Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Toronto Villa]

Good I'll be glad when it comes to an end next week. He's proving himself to be a massive wanker.

[Ger Regan]

I'm going to be more relieved when he's finally fucked off than I was when lambert exited.

[Ger Regan]

Oh good. Being discussed on soccer saturday now.

Ger, for us foreign types please let us know what is said. Ta

Compare and contrast.

"If I can't put a better team out than that after all this time in football maybe I should think about whether I should be here" (or words to that effect).

Agreed and to really do him justice, you have to admit that it does take a special kind of skill to prove yourself to be even worse than Lambert's 2 1/2 years in a little over 6 months.

Sherwood just debated on SSN. All of them kept referring to him as "young manager". So I presume they are referring to his experience rather than his age?

I'll have a guess.

Hands tied behind his back.
Needs to be given the chance to sign his own players in January. (With significant budget.)
What do they realistically expect after selling their 3 best players (ignoring the fact that Cleverley wasn't ours, but was shite for 90% of his games for us.)
No point changing, won't find anyone better.
No one could work harder than Tim to improve things.
Tim isn't a quiter.

And about 50 other meaningless platitudes with all the insight of Narcissus.

Conclusion from his "mates" is that it's not his fault and it's the players and he needs more time!

[Ormy Droid]

Don't forget he's too honest for his own good!

So exactly the same that they'd been saying about Lambert, before he got the chop and performances and results improved drastically?
Conclusion (in case you didn't already know it.) The pundits are far too pally with those that are currently managing and won't say anything that might get them off the Christmas card list.

Be interesting to have heard how they'd have responded to a similarly (un)qualified coach from Portugal as an example.  I'd guess that it would then have been all about, should never have been given the job, lacking the experience, what were the club thinking type comments.

I'm sure he needs more time but if we're dumb enough to give it him, we're fucked.

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

Indeed I'm bored of this. The not my signings schtick is a disgrace.

Yet he still was allowed to continue being manager
