Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[Olof's Beard]

I feel for him a bit, I liked the bloke and wanted him to turn it round but i'm not surprised after his comments yesterday.

I agree, he really won a lot of people over last season and the Villa job does very specific damage to managers. Not many go on to better things, and most look physically ill by the time they leave. Unfortunately, Sherwood spoke a very good game and when it didn't translate into action, he backtracked and became incredibly defensive when questioned. You can understand why, but after five years of crap, patience has begun to wear very thin, especially with the home form.

I am a softie so I always feel for a manager when he gets the sack. On this occasion, it's difficult to see how Sherwood will manage again. Allardyce and Pulis are proven - they get the boot and someone else will pick them up. Sherwood only has failure on his CV (albeit failure while picking up a poisoned chalice) so it's difficult to see who will employ him next in the top job.

Hooray. That's made my Sunday. Now het a proper manager in Fox else you'll be next to go.

Our home form has been pathetic, it's even worse than Sunderlands over the last 4 and a bit years and they hold weekly walk outs!

[London Villan]

He knew he was gone as soon as the second went in yesterday. At least he looked like he cared, which was more than TSM2 did.

In hindsight you can't expect a manager with less than a seasons experience manage a top flight club.

Thanks for the FA Cup semi and good luck.

David Moyes for me.

Thanks for last season Tim, i'll always appreciate that. You were woeful this one though.

This.

His record wasn't good last season...but we stayed up.

it was more than good enough after what he inherited and no opportunity to bring in new players

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

It'll be Redknapp until the end of the season...

The albion and Liverpool cup games last season are added to my list of great Villa games I was at so he'll always have my thanks for that.

Was never qualified to manage a Premiership club. Says all the right things but does the wrong.

Nigel Pearson next

It was Barcelonaesque after the half a goal a game garbage we'd put up with under Lambert.

I didn't go the Liverpool semi but the Albion game from the moment I woke up, the pub early, feeling as we walked to the ground, the atmosphere, I knew we'd win, it was a great day. A diamond picked from the dung of the last 5 years.

The Liverpool semi was as perfect a day as I could have wished for.

If he turns up, I won't.

Awful human being.

[PeterWithesShin]

Yeah what we really need right now is a total basket case in charge. Maybe he can bring Roy Keane back as well to be his assistant. I'd truly despair if it was Pearson.

[auntiesledd]

Thank God it's finally happened! I just hope & pray that the besuited clowns responsible for employing the next manager finally buck the trend & hire somebody who knows how to manage at the top level. David Moyes for me (assuming he's up for it).

He motivated them, played a simple game to get it to Benteke and did just enough as you say. But the signs were there, his tactical limitations etc. this season he has been totally exposed as a poor manager. Similarities to Di Canio at Sunderland.
