Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[ozzjim]

It is Di Canio at Sunderland all over again, but Sherwood is not controversial enough to get himself the boot.   

I think my first choice would be to try and get the guy at Middlesbrough but he may not come. Seems to want to play decent football and might do well with the squad we have. Outside of that a competent European coach would be a decent plan, look at Ranieiri at Leicester and Koeman at Southampton, neither have been glittering but both tactically sound enough to get results in the premier league each week.

As Soccer says, the bigger fear is where we will be come Christmas if this continues.

any one see Albion anti football against Palace today? and people want that for The Villa, that is what Fat Sam brings.
No thanks I would rather be relegated.

Lucky you, you may just get your wish

Dont remember saying I wish but hey ho

I think the reason people are thinking we could do worse than Allardyce is that you have a pretty decent idea of what you would get. Stability. Some of the other names from Europe are more like a roll of the dice. They might turn out to be brilliant or they might not.

We have such a momentum dragging us down at the moment, same as Newcastle and Sunderland have. If we could just have 2 or 3 years of average football, just acting like a regular premier league club with average results, it would at least help get rid of that momentum. We might not have a scintillating time but it wouldn't be like this misery either.

Ranieri was suggested on here 12 months ago and was laughed out of town

[VillaAlways]

Get rid and for gods sake behave like a club with ambition It is an absolute disgrace how Lerner has managed to downgrade our ambition to the point where we will be grateful to stay up Can somebody please take this club by the scruff of the neck because at the moment nobody seems under any pressure at all regardless of results

Exactly. It might be as boring as buggery but 14-9th for 3 seasons might actually be a welcome relief.

I understand your sentiments but I hope the last sentence is for effect only. Otherwise I'd question your sanity.

Think back. Performances are quickly forgotten. Can you remember HOW we played when we beat Chelsea away under TSM1?  Nope? Nor me. But I do remember the celebrations, the elated phone calls, and (most of)  that weekends revelries.

At the minute we need points, we can't afford to be choosy.

[levico]

I'll sum up my feelings by saying that I can't honestly envisage where the next point is coming from let alone the next win. We will be lucky to have doubled our points total by Christmas.

Worse is that I'm convinced that we will see no action by the club whatsoever. We will continue to lose match after match and the club will say and do absolutely nothing.

Have you seen what we have been serving up for the majority of the last five years?

I'll concede that Allardyce won't be promoting liquid football any time soon, but don't compare him to Pulis. He is what he is and will always be. Allardyce plays direct football with wingers and a CF so something we can relate to. Pulls just brings the game into disrepute.

And yet Albion comfortably beat us just two weeks ago.

Everyone is pointing to relegation atm as things stand.

I dont remember Allardyce teams wingers.

[villan from luton]

I got criticised for the tactics v Blues, I think he has shown his lack of tactical knowledge in the games since. This is from someone who liked Sherwood when he came into the club. His selection today was a disgrace and he should admit that, like he should other things, such as the subs at Leicester. He says we shouldn't be negative v Stoke at home after the game, yet he chooses that team. There are some decent players in that club, but he is getting to the point of no return

It is a fair point. Allardyce is invariably a lot more entertaining than Pulis.

He played Downing and Jarvis at West Ham didn't he.

He will be at Sunderland soon anyway, and when they are safe we can all moan that he would have done a job for us as we limp into the championship.
