Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[ROBBO]

Problem is though ozz we will probably piss around for the next few weeks hoping for a miracle, Ellis would have sacked him last week.

There isn't a chance Fox will admit he was wrong in the long term appointment of Sherwood though and sack him before Christmas. Four points adrift and in the bottom tree and the moron is still talking about fitness. We cannot defend you chimp.

[silhillvilla]

We will piss about, fat Sam will get the Sunderland job, Mike Ashley will more than likely sack McLaren before we move too.

[aj2k77]

We will be in December on around 11 points talking about false narratives and the need to stay calm and wait for the players to bed in and the injuries clear up. We will also be bottom and in shit city. I can't see Fox moving to sack his mate, this fucker is with us for good or bad until the end of the season. I'm beginning to think Fox is a Lerner muppet too, appointed above his station in to a role too big for him, in typical Lerner fashion, all jobs for the boys.

Imagine employing someone with no experience without even interviewing anyone else. This isn't a job for a tea boy, it' fucking Aston Villa and we are being constantly treated with neglect and contempt. Bastards the lot of them.

[Deano's Mullet]

Last boss who looked like he knew what he was doing was Houllier. McCleish had a plan but it was a very negative one. Lambert and Sherwood - clueless.

11 points by December?  Optimistic

[silhillvilla]

The only 2 games between now and Christmas day I can see any chance in are Watford home and Newcastle away. Win them both and we go into new year on 10 points.
We are so fucked it's unreal.

I could never really understand Spurs fans antipathy towards Sherwood but it's becoming clear the longer he stays here. He has not got a clue and it's patently obvious. There is a good squad at Villa and the fact that he is incapable of getting them to perform is criminal. And as for Wilkins. Other than sitting there appearing totally disinterested and detached for 90 minutes each week, what the hell does he do?
Regarding the Allardyces of this world, surely somewhere on God's sweet earth there are better options open to us than dinosaurs like him
Ideally, I'd like to see Klopp but can't see any way that he would come to this car crash of a club.
Fox should be sounding out Favre who has just left Mönchengladbach. With modest resources, he's had three tremendous seasons there. Not really sure why he chose to leave, despite having had a crap start to this season. It was interesting that the club tried to convince him to stay. He would get far better from this group of players. If there is an indication that he would come, then Sherwood should be fired now rather than waiting for us to cast be further adrift.

Klopp did say he wanted a challenge.

Well come on down mate, winning three on the spin would equal anything you did at Dortmund.

[Clampy]

I'm a little bit bemused by people wanting Sam Allardyce. He's been sacked by his last three clubs and fans of clubs he has managed moaned about the football he played. Yeah, he'd make us a bit more solid but that's about it. Look at some of the signings he made at West Ham and you'll soon change your mind.

Think the important thing in football is to back the right man. Back your decisions if it is part of a strategy which involves long term goals. Backing the wrong man is disastrous and compounds errors already made.

I don't think I've ever wanted a Villa manager gone so early before. It's blindingly obvious that he's out of his depth. He was asked yesterday what was wrong with the goal and he said something along the lines of "wide open" " need to tighten up".

He's making baffling decisions every week. It's puzzling really how he's managed to get a managerial job at all, let alone at a Premier League club.

It was a punt in February, everyone knew it. It had no basis in an appointment for the future and the decision to get rid should be a straightforward one. But as we know, nothing is straightforward at Villa Park at the moment.

[SamTheMouse]

Are you a former professional footballer? Do you talk a good game? Do you have lots of friends in the game?

Then why not take the helm of a big club. Doesn't matter if you don't know shit about tactics, organisation or man management.

The only important thing is that you USED to play professional football, and your name has been in the papers at some point.

PS: sophisticated foreign types need not apply.

[Phil from the upper holte]

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.

We probably will be

[silhillvilla]

Who does Tom Fox turn to when he needs advice ? Would it be our new DoF ?

[john e]

I can't understand why any football loving person would actually want Alardyce as Villa manager,
The thing is with big Sam is you know exactly what your getting, Tripe, week in week out utter tripe, but hey he'l keep you in the prem playing tripe e very week

I know it's been the same with Lambert and Sherwood but at least they came in promising jam tomorrow, Alardyce just promises tripe and that's what you get,
Why would anyone want to go and watch that shit every week, you know the shit that Newcastle and West Ham fans couldn't put up with because it was so crap,

I know we are a starving man but signing up for a diet of gruel every day doesn't fill me with any enthusiasm, I don't know why anyone sees it as a rational option for Aston Villa

I admit I'm shit scared of Alardyce as Villa manager, absolutely cracking my pants of having that fucking anti football man at the helm at Villa, we would certainly have hit rock bottom with that sort of surrender of every football principal at the club,

If he was the manager I wouldn't care less if we stayed up or went down because the football would be predictably crap so what would be the point,
If you don't like Chinese food you don't go to a Chinese restaurant, I don't like Alardyce football i hate it, it offers nothing only maybe some sort of sudo safety

For those saying well that's what we've got now I agree, but it doesn't mean we should accept that crap,
We need to keep some hope of bread and roses
