It's not Sherwood!

[ciggiesnbeer]

I am not even mad at him. The problems at our club go much deeper than the manager. Whatever "it" is we have caught it. We have the same stink about us that Sunderland, Newcastle , Forest et al have about them. Managers & players can come and go but the "it" remains the same.

Sherwood has a way to go yet. His mate Fox will have to admit to having made a big mistake first. Either way I can't see us letting either Smethwick or Small Heath - or both - sack our manager for us. Or at least I'd hope not.

Out of interest, in retrospect who would have taken Pulis over Sherwood if the chance had arisen last season?

Let's hope Sherwood is learning and can produce desired results. Having players do the double shifts Iin training . And not showing results on pitch Giving out statements about never being in th is situation 'relegation' battle again and always trying to talk a good game will only get you so far. I curious to know if he knows what his best line up is. If he can handle pressure when fans get on his back rather than just use his honest tag and talk his way out of it. I think there has been mention of tiny Tim being a chancer. Also a guy who thinks he's still playing and captain rather than a manager. The inexperienced manager lost out for palace , qpr wba and I think that says something. I hope he is able to develop the team and his managing ability but I somewhat fear a manager of big Sam ilk would be better served if results don't pick up. That said beating Birmingham and Liverpool both possible would see an upturn in forrtunes and can move on.

Liked him at first but now I think he's a bit of a twat

I was for it last spring. But it was on the basis that he would steady us before the 'takeover' then he could be replaced. You could see today that the Pulis way is ugly but it works and I'd rather that than the championship. It's too early too give up on Sherwood but he needs to get results quickly now. Last year his approach was to make us more direct and it worked enough to save us, after today I'm not sure what the plan is or what our best side is.

I'd have taken neither.

If Sherwood's going to be found out history tells us it'll be at Villa Park.

I'm wondering what Wilkins' role is in all of this. As a managerial rookie, TS needs advise and guidance...is Wilkins the right man to learn from and does he actually contribute anything?

[Salsa Party Animal]

We need someone with experience and have managed european club as well. So where is the next Arsene Wenger ? We need some who knows tactics, and make us play football properly.

Pay Klopp whatever he wants? Yep he'd never come here.

Indeed it has  broken better managers than he.

I genuinely think i'd take relegation over ever having that baseball cap wearing twat nozzle Pulis in charge of Aston Villa. His anti-football is just too hideous to watch every week. Considering we go on about where the goals will come from, the Bitters have scored 4 in 7, two of those against sides down to ten, or nine, men, plus a shot going wide that was deflected in today.

This might seem off topic but West Ham have scored 7 (and take 9 points) from Arsenal, Liverpool and City. We won't even muster 7 shots.
