Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[martin o`who??]

They won't sack him while we have the Southampton cup-tie looming, after all why destabilise the club any more while there's still a slim chance of a cup run, but after the seemingly inevitable defeat on Wednesday I think it will be a done deal.

The cup game is neither here nor there and I would be amazed if the board didn't think that too, in our situation now it's a pretty meaningless fixture.

We'll see.

If you recall, last season's tipping point seemed to be the 'Lambert Out' banner at Hull. Was there no such protest yesterday? I luckily missed the game as I'm away.

I think the fans have had the life kicked out of them.

Nothing on Sky or the Beeb's website.

I'd have thought the press would have got wiff of a story out of Villa by now, but nothing yet. I hope we're not dithering over sacking him.

I'm risking the ire of the powers that be on this site but I'm going to say it anyway. Doug would never have put up with this shit. Sherwood would have walked four games ago. And before you list his faults let me tell you I don't give a damn. Our club was better run with him in charge.

The holte end were singing "Tim Sherwoods claret blue army"
Followed by "Randy Lerner is a wanker" and "Sack the board"

No they weren't. The back of the Holte Upper were, the rest of us were sat in muted silence watching the car crash unfold.

Can anyone get a link to the Sunday supplement programme on Skysports this morning?  There's just been an interesting five minute discussion on Sherwood. I was surprised at their level of knowledge of our position.

[TonyD]

I predict an announcement about 3pm.

BST or GMT?

Well I sit towards the back of the Holte and I can assure you it was chanted a few times and not just by a few.
It probably stands out because the atmosphere is so dire at the moment, but the general feeling seemed to be anger more towards the board. Which I don't understand, because I think the tactics by Tim is the overriding problem this season for me.

I reckon he was told he was gone either last night or this morning and he's been given today to either spend with his family (he has lost his job it's not a nice feeling for anyone even in football) or give him time to go into Bodymoor and clear his desk.

I'd be amazed if he's still here for Southampton game, I fully expect an announcement to be made sometime tomorrow.

I remember news of Lambert being sacked came through around 8pm so we'd probably given him time in similar circumstances to collect his stuff from the training ground otherwise we'd have put out the announcement earlier in the day.

I dread to think how much the club have spent paying off/settling out of court/compensating/buying the silence of managers in Lerners time, we could have brought half of Real Madrids first team with it I should think...

Stop giving them 3 odd year contracts.

The one we bring in should just be given until end of season and then we'll discuss matters then as they might want to bail out if he can't keep us up and we probably wouldn't want them anyway.
