This club is fucking rotten at every level.

That's just it, it's not. We have a terrible manager that needs to be fired. We have a very decent infrastructure now, much more solid financially, and we still have some good and very good players. The players we bought in the summer aren't shit. They just have not been used well.


Are you Randy hiding in Canada?

what on earth does that even mean?

I don't know, but I'm starting to worry that even Justin Trudeau wouldn't keep this Villa team up now. Good players, but that's a lot of games ticked off.

If they're good players then perhaps a different manager (one with a pedigree) would keep them up?
Unless deep down you think they're actually shite?
I think they are shite, these are not good players.

Average game, no way should we have lost that at 1-0 up. Swansea were awful themselves.

Whichever way you analyss it we are just not good enough at this level defensively or going forward to win games.

We are losing consistantly to out of form mid table teams, games even in the last few seasons we've still picked up points.

I just think whatever happens we are done at this level now, just look at our results, 1 point out of 30 now?!

Showed a glimpse of that on Setenta, looked like Richards went after that player he had a go at during the game.

Sherwood needs to be fired, yes. However, who is in charge of the replacement? Fox? The bloke that stated Sherwood was on a shortlist of one?

I dread to think Sherwood's replacement if he's sacked tonight, which he should be. Are we so short on money that we can't look to be more ambitious than to appoint a manager with so little experience? Considering the money rolling in next season from the new tv deal, Sherwood's appointment looks naive at best and negligent at worst.

We're two points behind Newcastle and four behind Bournemouth as it stands and both teams have a game in hand on us. I have absolutely no faith whatsoever in the board appointing anyone decent either, should Sherwood be fired. Rotten leadership from the top. Any one of us on here could have said what was going to happen with Sherwood, and here we are. Villa are not led well, from boardroom to pitch-side. It is a dreadful combination and one which will see us go down.

Couldn't agree more.

What is staggering is that Swansea were really, really poor, as bad as they have been at any point since they got into this league. Pretty much any team you care to mention would have beaten them today, yet we can't do it.

We can not beat anyone. That's the whole problem. The fact we usually can't scrape a draw (8 losses from 10 matches is staggeringly bad) is just the icing on the cake.

And the stupid thing is, we have some good individual players. He just doesn't have the first idea what to do with them.

How many other managers would have left Gestede on for the whole match, for example? That was such an obvious substitution to make. He contributed absolutely nothing, jogging around  aimlessly.

I'm lost for words really. There were some encouraging signs but even then we lose. How the defence managed to leave three players on Hutton in the six yard box is ridiculous, especially given out two centre backs are experienced.

It's obvious to me that nothing is going to change with the current management team, we're in a rut and they don't appear to be able to stop it. The next two fixtures are likely to see us with 4 points from 12 games. The only consolation is that we are only a couple of wins from getting back amongst the pack and battling for safety but for that to happen it needs a change and the sooner the better. Hopefully, the board's silence means there's a plan.

There's just no way Sherwood should be our manager by next week. He has to go. Act now. He's useless. We've got some talent in the squad. Anyone with half a brain could come in and improve us with just a little bit of organisation.

NEXT WEEK - TONIGHT, Dim tim fuck off

There's some total crap in the squad, I'll give you that. One or two decent players in there as well though. My only hope is that we benefit from a 'new manager lift', but our decline will only end when the disgrace that is Randy Lerner finally sells up and fucks off out of our club. He is public enemy number 1 in my opinion.
