Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[paul_e]

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.

Hence why i see De Boer (and yes I meant Frank not his brother) as the ideal candidate, has done very well with Ajax (4 titles and a 2nd place in 5 seasons) playing good football and has probably been there long enough to be tempted to move on.

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

Exactly! Why we haven't gone for him baffles me.

In other words, to gamble. And gamblers invariably lose.

In Uwe Rösler we trust.

No more up and coming managers.

You cannot take suggestions seriously for managers whose experience amounts to running tiny, tin-pot outfits like Hasselbaink, Howe and Rowett with the extreme pressures and expectations of managing a club like us.

Because he's foreign, and therefore "a gamble". We'll go for a safe pair of hands that's always managed in England. Badly.

Exactly. Sherwood was definitely a gamble, though. Next to no experience and with a reputation of being an attention seeking gobshite with a divisive attitude and a lack of understanding of tactics. Stupid appointment

I would have to agree with that.  I think we need to stop looking at the long term and look for a manager who is going to come in and change things over the next couple of seasons.  There is a malaise at the club and too many players are too comfortable.  Like Graham Taylor did first time around, we need someone who can come in and shake things up.  Once we have gone through that process, then we can start looking to build from there.  The club has been in a downward spiral for five years now and we need someone who can arrest that trend.

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.

Why would you go in to meltdown for appointing someone who's managed some of the most prestigious clubs in Europe and has 30 years of experience in the big time? Seems a lot more appealing than a gobshite with 6 months at the giants of Tottenham.
