Dyche, Marco Bielsa or literally anyone but this clown would do for me

Sean Dyche.

Good record in lower league, check
Very little experience in top flight football, check
Relegation, check

Sounds like a typical Villa appointment. It would be like we haven't learnt anything from the Lambert debacle.

You work out how you want the team to play, you buy players who can do it, coach the others as best you can, instil a simple message and don't fuck about changing things every five minutes.

You'd think Sherwood won all these players in a raffle, rather than buying them specifically to fit his master plan.

This. If there is no master plan, or he's still undecided on his best eleven, or he's still undecided on how they should play, then why go out and buy the specific players that he did? It just makes no sense. If it happened at another club, I know I'd be pissing myself laughing, so I'm pretty sure that it's happening the other way round.

I can't believe it's the same manager who was leaping around the dug out at the end of last season.

I'm starting to think that something has gone on and it's led to his demeanor changing.

I noticed that today, too.

Spent a lot of time sat down, expressionless.

Probably because he's lost the bounce and now after all this say it like Sherwood bollocks he's probably realised he's out of his depth

Utterly clueless. Sherwood finished the game with the XI that probably should have started it. When he was first appointed, I was skeptical. In my BBC interview, I pontificated about how he had proved me wrong. I should have stuck to my initial assessment. 360 degrees.

Id get rid of him tomorrow if I knew we'd be able to attract a decent manager to replace him, but what manager worth his salt would want to work under the restrictions of our esteemed chairman and his "couldn't give a fuck" attitude?

I think he should go as I think he will take us down.

We have some good players, that could easily be mid table. For this to happen, they also need organisation, motivation and some tactical nous. Sherwood has shown that he is unable to provide this.

Dyche? Rowett? Do me a favour. We may as well not bother.

We either go for someone with some fucking experience at the top level or we just change the driver to someone else and just pray they don't crash the car.

 most people were sceptical but we were desperate and he managed to keep us up (and took us to the cup final). Dus anyone really think he was a long term answer?  Im just gutted how bad we are so soon in to the season and how weak we are. We saw signs last year of a team with no fear and attacking spirit but we are truly hopeless and disorganised again with an inexperienced team. Cant see how well improve

Fuck him off, he's shit his pants quicker than Lambert did, at least Lambert stuck too his gung ho principles for 18 months before becoming petrified of losing, Sherwood had a plan at first, a park football lose attempting to win approach but at least it was a plan and it brought us some much needed entertainment and results, the Southampton game I feel has scarred him and now he's in that Lambert phase of becoming scared of losing, 5 at the back at home to fucking Stoke?

I'd give him till Christmas at the latest to turn things around. The big problem is who'd we attract to replace him. As I've said many times who in their right minds would work for Lerner with his chronic lack of ambition and interest?

9 defeats in last 11 league games with the only win  a rather fortunate win at Bournemouth .To my way of thinking,at any other Premier League he would be shown the door .
