The biggest hole I can see in the argument is that everyone has to eat, but not everyone has to kill somebody. Ban guns and you're taking away the ability to kill. Ban forks and you're just being a bit of a tosser, really

Player recruitment is the one thing that's gone right since the Liverpool FA Cup SF imo. Paddy Reilly for manager.

You just know he'll step up a few gears as the four years runs out and end up with a new contract. Maybe even at Aston Villa if we're that stupid.

Understatement award of the day. We let him off playing the Zog last season (even though the guy was every single bit as pointless as ever) because Tim had just kept us up. We've now signed twelve players, many of them for a similar fee to what we paid for Zog. Every one of those players has shown himself at least capable of retaining possession, and is therefore an instant upgrade on Charles. If Tim is really even considering playing Zog ahead of our new signings it's more than "a bit desperate" imo. It would be more like an act of such glaring and monumental stupidity that it ought to disqualify the manager from ever working in football again. There.

N'Zogbia will get picked and spring to life, knowing his contract is running out. He will turn things around for Timmy Two Games and play magnificently until some time in February, when the club reward him and Tim with handsome new contracts. Later that afternoon N'Z suffers another penis injury and is unable ever to lace on a pair of football boots for the rest of his luxurious days. Aston Villa are relegated as the loss of an in-form Zog unmasks the glaring managerial deficiencies.

I think its personal for poeple if they think he can turn it around, like maybe they feel a little sorry for him. The more I think about it, the more I think its like the McLeish appointment, as in not really thought out. I mean, what were the board thinking bringing a inexperienced manager into one of the hardest managerial jobs in the league. We are now bringing experience in at board level, an then we decide to bring in a manager who has hardly any experience of first team management. How they didn't see through him at that interview I do not know. I have interviewed many a applicant and can see through all the bullshitters almost straight away, Sherwood im afraid, is one of them! It wasn't as though they were queuing around the block for the chance to relegate Aston Villa. We needed a new manager bounce, and from the pool of no-hopers we picked the mouthiest one. It worked. Now time to find someone a lot better.

I imagine them at meetings together reading all Tim's latest quotes with their heads in their hands. And hopefully a phone in at least one of them.

I don't think relegation would be a good thing at all, but PM is far from the only one to suggest that it might be okay/what we need.

plenty on here have always maintaned a healthy skepticism about Fox He seems perfectly fine to me so far. Let's judge him on who he brings in, and how soon: If Sherwood survives more than two more defeats now, the """" is taking the piss.

Ok. Tbf my link to the Daily Heil article led to a main page offering salacious gossip about, and photographs of, well-known large-breasted and/or rich people.

I'd say it just because I like you so much <3 <3 <3

No kidding. I've taken slight liberties with the paraphrasing, but... "We don't have any creative players unfortunately, just this worthless shower of cloggers that poor old me has to try and manage". "These aren't actually the players I was really wanting to sign three months ago, but I guess I'm stuck with them and will take full responsibility 'cause that's the kind of guy I am".

There aren't any, theyr're all crap, we're screwed and the Venutians have just invaded. Save yourselves.

Short for Tactics Jeremy

This is where I am , its so infuriating to see other clubs taking action - whilst our 'fantastic Mr Fox' doesn't have a clue what to do....... We don't know this at all. For all we know he's very much on the case. The TT team's body language makes me think he might be.

I wouldn't put much stock in what Woodward coaxes out of a player on AVTV.

Patronising, but true

He doesnt look like he wants to be there. narrow it down , which one are you talking about? Well, for me Wilkins is in the clear here, having taken the time to tilt his head fractionally to the right and wear an expression that suggests he's considering the idea of raising one eyebrow slightly.

"An admittedly short journey" as per Awol on the previous page

My theory about Carles Gil is that he and the management team hate each other, and Gil is just biting his tongue and biding his time until they go, which he knows they will. Gil was flying when TT arrived, and my guess is he was a bit too cocky in training, which got TT's back up and made him determined not to see the obvious fact that he's an excellent and vital player for us.

Trial-and-error is a perfectly good way to work out which is your best team. As long as you play against exactly the same side every time.

The good news is that he won't last longer than the manager.

Kinda ironic sig you have there VC. Also this sentence is a bit self-contradictory. You're a riddle wrapped in an enigma today :)

Come now. If our squad was as bad as that there'd be no point getting rid of Sherwood. IMO it isn't and there is. They'll give him two more games max, but they'll be looking for someone else already. Pleez jeezez.
