It's not Sherwood!

[curiousorange]

The same Amavi that most on here have said has massive potential and don't think we'll be able to keep him? Hutton would get into other PL sides as well, and as much as he isn't rated on here so would Westwood.

He has gone backwards,i guess his confidence is shot.

More like, what the fuck am I doing here?

To come to the Premier League and see the shit surrounding them must be pretty disheartening. In my opinion Amavi could've gone a tier higher and been fine.. Spurs, Liverpool, Southampton etc.

Ryan Bertrand being a prime example. Ace debut, got the Villa virus, shook it off and now he's a regular at international level.

Thats rubbish.

If he was any good he would rise about the shite around him. Personally, i think he is decent and better than Richardson (and that hair) on any day of the week

He really can't help himself can he?
Sherwood is inspired by Pardew

Completely missing the points that
1. Pardew was getting dogs abuse when Newcastle were 10th, not 19th.
2. The new found respect for Pardew is based on his results at a different club.
3. If you think you've been on the receiving end of some criticism so far, you'd better get a result on Saturday or find out what it's really like when Villa Park decides that enough is enough. Give McLeish a ring to find out what that's like.

Feel free to piss off to a club 10 places below us in the table if you want to, just like your mate Alan did. I'm not sure Sheffield Wednesday will be interested mind.

[Sexual Ealing]

Jesus. It also makes me think that he doesn't know what pragmatic means.

Tim Sherwood's job at risk if Aston Villa lose to Swansea - is David Moyes in line to replace him?

Defeat at Chelsea has left Villa with four points from nine games and another loss could spell end for Tim Sherwood, with David Moyes apparently interested in replacing him

 Tim Sherwood was about to address the question of whether Aston Villa’s summer recruitment policy had been a huge gamble, when the club’s press officer decided it was time to wrap up proceedings.

As Sherwood was whisked away, a journalist shouted: “He [the press officer] obviously doesn’t fancy that question.” Villa’s manager laughed and replied: “Yeah, write that.”

It may well be that Sherwood, who is among the most approachable of the Premier League’s ­managers, was sharing a joke but the impression remains that the club spent the money raised from the sales of Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph on players who are not ready for a relegation battle.

One presumes the jobs of ­sporting director Hendrik Almstadt and ­director of recruitment Paddy ­Reilly are not in jeopardy. But ­defeat at Chelsea left Villa with four points from nine games and another defeat at home against Swansea City could spell the end for Sherwood, with David Moyes apparently ­interested in replacing him.

“I’m trying to instill in the players not to be scared to lose,” Sherwood said. “If anyone should be scared to lose then it should be me, but I’m not. I want to go out on the front foot and if I die, I die on my sword.”

Of the summer signings who ­arrived from overseas, Sherwood only started with the midfielder Idrissa Gueye and forward Jordan Ayew against Chelsea, with the left‑back Jordan Amavi and the winger Adama Traoré making substitute appearances. “When you play for a big club like this, it’s a big step up because it’s very different from Ligue 1,” Sherwood said. “It’s very different in the Premier League. We brought Adama on and it wasn’t his day, but I’ve said before that he’s in development. He’s been playing in league two in Spain and it’s not the most competitive.”

Inexperience was not to blame for Villa’s downfall at Stamford Bridge, however, as the 31-year-old goalkeeper Brad Guzan miskicked towards Joleon Lescott, 33, who could not control the ball and Willian nipped in to set up Diego Costa for the opener. Sherwood’s assistant Ray Wilkins, 59, should have known better than to make such a show of enjoying his return to Chelsea.

 Ahead of kick-off, Wilkins made a beeline to greet familiar faces in the East Stand Lower of Stamford Bridge, where he had a season ­ticket, and frequently turned to joke with the Chelsea fans in ­between hugging Jose Mourinho on the touchline while the game was being played.

It was the wrong image to portray to the beleaguered Villa fans who want to see fight from the club’s management and players. The travelling support did sing Sherwood’s name, albeit only before their team were losing.

“Let’s get one thing straight: we are on the same side,” Sherwood said. “They [the fans] know that if anyone is going to be fighting for them then I think they would quite like to have me in their corner.”

[mr underhill]

Wilkins is a tit and Tim's deluded.

[Ron Manager]

Sherwood's now said he is bored watching the team play.wants them on the front foot.They keep passing it sideways.Seems like he is having a go at the players and Wilkins
Talk about Dead Man Walking.He's broken out into a sprint!

[Toronto Villa]

I'd like to present Sherwood with a shiny new sword.

[ozzjim]

His latest comments are the clearest indication of a man lost in the woods that you will ever see.

Present me with it.  I'll show him where to put it.

[VillaAlways]

Yet the board appear to want to wait till we inevitably lose to Swansea to sack him ,after all this shite he's come out with.

No other club would take this nonsense I just can't see anyone turning this round with the mentality of the club as it is

[silhillvilla]

Has he gone yet

[itbrvilla]

I agree with the Villa diseases comment. We are rotten and festering. We fucking stink.

[rob_bridge]

Get rid of him. Keep Wilkins. Re-recruit Houllier. Him and Butch can use Villa as an avenue to worship former their former sweethearts.

He needs to go. Frankly, he is a fucking garrulous micro fuckwit. An embarrassing dimwit.

Fuck off now. Lambert stayed so long because the board had made utter hashes of managerial recruitments. Just add Timbo to the list and move on. We can add him to the mix of terrible appointments. We 're used to it. Try again, sooner or later we may get one right. Even Doug got 3 right, possibly 4 if you count O'Neill at the time.
