Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[pauliewalnuts]

Whenever I hear the stuff about someone being the man we want because he gets the club or is a Villa man, I think of Newcastle's laughable decision to appoint Alan Shearer.

Insanity.

i am with Kevin Gage on this one.
And remember Southgate doing his rallying up the Smoghead fans at every home game- TWAT.
No Gareth Southgate Badger F off.

Blimey. Given the cheap way we are run, does this mean Appy Arry for the rest of the season?

Southgate who said he expected Sven to be Winston Churchill inQF v Brazil. England lost

JT did a Churchill speech v Croatia in 2006. England Lost.

Well i think we might need some Appy Arry referee incentive scheme to keep us up.

Sherwood is a fraud, I got stick after the Blues game but have been proved right and take no pleasure in saying that

Jesus H. F. Christ.

, am I not allowed to speak as I feel

Let's get two things straight.

1) This is very tedious because you are not some sort of soothsayer, who saw through the Sherwood charade earlier than everybody else while all around you laughed and mocked. People have been talking about Sherwood's shit tactics on here constantly since February, back when you telling people that they shouldn't be moaning about him.

The first half against Birmingham was fucking rubbish and pretty much everybody posting about that match agreed that it was rubbish. You weren't a lone voice fighting against the fools who thought that we were brilliant. All apart from one or two people agreed with you.

2) Even if the above wasn't the case (which it is), that doesn't make you Rosa Parks. Even if you you were the only person who saw him for the charlatan that he is  (which you weren't) that wouldn't be some massive injustice, that means you need to bring up how you were right and everybody else was wrong every couple of days for a month (yes, that is how long you have now been standing on this soapbox of woe).

So yes, you can 'speak as you feel' about whatever you want. But if it's yet another month of this boring, unwarranted victimhood, then you'll find people getting even more bemused by it. That doesn't mean that you can't do it, but don't complain when people to react as they have done this evening. And after all the other times you've decided that it needed to be brought up again.

Freedom of speech is overrated

Rosa Parks wouldn't last long in Luton anyhow.

1997, and-after two years of progress under Sir Brian- we have our first rough trot.

Southgate is captain at the time. Do we get a rousing "We'll turn it around/ we're  all in this together" clarion call?

No.  We get:  "A number of players at the club are considering their future, and I could be one of them."

Total arsehole.

It was fairly obvious Platt wouldn't hang around when he started taking Italian lessons. Staunton was always likely to go back to Liverpool when the opportunity was right. But neither took the piss like Southgate.

And in all honesty, if Gareth Southgate felt that a club who regularly finished 5th and 6th were below him, he needed a bit of tough love.

Chelsea didn't go above their £5 million bid in 2000, and had no intention of doing so, according to Ken Bates in his Sunday column at the time. Why would they, as they already had Desailly, Lebouef and Terry at the time. He would have been cover.

If Gareth Southgate had truly been as good as Gareth Southgate believed, he would have had a whole host of top clubs tripping over themselves to sign him.  That didn't happen.

I haven't seen that quote before, but it's hardly the devious campaign of public contempt you suggested in your previous post. Whatever, it's completely at odds with what he did on the field for us. He was a solid and reliable performer. How exactly is playing consistently well for five seasons taking the piss?  What is Nzogbia if Southgate's a total arsehole?

Regarding whether Southgate was as good as Southgate thought he was, the point is more that he was already captain of a side that he (and many of us) felt was just a few players short of winning major trophies.  It's not at all unreasonable to suggest that with a bit more investment he'd have been the man lifting those trophies.  I think he had every right to be ambitious, it's a shame his chairman wasn't similarly minded.

I actually feel for sherwood , this is not his fault. At all.

[olaftab]

Despite what he may or may not have said about us the main and only reason for nor wanting Southgate is because he is a shite manager/coach.

[kippaxvilla2]

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.

Well, that's that sorted then. Southgate comes in, sticks a couple of pictures of Peter Withe on the wall and we start climbing the table to safety.

Can't see what all the fuss is about.

And I don't want Southgate either but equally it makes me laugh how some people on here think we can go and get Ancelloti and the like - that is equally ridiculous and fanciful. 

[Broughty-Villian]

I thought big nose left for "european football" (Chelsea) when that fell threw he went for "more ambitious" (m'boro). dont' mind him but no please, he's a shit manager.
