Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Louzie0]

I don't mind if we win tomorrow.

[Louzie0]

I note that 'no' is the biggest vote. Great. Go, Tim!

I am one of the 'undecideds'.

I really want Tim to do well, but don't want Villa to languish in the bottom of the PL for weeks whilst our manager is trying out different line ups. I'd rather cut line and get someone else if that is happening. I don't have patience beyond losing, I dunno, 5 in a row. And that's generous.

Similar boat. I have become a lot less patient and supportive. Thats not Sherwoods fault particularly. But the past, what is it now, six years? Of constant shite have made me a lot less inclined to give managers or players "time". Enough with the rebuild, investing in the future, getting the finances in order , waiting for the new TV deal money stuff. I just want us to play like the solid premier league club we should be. That maybe entitled or fickle but dont really care any more. Just results.

My work tablet is only enabling to see this page. I want Sherwood if he learns while he is going on, he has messed up and should admit it, but I do not agree with changing the manager

That's a highly selective and distinctively classy work tablet you have there, Villan from Luton!

I quite enjoy s bit of mob rule every now and then. String him up.  Maybe we should tune in to the mood of the day and declare Villa Park a nuclear free zone. It's not likely to happen of course, what with an American owner, the second amendment and all.

Then again perhaps we should just invest in a bit of software that makes the team appear to play a little less crap whenever people are watching. It will take years for the FA to cotton on and by that time we'll be well up the league.

Since the arrival of Sherwood going to Villa Park has been like moving into a house previously inhabited by chain smokers. The doors and windows were thrown open and the atmosphere was much improved. We have lived in the house a while but the smell of the past still hangs about the place.  Is it the manager who can't quit the bad habits of the previous residents, or the owner setting a bad example or Veretout's Camels?

The phrase "breath of fresh air" was in common use after the turn around achieved by Sherwood on his arrival.  Somebody is closing the windows again.

[Toronto Villa]

Changed his mind again today in the press conference.  He says it's too early to say we'll be in a relegation battle.  He said last week he knew we'd struggle.  With this and his patronising comments after the Blues game, it's all getting weirder.

Ultimately it all comes down to him not being very bright.

I know that sounds patronising, but he just sounds like he's making this shit up on the hoof.

It's partly that. But it's also the fact that he doesn't have the required media training, isn't getting it or accepting he needs it. When I first took media training it's amazing when reviewing some of the mistakes others have made how similar it is to Sherwood. Particularly sports and politics which are arguably the most public of the professions. One sentence said wrong can haunt you for life, and one statement twisted into a pretzel many times over. He doesn't seem to realize how every word can be his friend or enemy.

I can see sherwood being on CBB or IACGMOOH inside 5 years.

To carry on that analogy Brian, the weather is turning chilly and we've been forced to shut the windows which has caused some very strange smells to come to the fore again.
No one is quite sure what's causing the stench, including the guy put in charge of sorting the building out.

Sometimes it smells like he's been eating treble portions of tarka dal with a couple of pints of live yoghurt to wash it down with, and underneath it all there's a worrying odour that smells like the dozy git has turned the wood fired boiler on, but lit the wood fire on the floor instead of in the wood burner.

So to sum up.

All of the ingredients for a comfortable winter are in place.
It looks like a lot of energy and resources are going to waste.
Occasionally the new builder leaves you breathless because of the stench of shit.

I think we're probably more of a listed building. A wonderful piece of historical architecture that no-one knows quite what to use it for anymore. Of the two previous owners, one let the property slowly decay from its zenith because he wouldn't sanction the requisite money to maintain it properly and left it to wrack and ruin for twenty years. Finally, a new owner came along full of enthusiasm, but he got shafted by an absolute cowboy, who promised much, but only papered over the cracks and gave the old place a repaint. Once he buggered off, having blown all the money on expensive furnishings that ultimately did nothing to improve matters, the new owner gave up and left the building empty. Since then it's come under attack from squatters, drug addicts, prostitutes, who have used it as a home. Recently, it was put on the market again, but as yet there are no takers.

Just listening to the bitters game. Jesus. Makes me realise I'd rather have a manager like Tim who at least wants us to play football than an anti football, park the bus merchant like pulis even if it probably means guaranteed survival for them.

You have seen our lineup today, right?

[themossman]

There's a different between a manager being pragmatic out of necessity and one who's built that way. Shit negative football is in Pulis' DNA.

Quite a few wanted a manager like Pulis who wouldn't be stupid enough to gift teams a 3-2 when they were two up.....
