New Back Room Staff

[dave.woodhall]

It may sound heretical, but in a way I would be heartened if he got rid of Sid. Not that he deserves to be sacked but it would show that Sherwood is creating a new backroom staff from top to bottom and isn't afraid of making unpopular decisions.

Good point Dave.  Know where you're coming from.

I read in one of the online rags this morning that Sherwood and Sid are pals. So if true, it is highly unlikely.

Sid is U21 Coach, I would hope Sherwood has his attention focused on more important issues than the U21s.

I hope he's focused on everything.

who do you want? I would love Wilkins but would he come, any ideas

I bloody hope not. Never been successful elsewhere for a sustained period

Agreed.  There are some things that need immediate attention, that isn't one of them.

[kippaxvilla2]

The production line has simply not been the same since people like Money and MacDonald left in my opinion and therefore root and branch change is absolutely needed.

[Toronto Villa]

I hope he is allowed to make the decisions he feels are critical to the club devoid of any attachment or emotion. Sid has been a part of the coaching staff through some of the worst years in recent memory. He's not to blame for all of it off course but what influence has he had on correcting it? If Sid isn't part of the future on the coaching front it won't stop him from being 100% Villa. I want what is best for the club at all levels and therefore the best coaches.

I don't, I want him to focus on the first team and be judged by what he can do with them. Change for the sake of change is never the right answer. I'd much prefer to see our 'manager' more as a 'Head Coach' with the obvious PR duties, supported by a knowlegeable DoF on recruitment but with the final say.

To give somebody with such limited experience such a major say in the U21s, Academy, etc would be foolish, not to mention giving him far too much control over the club. We all know what happens when you do that. I expect him to be interested in the youth but I don't see it as his mandate. Quite the opposite.

To be fair, Sherwood has been the director of the youth academy at Spurs for a fair while, so he does have experience in that - it's been pretty good there, too!

[ozzjim]

Sherwood has been director of an academy that currently has 3 players in the Spurs first team including the top English  scorer in the top division. I want his input in the u21s straight away! The club have said they want to bring more through. Part of his appeal is his academy record to the board.

Pongo Waring, William Scattergood and Wolfie.

ITK alert,
 Wolfie was there on sunday, he sat a few seats away from me in the corner bit between the Holte and DE stand (witton)

[OCD]

Granted that there are more pressing concerns but I would like to see a blueprint developed that is implemented at every level of the club.

He actually kind of does going by his record with the U21s. Sorry Sid!
