Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Legion]

Of course we're a top club (historically).

[Clampy]

It is a good job I am not in Tom Fox' position as I would be sounding Rodgers out tonight for the Villa job, and if he showed any willing I would be getting him in.

Did he and Paddy Reilly get on?

I'm not sure, Rodgers did nearly win them the title in fairness but on the other side of the coin, he's brought some terrible players and spent a shit load of money. Besides, no-one suggested him while he was in work.

What I do know is that we could really do without sacking another manager.

We could if he's completely inept. I'm all for sticking with a manager, but how about when we do stick with one, let's make it one who is vaguely competent rather than one who never should have been even considered to be Villa manager. And who should really be managing a call-centre, or perhaps a small provincial supermarket.

As for "he's a young manager" - is he? He's a decade older than Alex Neil and Eddie Howe. "Unqualified" and "young" aren't synonymous.

Yes before WWI

[saint13]

I did... after the match last week.

[Smirker]

I will argue until I am blue in the face against anyone who suggests we aren't a big club but to say we are on a par with Liverpool is perhaps a slight exaggeration.

He has but part of that is down to that council they have. There are managers who need control and work better with a more limited budget. Rodgers might be better in that situation. I'd take a punt on him because of the football he'd try to play. Or at least was at Swansea and in his good season at Liverpool.

Agree, liverpool are much bigger than us if we're honest.

Isn't the only relevant thing about the big club argument in this context that we are bigger than poking around desperately avoiding relegation year after year?

That's hard to deny.

[olaftab]

I would say get Rodgers in now as he has become available.

[four fornicholl]

that's what I was getting at paulie

[Malandro]

We are a big club but so are Leeds in my book.

[Toronto Villa]

We are a big club but so are Leeds in my book.

And Forest and Derby.

[Legion]

As are Nottingham Forest.

[four fornicholl]

and we don't want to end up like them!
do we?
