Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think for a club our size we should be looking for European football every season not survival or mid table. If we have a very good manager in last 10 years we would have champions league football.

It is about time we find a very very good manager and give him proper backing without breaking the bank.

The 90's were brilliant. Great managers, Villa boys, who understood the club. Top players, a few trophies, never humiliated and talked down to like we are now. It was a decent time to be a Villa fan that's for sure.

Hi All
Like many of you I blamed Sherwood for yet another season of misery, but is he to blame? Certain things have come to light over the last few days. He claims he doesn't have a full say in who we sign, my mate met him at Bodymoor Heath and challenged over this statement and he stuck to his story.
So who makes the decisions on which players to sign? it would seem our well qualified Director of Football has some input unfortunately his qualifications are in Marketing not Football, then there's the Ex Arsenal wizzkid Tom Fox, does he get involved?
My point is if there's any truth in these findings it doesn't matter who we get as a Manager the solution is FOR GOD'S SAKE LERNER SELL UP AND GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Sherwood has to take his share of the blame, whatever the truth about player signings. His tactical shortcomings are there for all to see and he needs to be relieved of his duties asap.

The most culpable person at the club IMHO is Tom Fox, but I don't think many are ready to accept that opinion just yet.

Do we really need another Sherwood thread? It's hard enough keeping up with two.

[Yossarian]

I wonder in the moneyball algorithm they employed had a variable for the manager's limited cognitive abilities. I don't think anyone stopped to think we can't buy him because Sherbert only can play getting the ball up to the big man quick. Sherbert can play one way, our players were brought with a different system in mind. Something needs to give and it is easiest to replace Sherbert.

Lock this please and let's discuss this in the other two Sherwood threads.

Lerner sucks as a Chairman and even his appointments now are completely unproven but he doesn't put extra strikers on the pitch when we are 2-0 up and he doesn't play Westwood, he probably would if he was manager because he's thick, but in this case it's Sherwood fully culpable for the under prepared team we are now.

[Witton Warrior]

On 5Live he has just been spouting the "not my signings" line followed by the fact we need to get experienced players in January.
Looks like that Darren Bent moment again?

Wait, Sherwood said that himself?

[Ger Regan]

That doesn't stand up to even the slightest of scrutinies.

[Ormy Droid]

I think we're already in the Post Sherwood era, whether he's still technically in the job or not. He's busily creating the narrative that 'it was the club that done it'...'nothing to do with me guv, honest'...in the hope he get's another job some sunny day, while we're (hopefully) talking to a few potential candidates who are willing to work within the framework of the club's stated recruitment policy.

If he did, then it's surely curtains on Monday. Is basically openly questioning the club which the manager just should not be doing.

[dave.woodhall]

He's certainly getting his excuses in early while making the job of finding the right replacement ever-harder. Fuck off Tim, eh?

[PeterWithesShin]

"Not my fault guv, honest."

The sooner he fucks off the better.
