Thankfully 0% Villa now - Tim Sherwood, chancer extraordinaire
« on: February 11, 2017, 10:19:54 AM »
He really is a strange one, rocking up at Swindon, he has control of tactics, transfer strategy, training 3 times a week and team selection BUT isn't the manager, doesn't conduct interviews, doesn't attend post of pre match media. He basically does as he see's fit and is answerable to no one at the moment.

Unsurprisingly Swindon have won 3 out of 19 and fans want him gone.

Full article is here, sorry for the link to the Daily Heil

To think some Villa fans still celebrate this charlatan. To be fair, his face on the Football Manager game is a stroke of delicious irony.

Well what a load of nonsense.

'Arry'll tell ya and Sav and Wright'y and probably Danny Murphy as well.

It's about time good young English managers were given a chance ahead of all these foreigners. I've never heard of half of 'em and they come over here with fancy ideas. What we need is a bit of good old English passion and spirit.

It's not all about winning games and scoring goals is it? It's about a bunch of gold club wankers all pissing into the same pot, ignoring the bloody obvious and making sure everyone thinks that their mates are being hard done by.

It's Brexit football, Harry as Farage, Sav as Nuttall and Danny Murphy as any number of brainless Question Time audience members blithering on about how brilliant we all are and how we don't need anyone else.

Just think, if Sherwood was still here we'd probably be in the bottom half of the Championship by now.

I wouldn't want him back unless he somehow proved himself somewhere else (which tbf is looking lees and less likely), but I enjoyed the beginning of his time here more than I'd enjoyed Villa in many years.

I'm glad we got rid of him quite quickly when it started to turn bad, because I can remember the few weeks that ended up at Wembley really fondly without it being clouded too much by the shit bit that started just before the cup final itself.

Does anyone really still celebrate him? He did well to get us out of trouble when things were fast heading to shit. He managed two games that were absolutely superb. But it was all very fleeting and when it went wrong, it did so in spectacular fashion. There are some good memories but like almost everyone delighted to see the back of him.

I just...I'm still embarrassed that we were managed by Sherwood. At least all the other failures had actual management experience and weren't utter gobshites. Sherwood though. The memory still stings.

Strange as it might sound, his tenure was the only time i've really been embarrassed by the club.

Does anyone really still celebrate him?

Plenty seemed to want him back when we initially dropped down and then when Di Matteo walked the plank.  If you take polls on the likes of tawsksport and the Meaning Evil as gospel.

I wouldn't have him back in a million years but he gave me two of the best days i've had supporting Villa so I can never bring myself to get too worked up about him.

Yup. It was the point at which we went from a club that just made bad decisions into a club that didn't even care enough to bother thinking about the decision they were making.

Idiocy at every possible level.

We might get a chance for another tactical battle with Tim next season.

If Tim Sherwood told me it was daylight, I'd go outside and check for myself.

So happy we have got Bruce! He kept us up when we were down. Better manager than Lambert
