Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[villalion]

I've sat here tonight in an absulute rage once again on how our beloved club is being run from the bottom to the top, I may may not have a ST, I may not know the stats inside out, but one thing I do have is a love for this club....randy,fox,sherwood,Wilkins, fuck off the lot of you you useless wankers. (Exuse my language h+vrs)

[KevinGage]

They will pay him off with the proviso that he keeps his big gob shut about what is going on at the club.

Shame but its what will happen.

Lamberk didn't keep quiet, so maybe not.

[ChicagoLion]

At least Gareth gets the soul of the club.  Seem to remember him commenting on the lack of mementos on the European Cup win around the place in his book.

He also left us because of ambition to join Boro.

[cdbearsfan]

I understand the club but doubt I'd make a good manager. I've had enough appointing people on a whim.

Get a proven top class manager. He'll be paid millions. It shouldn't be that hard to attract a manager of a suitable calibre.

If we appoint Southgate, Laursen or any other manager purely on the bias that they played for Villa, it would be Sheareratnewcastlesque stupidity and virtually guarantee relegation.

[Rudy65]

I have a sneaking suspicion that he will not get fired, surely they would have pulled the trigger by now?

They need to have a replacement lined up first

Yeah, bright boy, Gareth.  Write what the likely customer base for your book wants to read... before heading up the A19 in search of ambition.

[PaulWinch again]

Don't care about the manager being a 'Villa man'. I want him to be a competent football manager.

[ROBBO]

Don't see why they need a replacement before sacking him even one of the backroom staff would have more idea of what to do.

[KevinGage]

Being Gareth Southgate's employer for a second time would be idiotic.

Aside from Hodge, he was the first player I can recall that openly displayed contempt for the club who was paying his wages at the time, the first of the new breed of modern professionals that tried to talk their way into a move via the backpages.

We all think we could do a better job but they seriously need to sound out a replacement first. If the likes of moyes and Rodgers quickly say they aren't interested then who?

[villalion]

Southgate.... seriously.. might as well go for gazza!

[brian green]

Agree with every word Kevin. Talking your way into management via the back pages sums it, and him up perfectly.

[brian green]

He was convinced he had back paged his way into a Chelsea shirt and was gobsmacked when it turned out to be the shirt of the mighty Boro.

[ozzjim]

I would sooner have someone like Mark Warbutton than Southgate, at least he gives the impression of having a clue what to do with players and how to organise them!

Whoever we go for is going to be a massive gamble. I do wonder if Sherwood would be better if Ramsey was his number 2. Clearly Wilkins has no sway on the ego at all.

[OzVilla]

It's funny because at the time when we could've gone for a Koeman type appointment (post Houllier) the Board were convinced about the need for PL experience. When we needed an experienced hand (post Lambert) they go for inexperience.

Sherwood is gone but Lerner has now appointed 5 Managers and those decisions have ranged from poor to disastrous.  A Southgate style appointment would not surprise me in the least with this lot.  McGrath its depressing.
