Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[silhillvilla]

I fear Fat Sam would turn any offer down to come here. With Lerner at the helm the club is toxic.

[pauliewalnuts]

The insane thing is, most of the players look pretty decent.

Veretout was good, I thought. Gil and Grealish are clearly talented players and Gil showed more than Westwood in a fraction of the time today. Amavi is rough around the edges but would flourish in a decent side. Richards looks a beast at times. Gueye is more than capable, and Adama looks like he could be very useful if he can get fit.

But week after week, going back to the end of last season, they're let down by the manager.

What on earth was that utter fucking farce in the first half? That was every bit as much of a farce as the first half against Blues (which he said was intentional, lest we forget).

That, today, was absolutely unacceptable - at least it should be for anyone who thinks the club should have a shred of dignity about it.

At any other club, Sherwood would be on the edge. Not at this one, though, he'll be safe as houses, because this sort of utter crap is now the norm, we've just accepted it. We've given in.

I'm sorry but I'm finding it just a bit hard to swallow this line from a lot of people tbh about 'Allardyce's brand of football' - It's not as if we're renowned for our free flowing football over the years is it? So if it's a choice of watching crap football, and every so often taking three points I'll have that please, thank you.

I agree, who cares about the style right now, we need stability and points on the board. People will always moan...remember MON was getting stick when he was delivering 6th place regularly too.

If it means bringing Allardyce in I'd rather keep him a bit longer, I cannot stand watching Allardyce's brand of football. We've got a decent squad with a fair amount of young foreign players, surely there is a coach outside the British Isles who could do a better job than the usual uninspiring suspects?

Why does it have to be Allardyce? I asked if there were any coaches/managers other than the usual out of work British managers (can't think why that is the case?), the likes of Watford and Midflesbrough seem capable of thinking outside the UK, why can't Aston Villa?

[Whiney MacWhineface]

At this rate, a dead cat bounce will see us get to 20 points for the season. We're already 4 points adrift, have a nightmare October to face, won't sack out manager for the foreseeable, urgh.

[Ger Regan]

I was speaking with someone who knows a few people at spurs, who told me that sherwood was deeply unpopular there. I'm not surprised, he's now joined O'Leary as my most disliked villa manager.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'd rather pull my head off my shoulders than appoint Allardyce.

Sherwood is out of his depth. Allardyce is a fucking relic.

I'd sooner appoint someone like Chris Hughton than Allardyce, every time.

If Sherwood has to go then do be it
But for those thinking Alardyce would be a good option, it would be like watching the first half today on a repetitive reel, remember we were 0-0 at half time so that sort of performance does pick up points
If that's what you want then crack on

I have no problem in changing the manager but surely we can't give up all hope of seeing some football at the Villa, surely there is someone better out there to turn to
Because you've sold your soul to the Devil with Sam

Spot on.

[go on the dog]

What about Sean Dyche?

[Monty]

I'm ust not convinced we have the players to play Allardyce's style effectively. We need someone who knows what to do with what we have. This is of course as opposed to Sherwood, who doesn't know what to do with anything.

[pauliewalnuts]

I'm ust not convinced we have the players to play Allardyce's style effectively.

Endless diagonal balls at Gestede to knock down for Sinclair.

Nein danke.

I'd take that

With you all the way about Allardyce, just be cause we are a shambles, does not mean the only answer is years of hoofball and fucking awful arrogant dull press conferences after every game, yes relic is a good description.

[OCD]

The problem with Big Sam is that we don't necessarily have the players to play his style of football. He'd have to make big adjustments to play to our strengths. And you just know without any shadow of a doubt he'd play Gabby for every single minute he can.

Not sure about that. Gestede would be a cert, he would want to play 4-3-3 and we have better wide players than Gabby so I don't think it's as certain as that.
