For once, I actually called something correctly and Tim Sherwood has been confirmed as our next manager.
I gave my reasons as to why I thought he might be the choice in the previous post, so I won’t go over that again.
What’s surprised me though, is how fast the deal has been done and I’m actually quite impressed.
There are two options as to how we’ve gone about things, in my opinion.
We’ve either panicked and done it all in what? two days?
Or this has been planned for a while and Fox has been negotiating with Sherwood quietly behind the scenes.
I suspect and hope it was probably the latter, although I can’t say I’d be pleased if that’s the way we go about business, ie doing a deal behind Lambert’s back. But this is Football and the whole game seems to have a different set of rules, doesn’t it?
So there we go, Sherwood it is then.
It’s good that we’ve appointed him before tomorrow’s game against Leicester, as I was quite prepared for us to lose, so we could concentrate all our energy on the league. Now that we have a manager though, my attitude has changed and I want us to go all out to win the game.
I won’t say it’s a stunning appointment, but I do think it’s a decent one, given our current requirements. Let’s hope Sherwood can hit the ground running eh?
I think we can expect some fireworks in the next few weeks, as it would seem he doesn’t mince his words, which is probably why some people dislike him with a passion.
Personally, I think this is exactly what’s needed, as many fans, even neutral ones, think that our team ought to be performing better than it is in reality.
Which to me says that certain players are far too comfortable.
I really don’t care who he falls out with, as long as he keeps us up.
Survival this season is all that counts for me and if he proves overly troublesome, we can sack him at the end of the season, even if it costs us three and a half year’s wages.
It’ll be pennies in the scheme of things. As long as we survive relegation.
Welcome aboard Tim and good luck.
I suspect you’ll need it.
Started better. Not playing so deep or with terror on the players faces.
VP empty. Anyone know the attendance?
The same players who obviously have not realised that Lambert has gone. This is where Sherwood comes down from the stand into the changing room and asks “who wants to play for ASTON VILLA”
I hope Sherwood has a half time pep talk FFS
If the chuckle brothers selected the team with tips from Lambert, what do you expect?
The entire back room team needs changing.

this is worth signing…
I’m well unimpressed by VILLA
It’s gone flat again. Same old same old I’m afraid. I bet the players are looking forward to Monday morning…Needs a big shake up.
Benteke got no chance marked by 2 men, shame we aren’t clever or good enough to get around that.
Scott Marshall is our current boss for the game… He is following Lambert’s orders. Lambert never realized how to change it so how is Marshall supposed too?
Leicester are better organised.
Nigel Pearson is a better manager than Marshall/Lambert is. Sherwood definitely needs to make an appearance in the 2nd half.
As a playmaker????? As I said, he needs a backroom team asap…
Haha, Playmaker, winger, doesn’t matter really?
He definitely needs a backroom team quite soon. Hopefully he’ll have one before next weekend.
Benteke offside? I’M SHOCKED.
Always offside first thing Sherwood needs to work on with him
Now did Sherwood go to the changing room or has he gone home for his dinner
Probably gone to top himself on thia showing!!!
Tim Sherwood leaving a couple of minutes before the end of the half. Hopefully to the dressing room! We’re dire to watch
Just awful never knew we were this bad
haven’t you watched any games this year then
Just confirmed he is in the dressing room. We’ll be good to see if there any diffrence 2nd half
will be*
We can’t pass hit a long ball as for this keeping possession forget it,we’re a team lacking any confidence.just heard Sherwoods in the dressing room thank FUCK.
This is a perfect chance for Sherwood. Not one person can disagree with him that the standard of play by alleged professionals is not good enough. He will have their full attention and he had better tear their arses off. Nothing less will do.
I hope Sherwood is in that dressing room right now putting a rocket up those players arses.
Absolutely shambolic.
oohahahpaulmcgrath
benteke playing up front service is like something out of faulty towers villa attacking midfielders don t exist
Delph should of buried that header jeeeezzzz
Savage do us a favour, please f88koff and die, how much does he hate the Villa?
My thoughts exactly what a wanker
He’s about as impartial as Hitler.
So Delph screwed up, did anyone count the SIX Villa players either in or just outside of the box???!!!
New instructions?????
And again…flooding forward…! 🙂 Better!!!
Weimann lacks composure, needs to stop snatching at everything.
Weimann needs benching.
That would’ve worked if Delph could actually shoot, which he can’t.
As Sherwood doesn’t like holding midfielders, is that Delph,Cleverly and Westfood buggered???
Delph and Cleverley probably not, as they do have the legs to get forward with 1 covering and vice versa, but that’s definitely not Westwood’s game so he’s probably in trouble.
Roobie Savae: Top draw c*nt
Fucking YEEEESSSS! Bacuna
BACUNA!!!!!!!!! 1-0
FUCKING YES!!!!!!!!!!!
