Aston Villa v Stoke City post match thread

[E I Adio]

That's it for me. I'm normally the last to cry sack the manager, hoping against hope that problems will be resolved given time, but I just can't see any way that improvement can come with Tim in charge. His 'tactics' are such transparently self defeating efforts that I can't believe that there is a single premier league manager who doesn't glance at our team sheet and can't believe his luck.

He has to go. Midnight tonight would be long enough notice.

[Edvard Remberg]

Stop being so negative!

*runs away hiding.

I have a numb feeling after a loss - immune.

That's it for me. I can accept defeats (particularly early on in a season) if I can see what the manager is trying to achieve. With sherwood, it just looks as if he's constantly winging it.

Aston Villa, where managers go to ruin their career.

I think you've got that backwards.

Sherwood was never qualified to take this job.
Appointing him was ridiculous .

[PeterWithesShin]

Back home thanks to Legion. I'm becoming immune to us being shit.

And we can't afford to miss chances like that Richards header.

If the manager of a cafe kept shitting in the slush puppy machine, he would be sacked.

Depends how niche the cafe is.

I don't think our manager shits in the machine. But apart from throwing his tea towel about he doesn't seem to know what to do about it.

Unfortunately Tim Sherwood has been shown up as an amateur in a professional sport. It is a pity but he has to go and very quickly.

Get Nigel Pearson in before Newcastle sign him up.

This will be the year we finally fall because Fox and Lerner, the fuck wits two, won't have the nous or balls to sack this clown of a manager and the brains or links to bring in anyone decent. We will go down this year with around 30 pts.

Who seriously would employ the last 3 managers we have? Terrible, terrible appointments, non of the fucks running the show have a clue.

Depends if he was serving two girls with one cup.

[Mister E]

Don't want fat Sam anywhere near vp.

he'd get our corners working, though!

When you start messing around with selection and tactics you give players an excuse.
The players know it is a shambles, there is no belief.

In the first half in particular, they looked like they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing.

thats because they didnt, it was just gambling when there really was no need to.

"There'll be no escape for the princess this time."

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

It does feel, sadly, like the road to redemption takes in a relegation. Even if in the future we get a good manager, with a good core of players that play great football, it won't come without a promotion having to be involved.
