I would agree with Ads view on things above.

If we can get to the halfway mark in the season and are at a point a game, providing we are improving, we should finish with around 43 points. I would have considered that an acceptable season before the season had started.

Sherwood is effectively Tom Fox's first appointment.

Lerner has opted out of the decision making process, so Sherwood is Fox's man.

I don't think he'll be rushing to his boss saying 'I got it wrong' anytime soon.
I think Sherwood will get less time from the fans than previous managers - he wasn't a popular appointment and whilst he kept us up against the odds that goodwill is evaporating. Unrest amongst the fans will focus everyone's thinking (including Fox)


Remaining in the bottom three into November will probably have a larger impact on Fox.

Sack him and sack the next manager in a few months.

Two newmanagerbounces might keep us up.

4 worked well for Watford last year. Less so for Leeds

Now we have a DoF sacking managers should be fairly painless

If we had a structure from top to bottom like Swansea or Southampton maybe so.

Yes we are all clear on the ethos of those two clubs. I defy anyone to explain what it is at Villa.

"Spend as little as possible, and hope that the succession of useless chancers we appoint as managers somehow manage not to get us relegated."

It starts with the manager. We're a confidence team and if the manager sets us up to play conservatively then frankly we are not very good at it. When we played open football at Leicester we looked great. Spells versus Liverpool, against Blues, Sunderland, in fact against a good number of teams we have looked very good. But when he has us retracting into our shells we get sloppy and are punished. We have to start vs Stoke with the right attitude and we will win. But it starts with Sherwood not pretending to be Lambert.

Made me chuckle and fuck me I've been so miserable over Villa, thank you.
