Which makes some sense to me. Point to prove? Thought he was the Premier League's most sought after manager?"One of the". It's quite clearly PR guff in any case. I think he has got a point to prove. It's only my opinion but I think he has ran his mouth a couple of times which has probably given people negative preconceptions about his ability. I think there is a good man manager and motivating coach in there which is exactly what we need. I don't think there is anyone who could disagree we have the talent and squad to stay up comfortably
I'm sure the fans will be behind the team, and if they're not it'll have nothing to do with me causing 'negative momentum'. My comments are really based on research I've done, which might themselves be unfounded but which I have good cause to believe are not.
Ron Saunders seemed a pretty uninspiring choice of Manager when he was recruited.That didn't turn out too bad though.I've just been out to get a body warmer as a token gesture of solidarity.
Quote from: Monty on February 14, 2015, 03:27:25 PMIt's likely I'd be underwhelmed by almost any appointment we could make, if I'm honest. However, I really think this is an extremely poor decision. We could well stay up still, the squad of players is good and often any change is refreshing enough to galvanise a team. In addition, Sherwood is certainly an ebullient character, and often down at the bottom what you need is a wave of emotion to carry you through.However, unless Sherwood has changed drastically in the last few months, I think the long-term will be extremely disappointing. The guy is very arrogant, and seemingly incapable of acknowledging that he's made any mistakes, preferring to blame the players 'lack of character' if he's made a catastrophic tactical fuck-up - and he makes plenty of those, as he's also, in the words of one Spurs fan, 'proudly and aggressively ignorant of the basics of football tactics'. Why do we keep appointing this kind of manager? Why always the thoughtless passion-mongers? Why do we see smaller clubs around us go for forward-thinking, tactically aware managers, often from abroad, and continue to appoint old-school British guys who don't even have a clue that they don't have a clue? It's really wearying.Thing is you can't predict the long term because there isn't enough of a body of work to know how this will turn out. We know he will at the very least make us "interesting" again, which we all hope means we will at least threaten the opposition goal more than once a month. I was so bored of everything Villa, so this at least makes me curious. I, like everyone who has severe doubts hopes above all else that he learns about balance and develops a sense of maturity. To be successful in the game long term requires a modicum of humility especially when you haven't achieved anything. Acting like Mourinho or Ferguson only works when they need to build you a new wing to your house for all the trophies. He'll be well served to have people around him that provide that balance.

Underwhelmed but not livid. Many on here saying they "hate" him. What has he done to get so many people's backs up???
