It's not Sherwood!

Richards should be on two. We'd be four points better off from his sitters.

The one against Stoke especially.

An interesting angle, looks like Tim has friends in the media. Puts forward some good points. Regardless, Lerner and Fox will not want to lose out on the financial gains of staying in the PL, so unless results start putting points on the board, it looks like it is the start of the end game for Tim. The media know it's happening, so do we.

"At Villa, this summer’s policy of buying almost exclusively young players with the emphasis on potential has so far left them 18th with four points from eight games".

Gestede - 27
Richards - 27
Sinclair - 26
Bunn - 30
Gana - 26
Amavi - 21
Ayew - 24
Crespo - 28
Veretout - 22
Traore - 19
Lescott - 33

It's hardly a bunch of untested youth is it 

It's not that the players are bad, they're the best bunch overall we've had in years. It's that the manager cannot organise them in anything like a coherant system.

Exactly Paul. Nothing wrong with the players Sherwood or the committee have brought in they all show different levels of promise. But Sherwood/Wilkins have totally failed to make a team of them. We should be at least halfway at this stage.

Which you could argue why sacking the bloke is a tad early.

Not really, if opposition teams hadn't missed sitters we could've lost to Bournemouth and been knocked out of the cup by Small Heath.

Didn't happen though, so irrelevant.

What has happened is a ridiculously bad start which looks likely to lead to relegation unless we sack the man that thought we should play for a draw at home to fucking Stoke.

Why do we assume Moyes would give up life in Spain to manage the poisoned chalice that is Aston Villa?

I guess the fact that Sociadad have only won one game this season and just goal difference from the bottom three does make him eminently suitable though.

It worries me that in a league where apart from the top 3/4 teams is pretty average that Moyes is where he is - hardly inspiring is it if he was next in line

My issue is that we are getting worse. That's what worries me, the performance against Stoke was desperate.

[holte hero]

Krulak is right! he has one game, he will be gone by Saturday evening please!

Defoe was clean through too.

It could be argued that it's as strong if not stronger than the Premier League.

Conservative, functional and predictable

Oh and it's terrifying great to hear Fergie giving his approval this week. No doubt that will seal the deal. That and the fact that Moyes fits into the same mold as MON, TSM, TSM II. Not that I see Moyes leaving Spain to join us. They'll have to sack him as he seems very happy there and out to prove a point that he can bore fans in any country.

It is not. Outside the top 3 clubs the quality is poor. More often in the EPL teams at the bottom will give the tops clubs a run for their money. I watched Real Mallorca a few times when they were in the top flight, it was awful.

I thought Spanish sides outside of the obvious two had a decent record in European competition the last few years? Certainly better than the likes of Tottenham, Man City, Everton, Arsenal etc.

One measure but I think their best teams are better than ours. And their rest of teams are comparable if not slightly better.
