His biggest mistake has been not buying a proven goal scorer.

I agree he should have, but would it make a difference?

Gestede's scoring rate is fine. Goals ain't our problem, really. We've scored 2 goals in four games this season and not won any of them (including Notts County).

Granted we've lost 1-0 at home three times so I can see where you're coming from. We're jsut a mess.

Our best players, for me are: Grealish, Gil, Amavi and Richards. Richards is never a centre half, Amavi can't defend and the other two can't get in the side.

Goals are our problem too mate, we've scored 8 in 8, which is only better than 3 clubs. West Brom, Watford and Sunderland. A goal a game, especially with the starting fixtures we've had is definitely not good enough and it's only going to get worse over the next few weeks.

So, Brendan Rodgers anyone? *Ducks into the trench*

We already have a manager who cannot organise a defence, why would we replace like for like?

He has a 40%+ win ratio in the Premiership overall.

Remember 40%??

So maybe he can get us to I dunno 30% as a starter. 10 wins from here should keep us up.

And Dim Sherwood had a 50% win ratio at Spurs, not looking so good now though.

I witnessed quite a few records broken under Lambert and non of them were good, Dim Sherwood has just given us the worst start to a league in over a 100 years, he's a bullshitting chancer who doesn't know what formation or team to field.

The sooner he goes the better so we can get someone in to set up a team capable of getting points.

The fact that I've ended up having conversations with randoms in the bar before kick off trying to work what formation he's playing (particularly against Blose and Stoke) is testament to how much of a mess TS has got himself into. We really shouldn't be having to second guess WTF our manager is doing half-to-half let alone week-to-week. Completely clueless. Completely lost the plot.

I normally err on the side of caution. My natural inclination is to give them time (see years worth of comments re Houllier, TSM1 and TSM2.

I can't do it this time. There are no signs of light at the end of the tunnel.

I can take them looking terrible to start and gradually improving. I can't take us getting progressively worse and that is where we are currently.

With each passing game we get worse. Whether that be in the starting 11 or conviction in attack. If there were signs of a turnaround just round the corner I would back him. But there aren't.

Even when you look at a game and take some positives from it, he doesn't use those to his advantage to find the winning formula. He bins them in the hope of completely changing what went wrong.

He is out of his depth and, if we give him another month, are giving ourselves a mountain to climb to get out of it.

To be like Sugar with an Apprentice sacking:

"Tim, I wanted it to work. I really did. But, as the process has gone on, it is clear this is just too much for you. Thanks for keeping us up and I will watch your career in future with interest. But it is not your time. With regret, Tim, You're Fired".

This is exactly how I feel, in my eyes it's become apparent he can't organise a piss up in a brewery. It's really frustrating because I reckon we've a half decent team on paper and from some of the glimpses of football we've played.

The Miami Dolphins have sacked their coach 4 games into the season after a poor start. Shame our American ex NFL Browns owner doesn't do the same with Sherwood.

What about Michael Laudrup?? According to Wiki he is currently unemployed...for the last few seasons I've always been somewhat confident that we would stay up based on the fact that when I looked at the league table I could always pick 3 worse teams than us...right now, I can only see 2.

Perfect time to sack him now before the international break but of course the powers that be will just sit back expecting a miracle to happen even though there is no sign of progression Following Chelsea, Swansea, Spurs and Cilty we will most likely be still on 4 possibly 5 points at the most and bottom of the table 6 plus points adrift, then the axe will swing I reckon.

I think Klopp is nailed on for Liverpool. We might as well wish for Ancelotti. Or the Moon. We have to have a vacancy first anyway, and I can't see it happening soon, sadly.

I really don't think Sherwood will get sacked. Then again, I thought Lambert would 'get away with it'.

Hi Chris,

I never mind different points of view, it's what football is all about and, my humble offering is my point of view. However, I have seen enough that, in my opinion, we will be virtually relegated if there is no change of manager to one that has had at least some modicum of success at another PL club. If they decide to keep TS and, he get's us out of this mess, I will be the first to come back on this board and eat humble pie!!

I don't care who does it for our great club and, just don't want the board to be panicked at the last minute with another poor managerial appointment.

Hope that clarifies.

Does a new manager have to have had some success in the PL. A Koeman and Bilic type would suit me.
Certainly preferable to a Moyes, Alladyce or Pearson although to be fair they'd probably keep us up.

He will if he keeps losing game after game , they'll have no choice unless it's part of the plan to get relegated
