Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[OCD]

He'll get them out of the shit too - if he takes it.

[LeeB]

Well, that's Allardyce out of the picture for us then.

Every cloud and all that.

[Monty]

He'll get them out of the shit too - if he takes it.

He has taken it. To be honest, maybe he will, but I'm really sceptical - that's one shit team right there. He'll get them above us, though, if we perservere with the fool.

Old Astonian proverb - A fool and his gold are easily parted, a fool and his managers not quite so.

[Quiet Lion]

I am sure we will all feel so much better about Fat Sam going to Sunderland, less so when he gets them up the table of course.

[silhillvilla]

We're going to end up with Dick Avocado

There was a load of support for Big Sam on here, he was probably the favourite

Not from me though if Sherwood leaves now, with Pulis and Allardyce out of the way me leeb, Paulie and a few others can breathe more easily

Breathe more easily?  With the situation we are in?

No probs

[CT Villan]

...but a club like Villa should not be appointing managers with potential that need time to learn. We need proven ability, now more than ever, because we're in the shit.

We did that with our previous (and I suppose current) CEO too, and Lerner has had more than enough time to learn...and where's the Chairman ?

[brontebilly]

It would be very easy to argue that the last shit 6 years are largely down to O'Neill's incompetence and arrogance.

That and Lerner. And for all the talk about the club needing an experienced manager, I would go one step further and say the club desperately needs experienced leaders at the top.

No it wouldnt, that argument would be ridiculous

The season (5 days) before he left was always going to be a struggle as he left a shambles behind.

But that was still a very good squad of players, a manager that took that side down should never have worked in the game again.

Part of the reason MON had to go was because our board irresponsibly gave him control of the purse strings

Southampton havent fallen apart, they keep getting rid of managers and players and keep the show on the road, Swansea too.

We cant keep blaming MON for the failings of his four successors, all woeful in their own right.

Sherwood is the worst of the lot though, I cant see him managing at any level after this gig finishes up.

There is a bigger problem regarding the culture of the club though, that goes back maybe 20 years or more that needs fixing.

It would take a superb manager to thrive at Villa like Taylor did first time.

Why did Brian Little ultimately fail at the club, where was the support for him when he needed it?

Paul Lambert looked completely overawed from day one, again where was the support structure to help him succeed?

[aev]

He has taken it. To be honest, maybe he will, but I'm really sceptical - that's one shit team right there. He'll get them above us, though, if we perservere with the fool.

At this rate second bottom could well be above us.

[Steve67]

Who, realistically would we be able to attract, with the terrible outlook the club has at the moment?  Redknapp, Pearson? Or will they finally learn and go for someone already at a club? Personally, I'd like Hughes but each to their own eh?

[silhillvilla]

Mark Hughes would be good. I'd be happy with Moyes aswell and if we go down he would bring us back, sherwood I could see going back to back relegations.
My first choice is the De Boer twins
2nd choice Michael Laudrup.

[curiousorange]

Somebody who knows how to play good football please. When was the last time you saw a relegated side and said 'yeah, but their football was brilliant to watch'?
