Way to soon to talk of getting rid and makes us sound like Albion fans. Sherwood gets criticised for talking about avoiding relegation but if Pulis or Allardyce walked in the door tomorrow (and they have both been mentioned on this thread) you can bet those would be the first words out of their mouth.
If that was even in the top ten reasons for getting rid for most then I'd be surprised. His ineptitude at management far outweighs his bellendry (which, admittedly, has grated from day one).


Would the correct word not be bellendery Ger? 'Bellendry' sounds like a sexual lubricant. ;)

We could do with some of it now considering the shaftings we're taking!

I'm taking my concern over how the word bellendry/bellendery should be spelt as a sure fire sign it is time to turn in for the night!

I like Sherwood-mainly based on the fact that I thought we were dead and buried last season, and he came in and kept us up. I also like the glimpses of the football the team has played at times during his short reign. (Admittedly, that may be due to the dross we played under the last two managers)

I feel he should be given a bit more time. At least until Christmas-I feel it'd be unhealthy to sack a manager so soon into the season. Sherwood is probably realising that this job is a big one.

I have my moments of anger and frustration at some of his team selections-in the same way that I used to feel disheartened last season when I saw Cleverley's name on the team sheet, it's the same this season with a few players. I guess every supporter has their own favourites and players they can't stand to see anywhere near the team. We'll never all be satisfied.

My main gripe is the consistent amount of losses, season upon season-it gets tiresome and until this changes, Sherwood faces a fight to win us over. And that's how it should be.

Although frustrated, I feel I have to back him. It's not wanting to be different to others for the sake of being difficult. I just feel he will turn this around.

He's gonna be another Lamberk, too, and not admit that he's in over his head and do the honourable thing and walk away.

A new stat doing the rounds this weekend is that Villa have lost more games than any other PL team in 2015...thats a pretty damning stat for Lambert, Sherwood and the players.

Points: 16/39

2015/2016:
Form: WLLDLLL

Won: 1
Draw: 1
Lost: 5
Points: 4/21

Total:

Stats like that are only going to end one way I'm afraid.

Well based on the last 6 games, TS is already in the same territory that got PL sacked...PL only picked up 2pts from the 4 games preceding that awful run at the start of the year. I'm not sure if TS will last 3, 7 or the 12 fixtures before the end of the year if he doesn't get a win against Stoke next weekend.

For those doubting whether or not Klopp would come to Villa, I'd suggest it would be negligent for Fox not to at least make an approach to sound him out based on this report...

Jurgen Klopp would be interested in moving to the Premier League, his agent revealed

Jurgen Klopp would be interested in moving to an ‘exciting’ Premier League club when he returns to management, his agent has revealed.

The enigmatic German left Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season after seven years with the Bundesliga club, leading them to two league titles, the German Cup and a Champions League final in his time at the helm.

Klopp now plans to take a break from football to recharge his batteries but would welcome a move to England when he does make his comeback, according to his agent Marc Kosicke.

Speaking to SPOX, Kosicke said: “The Premier League is very exciting, and we do not only think about the top four because there are some other great clubs below them.”

One concern Kosicke has is whether English clubs have structure that Klopp prefers and allows him to concentrate solely on matters on the pitch.

“I am not sure the profile of the job could work,” he said. “In Germany there is a clear separation between manager and sporting director and I think in principle this is very good.

“Jurgen does not like to speak to players’ agents or to carry out a transfer. So we have to see which is the most useful arrangement.”

Champions League football is often viewed as crucial to attracting managers of Klopp’s calibre but Kosicke insists other factors are more important to his client.

“It is always all about the challenge,” he added. “When Jurgen signed for Dortmund there were other clubs who had better prestige and were in better financial mood at this time. Nevertheless he decided for Dortmund.

“He has the great ability to develop things. If he goes into a stadium, feels the energy and thinks that he can make a difference here, this could be more attractive to him than going with the big deals and aim for the treble.”

Too soon to be getting rid in my opinion; I'd give him a bit longer with this team. To be clinical about it, you get a better choice of replacements come around November time anyway.

KRS, that's exactly why I keep mentioning Klopp. And his options would be few anyway.

There is no bigger challenge in the league than taking the former European champions and one of the most suffering fan bases in the league, back to the top where it belongs. In fact that's exactly what he did at Dortmund. There are not many clubs with our potential.

The club should at least try.
