The thing about young kids is laughable, but as nothing compared to his "that was my plan" bullshit about the first half against Small Heath.

What a bullshitter.

Having a 'Sherwood-Get Rid' is all a bit, well Albion really.

You were there mate what was the opinion?

Yes, those managers at least had a decent record at other clubs in the past but Tim does not have anything, why some people (me included) think he is a chancer.
There wasn't anyone singing 'Sherwood Out', put it that way. I could probably understand this thread if it was around December and we were in a similar position. McLeish didn't get put any pressure until March time but Sherwood is getting it already, it's ridiculous.

McLeish didn't because he'd put 11 points on the board by now.
Even Lambert got 5, then 10, then 10 again.
Given how we all saw the way those seasons panned out, I don't think it's too ridiculous for people to start reacting.

That's even more reason not to jump the gun after a poor start I suppose.

Our recent history of selecting managers is akin to going down the bookies to put your bets on armed with a pin and a fucking blindfold! 

Having suffered yet another defeat, seeing my team in the bottom three then going out for a few pints to drown my sorrows, find the pub full of people who, to a man on their feet cheering every move the Welsh made in the rugby.  The place went into meltdown when they got their final try and then the penalty to win it.  Add to that, the band were crap.  I'm still fucking fuming about everything!  Shit, shit weekend.

Marcelo Beisla's also recently left Marseille. He's completely nuts, but would definitely get the side performing.
He'd be my target.

Despite him doing a MON on Marseille he would also be my choice.

Newby, I agree with what you say about the players.
I agree with what you say about the formation and style.
I agree with what you say about the staff.
Unfortunately, it would appear that TS knows better, despite the evidence of his own eyes.
I agree with your sentiment that it's his team, and that they need time to settle. I think most on here would, rationally, too. But we need points sharpish, and my big worry is that not much will change, and by Christmas we'll be left relying on a Leicester-style escape.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to eat these words, cos right now I'm bored and sick of the same old shit being dished up year upon year, but, maybe as a result of that, I just don't see it improving soon enough.

It means what it says. We started well last season and we ended up struggling. Just because we've started poorly doesn't mean it's going to happen again.

The problem I have is that the players he has available are all pretty attack minded, when we are in a position that we are now in, the first thing a manager should do is ensure we do not lose. I think he tryed that yesterday and what was it a minute and six seconds before it went tits up.He then does not have the nous or anyone on the pitch to change things from the original plan, I get the feeling we get good players down at Villa park and then for some reason they turn into robots without a mind of their own.

Also for all those saying get Big Sam in until the end of the season, lets look how that might work,
Fox"Hiya Sam'  Sam, "Yes Foxy what can I do for you",Fox 'How about coming to manage the Villa" Sam "Yeah be interested in that" Fox 'For about 6 months, Sam , Sam you still there"
Why is anyone going to come to a job till the end of the season, he is going to want a 3 year contract and anyone else worth their salt will be the same, we then just end up paying as we have done for the last god knows how many years, into the shit managers pension fund.

You seem to have a bit of a bee in you bonnet about that. It was just said that SHA were just as shit as us in the first half. No more.

Ultimately, he's not going until it gets a lot worse. So I still back him, but I have to say I lost a bit of respect for him regarding his post-match comments yesterday. Does he think we're stupid?

Allardyce or (more preferably) Moyes will keep us up if we're desperate.

If that was a serious option, I 'd do it tomorrow

Keeping Westy on corners etc is in itself a sackable offence.
