Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[OCD]

I would probably take Rowett over 4 of those (Clarke, Pearson, Moyes and Sir Brian).

Fox was slow to act with Lambert and by not taking the decision after Stoke, is already slow to act. It's so obvious that he's out of his depth. I hope Fox and the Technical Director (Halmstad?) have worked together in the last week to put a plan together so that when the inevitable happens, things can happen quickly.

[SamTheMouse]

Rowett is a funny one.

I wouldn't put him on a list of "I'd like these" names, but if you placed before me a button and said "press this and you swap Sherwood for Rowett right now" I'd do it.

I probably would too. In fact, even if the option was Brendan Rodgers or David Moyes I would be like:

[KevinGage]

We'd be doing very well to get Rodgers or Moyes to even take the phonecall in the state we're in, so there is no even about it.

[Walmley_Villa]

I think I'd rather get somebody in that excels at the Football Manager computer game than Sherwood. Everything he has done and said over the last few weeks has shouted out that he is out of his depth.

I think we might be surprised about that
We must be a good club for managers looking for s bit of redemption,

Rogers and Moyes at there highest point no way, but now I still reckon there would be loads of decent managers who would crawl to VP to manage Villa

Of course  I might be looking at things in my C&B specs

If Leicester can appoint Ranieri then we can appoint someone decent too, we don't have to talk ourselves down completely all the time, that's what the losers at the club want. No ambition, no expectation other than to survive. We can and will do better. Premier league, pay well, big ground, good attendances, great story. Someone out there will see us as a great opportunity because we are.

There's legendary status waiting for someone with a bit of fire, nous and charisma about them. It will happen and probably sooner if we stop taking all the shit on the chin and make it clear that this is not good enough, the excuses have to stop, we can be better than making up the numbers.

I say it every time - Cesare Prandelli is a Villa fan, speaks English, plays good football...

The mugs at the club won't have heard of him. He's not a failed Premier league big mouth, one of Fox's mates or on Sky sports news every half hour.

This !

FFS its the most popular league in the world ,and despite us being shit for a few years we still are a recognizable team so I'm pretty sure should we sack Tim we would have a decent selection to pick from ..of course the trouble is the people picking the managers have a 100% record of getting it wrong..

I'm not sure decent managers want to work fir the people that run our club.Their reputafion precedes them,same as the clowns running Sunderland and Newcasltle.

[Allan C]

1000% correct aj2k77  you need to start running the club. That kind of positive drive is what's missing and until it's back we'll carry on with what we've got. We're better than appointing "big Sam" and accepting this struggle as the norm. Positive hands on leadership at the very top is what we need right now to rid the club of all the negativity. When we get that and only then, things will change

[themossman]

Found it. Thanks anyway, though, like.

[Duncan Shaw]

Anyone reading Klopp's quotes on taking over at 'The Mighty Reds YNWA' not insanaely jealous.............?

[Chris Smith]

The policy at the club now is to sign potential. We have seen that with the players we have bought and Sherwood falls into the same category. So there is nothing to suggest that next time they are going to be seeking out anyone with a proven track record.

[RussellC]

If Leicester can appoint Ranieri then we can appoint someone decent too

If we'd have appointed Ranieri, either immediately after sacking Lambert, or even this summer, most Villa fans would have been in meltdown.
