So now he's saying that he needs more control over transfers. Two things with that, for a start he's criticising the strategy at the club and also by insinuation he's blaming the new players for our failings. It's time to go Tim, the reason we're failing is you being unable to tactically set up your team. His inability to realise that he is wrong means he won't improve.

I know it's been a bad start and some of Sherwood's team selections and subs have probably even had the players scratching their heads, but some of the stuff i've read on here about him over the past week is just so over the top. It's as if people are trying to outdo each other by trying to write some smart and witty put down.

Yes the judge jury and executioner is out and i agree most people have it in for him but he doesn't do himself any favours. I want him to be a success and prove us all wrong but i just cant see him do it.

Absolutely. There's been times this season we've looked at the team at 2.00pm and spent the following 10 minutes trying to work out who's playing where. I want him to succeed but if he doesn't, then i'll wish the guy luck.

If it was up to him we'd probably have a first 11 now with Huddlestone, Vardy and Andros Townsend, those links came from somewhere. I'll leave you to decide how much better off we'd be, not much I suspect.

Gestede does seem like his pick though.

I'm baffled by his treatment of Gil, the West Brom game he was the only player who looked like he could create anything and was the one player who wasn't crap, since then he's barely played him. I think most of the new signings look like they could be very good for the club but if Sherwood is already distancing himself from them we are in big trouble.

From the BBC Football Gossip page

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood wants a greater say in transfers after head of recruitment Paddy Reilly and sporting director Hendrik Almstadt recommended deals in the summer. (Daily Mirror)
And yet, we were told, IIRC, that the three of them would work together to agree the best approach to strategy and recruitment.
Can't have it both ways, Tim.

Sherwood will have approved the purchase of every player brought in, whether he found them or scouted them.

He did say that the final say on incomings and outgoings was his.

He also said that we wouldn't be in a relegation fight this season at the end of last season!

I'm sure that was just setting it up so he could take credit for them if they worked out.

I'm sure that it's actually true. I certainly hope it is. Whatever his shortcomings are as a manager, what's the point of people spending the club's money on players that the manger doesn't want to use?

I did quick google search for Tim Sherwood's appointment news and it end in Summer 2018. Nothing on his salary or anything. So I don't think it will be too expensive to fire him.

Does that mean we wont have to sell someone to fund his sacking then?
