dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I'm with you on that. I think this squad we have is decent and a fresh approach is all we need to survive. I don't know if it could get fresher than Sherwood charging in. I don't think we'd see 4 cm players and then I don't think we'd see pointless passing football. It would certainly spark my interest again. 4cm players are too short for this level anyway I don't know. Gill is probably around 3.5 cm Is that net?

weedman Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I like the idea of Sherwood, it's a risk, but everyone is. The experienced managers out there either already have top jobs or have hit a ceiling where they can't get any higher. Short term that may get us out of a relegation zone, but long term we'd just hit the ceiling and cease to improve (I wouldn't say no to Fat Sam for example, but he's now playing exactly the same as MON did with us, you'd have to imagine his ceiling will be the same - Europa League spot) An unproven manager has no know ceiling, for all we know he could come in and get us Champions League next season, or of course he could be crap (far more likely), let's just wait and see before jumping to judgement eh?

Vive_La_Villa Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Not a lot wrong with that to be fair I enjoyed watching that more than every single press conference I saw from Lambert. I could understand him too. So if he does come at least we'll get entertaining interviews of nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 How he comes across in interviews has hardly any bearing at all on whether or not he's a good football manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Really don't want Sherwood. If he comes will obviously back him and support him. He is near the bottom of my list though and shows our one dimensional thinking if we hire him. Or our serious lack of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If he gets results then I really couldn't care less about what kind of bloke he is. This is the thing that suddenly dawned on me. He's not likable, but it occurred to me that I didn't care less about that when it came to Lambert. The last manager who managed to charm me was O'Neill. I didn't care either way about Houllier either, only that I was ok with the direction he was taking us on the pitch. Same with McLeish with regards the former if not the latter! It's all about the results. If that passion transfers onto the pitch then I'm all for it if it helps to generate performances. As for whether he's any good or not, he'll get the same chance as anyone else. I'll soon get over the £50 if he keeps us up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Pros and Cons of Sherwood:Pros. 1. He got Adebayor in from the cold at Spurs and got him performing very well under him which has been beyond plenty of experienced managers so no mean feat. So could be the man to revitialise Benteke.2. He promoted Bentaleb and Kane when no one had heard of them and both have continued playing well this season. If we're talking long term plans I think he can point to that and hopefully the likes of Grealish and Robinson can benefit in the same way in time.3. At Spurs he seemed to adopt a win or bust policy. They won plenty of games and got thumped a few times. I'm o.k with that, it's how we stayed up under Lambert in 12/13 and that's how we'll stay up this time as drawing grimly pretty much every game won't be enough imo.Cons.....what everyone else is saying on here and the main board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben1505 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Seeing as the whole club is a bit of a circus at the moment, and reality TV still popular, why not get 13 fans to take a game each until the rest of the season and let the public vote on who should keep the job? It might seem like farcical idea but Lerner might go for it, he appointed McCleish..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
