His first summer's business looked fantastic by the way the end of his first season. Lowton, Westwood and even Sylla were all playing very well. We were playing really good football tooThat following summer almost every buy was poor, and the style changed to a much more dour and combative style. Lots of players didn't progress or went backwards. We got more and more defensive over the next 18 months. Then he completely lost it and decided we could play a slow possession game with zero creative players, which was just never going to work By the end the squad was clearly under achieving as Sherwood proved pretty immediately
he just about avoids being placed in a pantheon of Villa shysters and charlatans for the sole act of bringing Benteke to the club - which kept him and us from being swallowed whole for three years.
...Grant Holt.

Surely enough time has now past we can have a clearer perspective of him?Kept Norwich, us*, Blackburn & Wolves all up. Survival specialist on a budget? Was brought in to do just that?
A lot of people bought into the young and hungry, give him time bullshit. Believing what they want to believe rather than the proof of their own eyes, which was that we were shit in almost his entire reign give or take a period of about 9 games.
