The Tim Sherwood Thread


OutByEaster?

There's no positive to relegation whatsoever. It would set us back years and would be a black mark on our history forever. Not just a disaster for the club but for football in general.

Footballs have lots of black marks

This is precisely the kind of over-emoting that gets tiresome. I mean, 'not just a disaster for the club for football in general?' What?

For those who want Moyes, Sociedad are not doing a lot better than we are this season.

For those who want Sherwood to stay, please note that we are currently 18th with 4 points and 4 points cut off from 17th place.

as near as dam it a 1/4 of the way through the season and 4 points on the board. Now it will not always work out this way but do the maths...

8, 12, 16.... if we go the same way a grand total of 16 points and boom...the chumpionship!!!! 

we have to do something different, because if we keep doing what we are doing now the inevitable is there for all to see.

Change for the better not for the sake of it

Ha, yeah if Football in General gave a flying **** about AVFC we'd win a few games every now and again surely.

Who said I was emotional? And even if I was, not sure how that would be tiresome to anyone other than myself.

So according to Collymore, Sherwood getting the sack would be an absolute joke. Laughable

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/tim-sherwood-getting-aston-villa-6654893

 

If Tim Sherwood gets the bullet from Aston Villa in the coming days or weeks it will be an absolute joke.

What’s blatantly obvious is that there are more than a couple of players whose recruitment he had absolutely no say in, meaning he’s being forced to stand or fall by other people’s decisions.

That’s a problem facing so many young managers these days, as more and more clubs add ever greater numbers to their management structures.

You can bet your life Sam Allardyce told Sunderland owner Ellis Short: “These are my salary demands and this is what I want – complete control over everything. Give me the money to let me do my job and leave me to do it. I don’t want or need layers and layers of management.”

Tony Pulis will have said the same when he took over at West Brom .

But, unfortunately, there’s a younger group of managers who have had their heads filled with the idea that the only way they can work is with at least five or six layers around them, including a transfer committee like the one Brendan Rodgers had to work with at Liverpool.

These set-ups can work at places like Bournemouth and Swansea, because there’s no real expectation from the fans.

But at the bigger clubs there will always be an expectation, which is why managers who take those roles on should be given carte blanche to live or die by their decisions.

Of course, your Jose Mourinhos, Arsene Wengers and Sir Alex Fergusons would have set-ups around them, but they would ultimately have the final say on everything.

Villa have brought in a director of football when club supremos Randy Lerner and Tom Fox should simply have said to Sherwood at his interview, ‘If we give you the backing to come in and buy all of the players you want, to train them, put in your own scouts, what will you do for us?’

If they had been satisfied with his answers they should then have given him the job and just let him get on with it.

nstead, we’ve got Aston Villa basically operating as a development football club, which they have never been in more than 140 years and, as a supporter, that’s embarrassing.

I don’t expect us to win the Premier League or be in the top four, but I do expect to be in the top half of the table competing, with good management, good backing and being run among those six or seven premium clubs as, for the most part, Villa always have been throughout their history.

I don't get the negativity towards transfer committees. Why is it so hard to understand that the 'football men' in the club have the expertise in the football side of things, and the 'business men' have the business expertise. For a successful transfer, someone needs to identify a need for a new signing, and then identify the player(s) that can fill that need. That's done by the football guys. The fee and wages then need to be negotiated to make sure the club don't pay over the odds for the player, that there's marketability if needed etc. That's the business guys. They all work together, to get a transfer done, so why not have a committee that discusses and identifies key targets? To me it makes perfect sense.

And like it or lump it Stan, but Bournemouth and Swansea are currently better football clubs than us.

I don't think there's any chance of Moyes coming here. We'll struggle to attract anybody proven with a decent reputation.

The only hope I have is that we tend to pay our managers very well, far more than they should perhaps be on therefore attracting someone of a higher calibre probably won't be an issue. Convincing them is another problem.
