It's not Sherwood!

[Toronto Villa]

Seems an eternity ago but it really is utterly remarkable to consider the high of that semi final to the lows we are all feeling now.

People seem to only remember rabble rousing Sherwood and not that he was a pale shadow of that bloke in his last few weeks here.
In fact, he was pretty much flattened from Leicester onwards. What do people think would have happened for him to turn back into the bloke that took us to Wembley, and stop being the one that he started to turn into after Southampton.

Practically every manager since O'Neill has looked a quivering wreck in the latter part of their Villa careers.

It's accelerating. From years to months to weeks.

We've always been a manager career killer. SGT aside, not a single Villa manager had gone on to bigger and better things after managing the Villa.

How many bigger and better jobs are there?

3/4? And if you get it right, maybe even less.

That bloke was a one off. He still talks more sense than most managers and pundits do.

I can name two.

True.  Spurs, Newcastle and West Ham probably think the same thing. 
I can only think of Moyes who has left a comparable sized club and moved upwards.

Joe Mercer didn't too bad after leaving.

3 or 4?! Behave. Are you seriously suggesting there are only 3 or 4 bigger clubs in world football?  These days there are that many in the North West of England!

SGT bombed after Villa for Engand. Villa is the graveyard of the ambitious manager. I think giving Hughes the cold shoulder after TSM was a big mistake for us. He's survived graveyard jobs and his stock continues to

Sorry but that's delusional. There are loads of bigger jobs just go through the Champiosn league and Europa league teams for a start. Should get to 50 pretty quickly.

Any decent manager won't touch us with a 10 foot barge pole until Randy has gone and a new owner with cash is in place.

It really is that simple.  So I fully expect Garde to go and be replaced by;

A) Cowans in a caretaker role if he goes before the end of the season

B) Pearson if he makes it to seasons end, Pearson is cheap, desperate enough to apply and can talk a decent game - and that's all it'll need with these numpties in charge.
