I'd take a chance on Rodgers. Given that we only ever appoint boring Premier League experience managers he might be about as good as we'd get.

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.

As TV says, Rodgers doesn't have much input on the players that Liverpool sign. He has a say, but not much more than that.

On the bright side, the bloke who helped him bring in quite a lot of those terrible players is now in charge of our transfers. So silver linings and all that.

As much of a cock as Sherwood is making of himself he's contributed to some very good players now being at the club. Much as you suggest is also down to Paddy.
Absolutely - in spite of our rubbish start, I'm still very positive about the summer business. For most of which I'm still pretty certain Sherwood played a supporting rather than a starring role.

he seems to have a little dignity, unlike some of them who stick around till the bitter end with their heads up their arses in total denial just so they can get paid up, apparently, according to Sunderland sources, no financial agreement has been made - fair play Advocaat.

Forest are so big they've spent half their history out the top flight. Leeds are such a massive club they've reached one cup final outside of the Revie era, and we all know how that went for them. Those kind of clubs aren't fit to be in the same sentence as Aston Villa.

Leeds have spent longer outside the top flight than in it.

We are second, behind Everton.

Leeds have had 50 seasons in the top flight, 38 out of it. Take out the Revie inspired decade and they've got one title and nothing else. Until Revie arrived they'd finished in the top 10 five times and averaged 30K twice (32K and 30,200). If ever a club was built on one man, it's Leeds.

Fair enough, need to fact check before I post stats. 48 though, so not too far off.

We also aren't as shit as we, and others, make out. In the last 20 years we've had 4 cup finals, numerous other semi-finals, European campaigns etc, outside of the money clubs, who can match that?
Without checking I would guess we've also spent the majority of the last 20yrs outside the top 10?

I haven't looked but suspect that is not correct

Wrong, even if you just take the ''Premier league'' era then we've finished top 10 15 times, top 6 9 times, 5 cup finals, 5 semis. Not mid table really, theres about 7 other clubs who can match that and 2 of them are managed by gazillionaires.

Villa 15 top 10, 9 top 6, 5 semis, 5 finals
Newcastle  10 top 10, 8 top 6, 2 semis , 2 finals
Everton 11 top 10, 7 top 6, 2 semis, 1 final
Spurs 17 top 10, 8 top 6, 7 semis, 5 finals

7 clubs can match or better it , that makes us 8th Mid table as I said .

As for cup finals & semi finals .... Great for a day out , but not so good when you lose them .
