Lambert's replacement

[ozzjim]

Depends who we bring in as number 2 doesn't it. The team around Sherwood will be more important than Sherwood himself.

And therein lies the rub.

His team are Ramsey- who won't bail out of QPR, and DOF Sir Les who is also there. Neither of whom I would want anywhere near Villa.

They were his team for 6 months at Spurs, but Ferdinand never strikes me as a coaching visionary. If Sherwood brought in a really top coach that we haven't heard of, then would people be happier about it? I just think we need to take stock, and give whoever gets it a chance to do it before deriding it as the worst appointment in the history of world football.

How on earth can Tim Sherwood command a big salary ?

I know it seems silly to say this but if we are just going to take a gamble on someone like Sherwood then we might as well have kept Lambert around to the end of the season.  A bit of fresh blood is the only postive I can see from bringing Sherwood in.  I will reserve judgement of course, but IMO it is totally the wrong apointment and even if he kept us up we would likely be right back in the same position next year.

Sounds promising.....

Oh, indeed. QPR get the brains whilst we get the arse.

It doesn't hide the fact Sherwood is an arse and probably the biggest chancer in football. Tactically clueless, gobshite, rode on the coat tails of Ramsey and tried to steal the glory. I could go on but what's the point.

I am far from dancing with joy at the prospect of Sherwood but how much of that do we know for a fact to be true?

[ACVilla]

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   

Nailed it!

Agreed.

There's a good chance of this so I'm hoping against hope Sherwood doesn't get a contract longer than 2 years.

I agree.

If we go down, at least we will know what type of manager we will need.

What about Guus Hiddink till the end of the season? He could win the Cup too!

Where did all that information come from?

[footyskillz]

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

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.

I would think its PR from sherwoods people to spin that way about not agreeing terms.
Also lets just see how well Ramsey does at QPR without Timmy ! Sherwood is no mug despite what people think.

As Ron Saunders might have said, "Do you really want to find out?"

I'm hoping we won't have to but when everybody tells you it's shit as it looks like shit, smells like shit, tastes like shit, don't be surprised that it is in fact, shit.

Anyone have a sneaky suspicion that they're going to do a post reveal before the Leicester game like they did with Delphs contract before Bournemouth?

Nope. Too early yet

You never know....no one thought Delph was staying....or Lambert was going

[Karl Bridges]

How about this as a possible scenario

With Sherwood attending a couple of games recently I think he was definitely up for the DoF role.  We are not looking at the traditional DoF role more looking after the academy & scouting which was what he did well at Spurs.

Maybe they've said to him we still want you for that job but how about seeing if you can dig us out of a hole by taking over until the summer and we go out and get someone else when we'll be in a better position. Here's £3m if you keep us up and the DoF role is yours.
