I don't get why pundits are blind to the immediate cause of the trouble.

Not all of them are. Jason Cundy spells it out as he sees it.

Sherwood is out of his depth

I've said before, it's not just because of the results that I want him gone, which are bad enough. But our manager has admitted he doesn't know how to change it. But he changes everything each week, formation, players etc, has no defined style of play for us to develop in training. No wonder there are so many individual errors, players must be as confused as we are by his 'tactics'. Even McLeish and Lambert knew what they wanted and trained the players to do that every week, even if what they wanted was shite. To not have a clue on the formation and style you want your side playing would be embarrassing for a Sunday League manager, for a manager of a PL side it's a fucking disgrace.

And that's before we start on his bullshit, lies, and the shite coming out in the media. He's pretty much caught up with Mr Fickle on my Twat-O-Meter.

So that might mean Randy actually appoints Bob Monkhouse instead.

I can't believe he is still here, but then I was saying that about Lambert for what felt like an eternity.

The difference this time is the club are not putting out statements of support. I think he will be gone this time next week at the latest.

I'd be mortified if we replaced Sherwood with the likes of Bradley or Monk. They're the type of mental cheap as chips appointments that have got us into this mess in the first place.

I think Monk will be anything but cheap as chips. In fact he'd cost more than what Randy would be willing to fork out. He's also be absolutely fucking bonkers to move here from Swansea.

The only time I’ve seen Sherwood’s emotional side have a negative effect is when Tottenham lost a game at Chelsea and he dug out a few people publically and questioned some of his players’ “mentality”. That’s about as bad as it gets for a player because it implies you are weak, and that rant upset some of Tottenham’s squad. But he’s still developing and learning as a manager – this is only his second job, and his first one didn’t last long - and I think he learned a lot from that.

Yeah. Which is why he keeps doing it. (facepalm)

Proof positive that our former loan star doesn't watch any of our games. Maybe he's not so daft after all.

A young manager learning his trade will be given leeway, but what do you do for someone who shows no aptitude to learn? And it's not as if Sherwood is particularly young either. Jenarse's football philosophy sounds as half-backed as Sherbert's too.  Work harder than the opponent? Is that all it takes?  Just clone 11 Geoff Horsfields then. Job done. 

An indifferent or even a below average start to the season would probably have been tolerated by the vast majority this season, such has been the decline in expectations. But seven losses in nine tells its own story.

Still, Jenas has made it clear that even if we go down this season, his pal Sherwood can be absolved of all responsibility. Seven or 27 losses, what odds.

Impressive that so many of his pundit and media mates have gone into bat for him.

Whatever direction we take next, I hope it is someone who is on less intimate terms with these blowhards.

JP, I thought you were going to tell us after you had placed your bet on Monday...has something changed ?

I would be very happy if it was Bielsa - am I going to be very happy ?  ;)
