New Back Room Staff

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Happy with that. He's a coach, first and foremost and will help fill the void providing Sherwood listens to him, which I'm sure he will if he's smart. Seems to be a good balance now with Mr Motivator and Mr Football.

Welcome back, Kevin.

[N'ZMAV]

Smart move by Tim.

Good to see him back. I think he really has been missed these past few years. Always seemed to be well respected at the club.

[OCD]

Good appointment. He's a source of experience and he knows a lot of the players. I imagine Sid recommended him. Let's hope he gets playing like we did when he took charge of the West Ham home game a few years ago and not like the Newcastle away game.

[Clampy]

Very good move by Mr Sherwood.

Kevin Macdonald has returned to AVFC as Tim Sherwoods number 2. Very clever and thoughtful appointment in my view

[Ian.]

Great news!

[Legion]

Being discussed here.

[VillaAlways]

Really pleased with this

[Ian.]

Excellent move, well done Sherwood.

[supertom]

Good move. He knows the club. He's worked with a lot of the players. He's also a good guy.

Welcome back, Kevin.

The key thing here is that didn't bring him in as a first team coach or Reserve coach but as his Assistant Manager. This now makes him a really important member of his backroom team. In the press conference yesterday he said this appointment had to be done with a long term approach, but good for the club and for him.

At the risk of getting carried away, Sherwood has done more smart and positive things in one week, starting at HT vs Leicester than Lambert appeared to do in the past 6 months.

Thank you Mr Logic.

I see The Guardian read your posts.

Interesting very interesting!

Is Andy Marshall the full time keepers coach now? I remember he rejoined temporarily to cover Terry Gennoe who was ill....can't remember reading that the situation had changed?
