Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[ciggiesnbeer]

If it's Bob Bradley then, really, we've managed to trump the McLeish appointment, something I never dreamed for a moment would be possible.

Although considering he was linked pretty much from the day we learned that Randy was taking over, it does feel inevitable that it will happen some day.

A bit like Robbie Keane was obviously going to play for us at some point.

tbf Robbie Keane really showed me up as the idiot I am and did a great job for us, bless him. If it ends up being Bradley I sure hope he does the same.

Really? Interesting if true

Surely it is the programe editors job to inform columnists that they aren't going to be used anymore. Even if it's not their choice?

Wouldn't expect Tom Fox or Sherwood to tell a 12 year old kid he's being released.

I think Stanley is placing a bit too much importance on the role of Programme Columnist.

Although considering our press officer shut down a press conference recently after a certain question was asked, this isn't that surprising.

It's a worrying trend.

I can see both sides of that Collymore thing, though.

I can see how it is difficult for him to be critical of the club in public and supportive in the programme.

That's not the same thing as punishing him for saying what he thinks, but I can understand how they might think it makes his position untenable.

I do think, though, that with the increasing noise in the press, we're lurching into Newcastle-style chaos.

I think Sherwood is an out-of-his-depth shyster as previously argued on here, but I do think that if the board are going to support him, they should be making noises to that effect.

If they are not going to support him, they should replace him as soon as is humanly possible, because otherwise his position becomes totally untenable.

I can't say anything about Bradley's tactics and set up with Stabæk, but from memory his USA teams were functional, well organised and heavily reliant on Clint Dempsey for any sort of attacking spark, but that may have been born out of necessity with the players available.

His Stabæk team are currently 2nd in the Norwegian Tipaliga  with a team of comparable stature as OGS's Molde, but I think with less money.

I posted this elsewhere as general comment on refried a manager from Scandinavia.

On Peter W's point about similar leagues.
Absolutely no under any circumstances, look in Scandinavia unless you can poach Lars Lagerback from Malmö. The standard is just too poor.

The other 2 stars have been OGS (didn't he do well and Ståle Solbakken (who did even worse.)

Alternatively Kasper Hjulmand who was Okore's trainer at FCN when they won the Danish league and played in CL lasted 8 months at Mainz.

Klinsmann 16-1

He'd fit in here perfectly.  He chops and changes the team from game to game, has no clear idea how he wants his team to play, plays players out of position and then hangs them out to dry in public.

There is absolutely no evidence that Bob Bradley would ever be our manager. There never has been, yet he always gets mentioned.

Whoever is supposedly replacing Sherwood, it's likely i'll welcome them with a heavy heart.

I take that as ITK confirmation.

Off to twitter brb.

It is, and always was, entirely because he's American.

The Carlton Palmer of the managerial world.

Kinsmann was 10/1 last time.
Non starter

[john e]

Nothing whatsoever to do with anything about Sherwood

But Bill Kenwright is apparently close to the end health wise tonight, according to a few Evertonians I know on FB

[Villa in Denmark]

Kinsmann was 10/1 last time.
Non starter

He's a non starter regardless of the bookies odds.

He's not leaving his cushy Californian lifestyle with a settled family, with the workload of an international manager, for the workload of PL manager in Brum.

And that's before we start for the 1000th time on how bookies odds v real probability

And he played for Spurs
