Zatman Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I don't doubt he'd be popular among the media or the fans but the media and the fans don't pick the manager. Just like Harry Redknapp would have been loved by the media (if not all fans) and he was avoided by the FA for the far safer Woy. They haven't changed in years. They avoided Clough for the same reason. Mentalists. To an extent I think the media and the fans help to pick the manager. The pressure for an English manager after Capello seemed to largely stem from them, for example. I agree Mantis I think the media and fans do have a impact on who the FA go for. Candleface was really disliked, I dont think Sherwood is from the same mould thankfully When was the last time the National side had a youngish englishman? dont think I have seen one in my time McLaren was 45 when he got the job. Sherwood is 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciggiesnbeer Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 He is too good to be associated with the crapshow that is the England national team. After he had led us to Champions League victory is when he can rest on his laurels and go waste his time managing England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted August 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2015 There's a picture of him at Molineaux last night, a swoop for Austin maybe? Or sorted his ticket before Wolves statement on Afobe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 There's a picture of him at Molineaux last night, a swoop for Austin maybe? Or sorted his ticket before Wolves statement on Afobe? Statements don't mean that much anyway, WBA say Berahino isn't for sale, but I reckon he has his price, same with John Stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 He's older than Lambert by a few months... Sherwood has the vitality of someone half his age though Lambert was a mumbling defeatest loser that had the demeanor of someone spending their final days at a retirement home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Hate to step back on topic here, but anyone have a list of players in their last year of contract? Think it's pretty telling already this season who Tim rates given the long contracts dished out to bacons, Clarke and Westwood. Just wondering if there's anymore that are likely to get renewed in the next few weeks? EDIT that should obviously be Bacuna.... Not bacon. Although not sure which I prefer tbh Edited August 20, 2015 by Duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 First Team: Bennett Cole Nzogbia Senderos Gardner Richardson (option of further year) Youth Team: Seigrist (option of further year) Donacien Calder Sellars Mason Cowans Leggett Watkins Kinsella Webb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 off hand think Bennett, Cole, Richardson and Senderos out of contract next summer and Zog too no messing in fairness regarding contracts from Sherwood and Fox now. No more Milner situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
