Lambert's replacement

Keep it civil or take a break from the site. Entirely your choice chaps.

BBC announce its Tim Sherwood!

Swansea hired Gary Monk who most had never heard of and most thought would fail. He hasn't so I don't know that they wouldn't hire someone like him. .

A misleading argument.

Monk was appointed because he was known very well, so the risk was reduced.

Pochettino was a big gamble for saints which paid off

The saints seem to be run much better than us at the moment from youth team, scouting up to first team and manager.

Fuck, it's happened!

Pochettino was a big gamble for saints which paid off

I agree.

But the key is not "paid off" but "big gamble".

[Ger Regan]

Bollocks.

[Sexual Ealing]

Please do. I'll leave you to your considered views. I'm sure there are plenty of other things out there to call 'fucking ridiculous' if you misunderstand them.

You did say that Villa would be letting the city of Birmingham down if they appoint him, which is a bit silly.

Maybe, but he thought that I meant because Sherwood is a cockney, which is nowhere near what I meant.

Fair enough.

Three-and-a-half year contract.

[nodge]

On the website too.

Pat Murphy just announced Sherwood has been appointed.

 

[curiousorange]

All academic now. Just when you think our owners couldn't make any more ridiculous decisions, they go and hire this spanner.

[citizenDJ]

Blimey, it's Sherwood.

Well, there it is. An unbelievably quick decision, and you can't help but think what could have been with a little more patience and a wider-reaching search.

Oh well, here we go! Good luck, Tim!

[Boz]

Another three year appointment, don't they ever learn.

[garyfouroaks]

Fuck

If we start acting in a manner that appears to be subservient to the so called London mafia (however I am not sure that is the case)   and end up appointing a man who has no pedigree, experience, stature  or character and considered not good enough by a club smaller than us than we are bringing disrespect to the City of Birmingham and the the Club that is Aston Villa. We should have more ambition and appoint the best possible man available/getable.
