Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[ChicagoLion]

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.

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.

I dont remember Allardyce teams wingers.

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.

He Played Downing as a number 10 and did not allways start with Jarvis

[Dave]

I got criticised for the tactics v Blues, I think he has shown his lack of tactical knowledge in the games since.

Yeah, you were quite the lone, dissenting voice with that opinion.

You couldn't move for people on here praising him for his tactics in that particular match.

What tactic did he play when Carroll was playing? If he didn't play with wingers when the big centre forward was unavailable then that's a massive step up on Lambert or Sherwood who would persist with the only thing they knew even if they didn't have the players to play that way.

[Des Little]

Just in. Not read the thread but I don't need to. He's got to go and we need to get Allardyce in. Today was just abysmal and proves that the bloke is a chancer and is way out of his depth. Make the change now Villa and give us a chance.

Can we not look a bit further afield than failed British managers or blokes with 15 minutes experience? There's a whole world out there.

[KevinGage]

What will save Sherwood for the time being is that large outlay in the summer.

Sack him now, and to the outside world we'll look completely clueless (which is true) and impulsive.

But if this run continues into November, our brains trust will have little choice. It's a results business and our results are fucking atrocious.

[Clark W Griswold]

Give him another month to turn things around, but that's his lot.

[David_Nab]

Alladyce is the kid of guy your bring in to make your team a boring but steady mid table leaving club in position for someone else to come in and build upon

For right now mid table mediocrity is far and away a better proposition than the relegation battle we are now facing.

Ultimately we need to find a Koeman type to come in ,,,easier said than done of course

I agree. The issue will always be finding one at short order who is good and wants to leave their existing position mid season. Someone who is likely doing well and wants to takeover a side bottom or close to bottom of the table.

[Ian.]

Another month to turn the screw more like.

Premier League exposure and money, I'm sure it talks.

By November, we won't even be able to see land. Sherwood is clearly a chancer who's played all of his cards. Why prolong the agony?

[Dave]

Whether you were for or against his hiring, or just somewhere in between, absolutely nobody could have seen this happening so quickly. It is a disaster.

That's not really true. A couple of us said that this was exactly what was going to happen. 

Keep us up and sacked by November.

Same.

16th place this season, horrendous start to next season, whole sorry process starts all over again.

[Des Little]

Has anyone seen his BBC post match interview? There you have a bloke devoid of answers. For Gods sake get him gone.

[PeterWithesShin]

Most depressing thing is that "Aston Villa manager Sam Allardyce" is starting to sound quite decent and I can't stand the square headed twonk.
