HanoiVillan Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He hasn't actually signed a player before has he? Wonder what the policy will be in that regard. Did he sign christian Erikson or was in charge when they signed him? Edit - no he didn't. Thought they signed eriksen in the January window when Sherwood was in charge You have sort of got the story - Sherwood claims (and as far as I know, it's never been denied) that he recommended Spurs sign Eriksen several years before they actually did. Not that it took a genius - even I knew Eriksen would be a superstar based on watching him playing a couple of times, and I know nothing - but better to do it than not.

NSmith22 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I reckon Sherwoods first team will look like this.. -----------------------Guzan--------------------- Hutton--------Okore--------Baker---------Ally Cole----------Gil------------Delph--------Jack -------------Weimann-----Benteke------------ he'll sit down and talk with Vlaar and ask him if he wants to be hereof leave. strange looking side but hell definitely do something no-one expects. Clark deserves to be in there. He always puts in 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I dont think its the right call but hes here and so he now has my backing. First job is obviously survival. Second job is getting a proper structure in place and actually trying to move away from relegation scraps, of course we have to survive this one first.

Nicho Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Does Sherwood have his Pro License yet? Did we just appoint a man not qualified (in the most basic sense) for the job? From this article written by Sherwood in October: I am on the same Uefa Pro License course as Swansea manager Garry Monk and we have discussed Tom [Carroll]. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tim-sherwood-people-knock-young-english-footballers-but-the-under21s-showed-theres-talent-here-they-just-need-to-be-given-a-chance-9802904.html Thats a good article and reinforces the good feeling I have about Sherwood. Gives hope that in the future if given any money he will go out and purchase some bright young things with technical ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Absolutely thrilled by this appointment Welcome Tim Captained a team to an unexpected PLT in 95 so knows what it takes to win against the odds Also don't underestimate his working knowledge of how the current youth structure in the English game is stacked - who's decent... Who's available and when... Especially within the top tier (Chelsea have a 70 strong youth setup) Also it's easier to motivate and coach younger players. Think how motivated this guy is compared to some of the old hacks - I'm afraid looking at the likes of big Sams tired pained expressions would hardly inspire me... But in reality completely understand the difference of opinions on here after how things have unfortunately panned out. If he keeps us up it will be no mean feat and who knows maybe with the new sky deal and TF's focus on selling the brand we may yet see a revival in RL's enthusiasm and a more balanced allocation of funds - something similar to the Stoke model ? Listen - the guys here, for how long who knows... We'll all be here long after that's for sure but I'm going to really get behind him UTV Very good post mate. You should post more often. Agree with both posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It should be interesting to see how we line-up now. I don't think goals will be an issue with Sherwood. He likes to attack, but that might put pressure on our defense so hopefully they can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Think he could go for first team vs Stoke Guzan Hutton Vlaar Okore Cissokho Sanchez Delph Grealish Gil N'Zogbia/Sinclair Benteke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Again I agree with pretty much all he says. Spot on commdnts about players...its exactly whats needed at VP to deflate a few egos! To be fair, a lot of our players need a kick up the arse and maybe Sherwood's approach will bring the best out of them. My only concern is that he alienates a few and they completely down tools. We haven't got the amount of quality in our squad that Spurs have, to replace any of the bad eggs. If he can motivate them into playing better then we have a good chance of staying up and being more secure going forward.

Xela Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Does Sherwood have his Pro License yet? Did we just appoint a man not qualified (in the most basic sense) for the job? I believe he Is in the final stages of getting his A license. Not that having these qualifications mean anything at all. i guess not. regardless of qualifications, i don't like him, i don't trust him, and i don't want him at this club. bah. i've got drinking & self-pitying to do. You don't like anything though? Apart from self loathing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Who's he bringing with him? Surely the club are going to allow him an Assistant at least Andy Gray's son tweeted that his dad is currently with Hoddle in Doha (where he works for beIN) and that "enquires have been made". It would tally with the Sun article I suppose. Looking on the comments underneath the tweet I think he meant that he himself (Jamie Gray) has enquiries and not Villa.

Harry Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 He hasn't put out a team for Villa yet. He hasn't selected tactics for Villa yet. He hasn't trained the Villa squad yet. Anyone who thinks that we're guaranteed relegation because we signed Sherwood needs a bloody slap. Give him a p*ssing chance before you write him off. If he is crap, it'll come out. If he's brilliant, he'll show it. Just get behind the guy and don't predict an unpredictable outcome. ****ing mood hoovers. Great post mate, spot on. There were some crazy expectations from some about the sort of manager we could attract and even more helpfully they are writing him off before he has even started.
