Thankfully 0% Villa now - Tim Sherwood, chancer extraordinaire

[Damo70]

The strength of Aston Villa fans are snobs or nobs (?) argument is compelling. I'm doing a 180. Tim was incredible. He gave me some of my best days. I completely absolve him of any responsibility for our slide into obscurity. Our loss is another club's gain.

Despite my poor grammar, as you have rightly highlighted = even I know Knobs is spelt with a K!!

And yes we are snobs, that's what I like to feel puts AVFC above most clubs on this planet because of our history and fan decorum.

'Fan Decorum'. You should Trademark that. Could be a big selling aftershave in the club shop. Clearly you couldn't sell it to noses as they don't understand the word or know how to spell it.


They struggle with the spelling/meaning of the word 'fan' so they have no chance when it comes to the word 'decorum.'



Plus obviously they don't even buy soap so there is no way you could sell them aftershave.

I think that Sherwood was exactly what we need when he was appointed. I think sometimes we forget how bad things were when he arrived. Pretty much everyone thought we were down after that Hull defeat and 'performance'. We needed a cocky fecker to come in and use enthusiasm and cockiness etc to lift everything, players and fans. It sounds stupid now but his "A sherwood team wins" kind of guff was needed.

I also think he was exactly what we didn't need to be in charge at the start of the following season.

Can't argue with that at all.

Here's a fact. He's won 8 of his last 42 games as a manager. Although he wasn't a manager at Swindon, he just decided which players they bought and sold and chose their starting 11, formation and tactics.

And that's relevant to Aston Villa how?

People saying he split the dressing room, is poison etc is daft talk and silly.

Will always be grateful to Tim for that Semi Final and keeping us up.

You'll always be grateful to Tim? Jesus. H. Christ. Get a grip.

Well he was partly responsible for the only bright spots over the last miserable 7 years or so.

He came in and did a good job in picking us up bearing in mind how dire we were under Lambert. He didnt seem to recover from that mauling we got down at Southampton. Not sure why he's still wobbling on about us though.

Probably because he gets asked questions by the press.

I absolutely agree but a manager (and he was a permanent manager, not a caretaker) who has kept a basket case of a club up and got them to a cup final is pretty much nailed on to be in charge when the next season starts.

Well yes, you couldn't really sack him after that.

I'm not sure he was asked at the Belfry which Villa player he'd like to tap up.

At least not until five months later obviously.

A bit OTT considering he's not even in a job.

The way our lot have performed in recent years if you asked a manager which Villa player he wanted to tap up he would just laugh and walk away.

Which makes saying he wants him even more bizarre. If he'd been asked "what young players do you rate" and he'd said "I really like Andre Green at Villa", that's one thing. Saying he wants to sign him is another.

Perhaps it was tongue in cheek?

I added a bit to my post. This is what he said, if he hadn't said the first sentence I doubt many would be bothered.

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.”

Just sounds like he's complimenting him to me. Nothing to get annoyed about anyway.
