Who Paulie  has he thrown under a bus please and how ? There's some I would love to throw under, I think he's been too loyal
if anything to some but as always I'm happy to be proven wrong if you can give me examples ?
Like I said, It is all about opinions and I'll hold my hands up if someone can show me he's being disloyal or not even trying to succeed,
ultimately we the fans want what's best for our club we just have so many different ways we think it should be achieved.

Well, he spent last week telling his mates in the media that he didn't choose the players he signed.

How do you think that makes the likes of Ayew, Veretout etc feel? These are players he has got to motivate us out of the bottom three, and he's basically said he doesn't want them.

And then there are the likes of Fox, Almstadt, Reilly and the other upper management of the club implied to have forced players onto him.

That's what I was referring to. The above, all happening because Sherwood is defending his own reputation. Awful behaviour.

I am torn..I never want us to lose, we really need 3 points but for the greater good it may not be a bad thing. That said I hope the club have already decided this chap is not a PL manager and move on whatever.

Great article but I wonder what the reaction to Sherwood will be on Saturday if we beat Swansea? Will people want to give him more time at that point? FWIW, can't see us winning, Swansea are on a shit run so who better to play than us?

More than anything, I just want us to win.

We can then go on and talk about what we do next, but fucking hell, we've got to win.

I agree Paulie, hopefully the club already know the who, how and when and then go do the deal.

Yes. I would be more than happy to be sat here next week arguing with each other whether Sherwood deserves another game, but we just need to win first.

What we need against Swansea is a performance from Adama which might confirm the hype surrounding his signing was worthwhile.We need a performance from Grealish that will benefit the club.We need,in fact,a performance from all of them.Sherwood and Wilkins included!

And that's the core issue. I have am absolutely sick to fucking death of Villa losing every weekend. As you've pointed out Sherwood lost half of his games last season, but that was seen as impressive for Villa. It's bloody atrocious and there is virtually no joy from watching the club and there hasn't been for a long time.

Changed my mind to yes over the last week or two.

I was not particularly happy when he was appointed, but did not see many other great options. He did a decent job for us last season and deserved a crack this year.

I think we all were willing to be patient as long as there were some signs of a team coming together i.e. a good performance/win here, a poor performance/loss there. That's what happens when so many new players come together, even if the manager has a clear vision of how he wants to play.

But therein lies the problem, he has no vision of how he wants this team to play. The first half v Leicester (or before the subs) is the best I have seen us this year. It beggars belief that he hasn't gone with that formation/team, with a few tweaks, for a decent run of games. He looks like a blind man fumbling around in the dark trying to pick his team and formation. A lot more should be and is expected of a Premier League manager and a league winning captain.

For all the above, I think his time is up. And I haven't even mentioned all of the bollocks he talks in media!

A win on Saturday might buy him time. But if it is followed by 3 losses to Spurs, City, Everton that will surely be that.

Most of us believe we have a stronger squad than last season, if we are right then the responsibility for them not performing to an acceptable standard lies with the manager, he picks the team and decides the tactics, he has failed miserably.
