienced, tenured man for the job, or a short term, tactical "keep us up" while we take our time to find the man to right the shop long term. It literally beggars belief to me that according to a poll in the BM, 64% of Villa fans think Sherwood would be a good appointment - based on what for christ sake? His resume is shorter than my 2 year olds, and for all the "he did well at Spurs" nonsense, that was frankly like inheriting a nice hot Sunday lunch as opposed inheriting the dogs dinner that is Villa right now.

Sherwood if appointed, will be a complete nightmare. It will show we have learnt nothing.

Dear Mr Lerner / Mr Fox - DONT DO IT

I know a Fulham scout very well, and he has little time for Jol and his general instruction when looking for players.

You wouldn't think so no?  But then maybe Sherwood eager to prove himself would come on the cheap I don't know.  All I know is that his appoitment would be a far bigger gamble for us than for him.  And your point about him not having the credentials to bring us back up is spot on and I just what I was thinking.
