smetrov Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 so you think he should sack Sherwood after 2 games? not really sure the point you are trying to make or you just want to be proven right about him I have no problem with Sherwood - I am sure he is doing his best I have real issues with those who saw him as the answer - and even then missed out on his coaching staff If your impressed with Tom Fox - fine - for me has got some massive and crucial calls 100% wrong - and I am sorry but at CEO level of a multi million business, you have to get those right, and are accountable if you get them wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yep, if Sherwood is the answer, I worry what the question is. For him to be the only answer too, and the only person we spoke to.. well, it seems we have another naive person running the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Don't worry we will be in Europe in 3 years time. I always believe in what the Lerner board tells me. Like we would marketed worldwide at the same level as Arsenal and Manchester United. And have world class players in the claret and blue. And we will have a new North Stand. Oh....

VillaGoMarching Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Yet another lesson learned for a rookie ceo at Villa, trying to keep faith with Lambert will ultimately cost us our premier league status. It's that rather than hiring a rookie manager in Sherwood which is the key. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like saying Dick Advocatt was the only choice for Sunderland. We will never know to be honest. I'll never be able to prove to satisfaction that other managers were available.

I think it unlikely Sherwood was anything like the ONLY choice though. Do we really want to do this debate? Like I said when we appointed Sherwood, there were dozens of other managers available. This myth that Sherwood was the only manager available is just that, a myth. The only difference in my opinion now is that I used to use that point as a negative against the appointment. Now it's looking like a huge positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying I think Sherwood was the obvious and easiest choice There were other options available however I dont believe we explored any of them. I firmly believe Fox wanted Sherwood in and wasn't even interested in anybody else or even bothered trying to get anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweldon1 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 After having spoken to him before, he sounds really excited by what he can do with the potential on offer at Villa. Sherwood was definitely risky but its brought so much feel good factor to the club that even fans of other teams who wanted to see us relegated at Christmas are actually glad we seem to be on the up. I am excited about next season (With a sneaky European adventure thrown in) for the first time in years and I think Fox has a lot to do with that! *First post so be gentle! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Whether Tom Fox looked at 200 managers or only looked at Sherwood doesn't matter. What does matter is he gets the choice right and so far that seems to be the case. Personally I believe he looked around for a plan B in the case of PL not working out and with time constraints knowing any change would have to be swift. So I believe he's done everything correctly. What will stand him out and enhance his reputation is getting big sponsorship deals and the continued success of Sherwood. To me he seems a smart operator and when he's talked about us has set out a proper plan of what we want to achieve and more importantly how we will. Things are finally looking up enjoy it whilst we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
