Thankfully 0% Villa now - Tim Sherwood, chancer extraordinaire

[pauliewalnuts]

Villa is one of the hardest clubs in Europe to manage, and no Villa manager since Joe Mercer has gone on to better himself

What about Sir Graham?

England job went to shit in the end, yes, but he went from Villa into one of the most prestigious jobs around.

[peter w]

why not? Who is he for heavens sake? He is the guy speaking to him about substitutions on the bench during games, so surely we should know more about him?

I think he's shit.

[Joe S]

Come on guys...i'd have expected something 'movement' related already....

Tommy Docherty.

[trevor fisher]

yes I accept Tommy Docherty, its something I keep forgetting as his reign here was so awful its still like having a gift of a ROlls Royce and finding the brakes don't work

WIth Graham Taylor, a truly excellent club manager and an honourable man who was prepared to communicate with fans, the England job was an appointment which should never have been made. It destroyed him and led to appalling abuse from the Sun and other tabloids. He was never the same again.

But I accept both managers went to higher things, and though unlike Mercer neither won the League, fair comment, both did well and I am happy to acknowledge this.

Docherty is the only manager to relegate Man Utd in the last 80 years.

[Villa in Denmark]

An achievement for which he should have been knighted.

Bloody hell.  He really is Redknapp's protegee.  Mind you at least Redknapp waits until he's actually employed by someone before he starts talking to the press about other clubs players.

 Tim Sherwood has warned Aston Villa that he’s coming to get teenage star Andre Green once he takes his next job.

The former Villa boss drafted a number of the club’s promising young talents into the first team during his eight month stint in charge at Villa Park.

In fact, it was Sherwood who plucked Green from Villa’s youth team and introduced him into the first team squad before his successor Remi Garde handed him his debut against Spurs in March last year.

Jack Grealish and Rushian Hepburn-Murphy were also brought into the senior picture under Sherwood.

And the 48-year-old has outlined his intentions to link up with Green again when he makes his return to management.

Sherwood said: “If I was to go and get a job, certainly he’d be one I’d be coming to take.

“Andre has got an attitude to die for and he needs to continue that. He’s a man already and he’s got so much in the locker there.

“He can play centre-forward, he can play off the left. Andre Green has got a massive future.”

[Richard E]

I guess we'll never find out whether he meant this since his chances of getting another job are zero.

The fact he even thinks he can get another job says all you need to know about him.

" Tim Sherwood has warned Aston Villa that he’s coming to get teenage star Andre Green once he takes his next job."


Does this count as tapping up?

[LeeB]

The question is wether Green would move to a team that play on Hackney Marshes.

No, it means that Sherwood has applied to be a taxi driver.

[The Man With A Stick]

Oh, I bet Andre can't wait.  Mate, you just got sacked by fucking Swindon.

[eamonn]

Jaysus lads, don't be so precious. Take it as a compliment. I'm sure Greeny would.
