tonyh29 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He kept us up when we were nailed on to go down and even got us a trip to Wembley ...... and then he got found out for the Charlatan we thought he might be but all in all I think we should thank him and wish him well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieVillan Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't have anything against Tim, in fact I desperately wanted him to succeed, because I love managers with personality who are entertaining. However, it clearly wasn't working, for whatever reason(s). Some of the comments about him are way over the top - he's failed as our manager, like so many others, he hasn't killed anyone. I have found that most of the media are sitting on the fence - "Tim hasn't been getting the results and Villa are in danger, but we don't really know whats going on behind the scenes, or who bought the players, so maybe its harsh to blame it all on Tim" - is an example of the kind of things I've heard and read from those who don't really have any ties to Villa. Its hardly mass condemnation of our board for sacking him.I have to say though - given that everyone is criticising Sherwood and the media because so many pundits are saying he's been sacked too quickly, I'm really surprised he hasn't given an interview to anyone today so that he can give his side of story. He doesn't strike me as the sort of bloke who is going to sit quietly and allow others to quasi-defend him. He will probably want to work again, and a failed 8 month spell at Villa is not great on his CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He's far from the worst manager we have ever had. In my time Lambert, McLeish, GT mk II were much worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't see how Lambert was worse, he had much tougher circumstances than Sherwood and he achieved the goals he was set by the board until he had to go. This season has been the worst managerial performance I have ever seen, every single aspect of Sherwood's performance has been embarrassing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I also heard the Paul Mortimer interview, quite by chance as I usually never have Talkshite on in the car (or anywhere).I thought it strange he referred to Villa as "we" and "us" like he was a club legend. He was pants and BFR soon shipped him out.Oh and his comments were rubbish too.paul mortimer? i saw the original post and assumed it was denniswho the **** is paul mortimer?

In my time Lambert, McLeish, GT mk II were much worse.He's worse than all of those. Easily.The only thing that's saved him is the fact we've got rid of him so quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Getting us to a cup final makes him better than the last 2 managers since finished in similar positions. Maybe if Lambert didnt bollocks up Bradford he might be ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 26, 2015 No chance. Lambert and mcLeish are managers. Sherwood isn't even that. He's a chancer. If I had to have one of those three back now Sherwood would be bottom of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He gave me the FA Cup Semi Final and kept us up when we were doomed. After Hull I was readying myself for the Championship. That alone makes him better than those two as AVFC manager. Overall manager? Hard to say. Sherwood did well at Spurs but Lambert did well with Norwich. Sherwood is no doubt a bit of a chancer but he produced when the other two didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReasonforRevolution Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 His statement has been released through the League Managers' Association: "I am very disappointed that I will not be able to carry on in my role as manager of Aston Villa. I knew when I took on the role that it would be a big challenge, but it proved to be one I greatly enjoyed and I know I have learned a lot from this experience. Obviously, the initial priority was to stay in the Premier League, but beating Liverpool in the FA Cup semi at Wembley and then leading the team out for the final was an achievement and experience that I will treasure for the rest of my career. I'd like to thank my coaching staff and the staff throughout the club for their dedication, the Villa fans for their passionate support and the players, who gave everything during my time at the club. I wish the club all the best for the rest of the season and indeed for the future." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 who gave everything during my time at the club[/quote] Really disagree and i think that been one of the most disappointing things about us this season, the games vs baggies and stoke, 2 teams every bit as poor as us but wanted the game more, vs chelsea playing well, as soon as they scored the heads dropped, we had no fight in us at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 He gave me the FA Cup Semi Final and kept us up when we were doomed.Doomed!!!! We were in the bottom 3 on goal difference and two points off 14th place. Hardly doomed. He's left us in a far worse position than the one he took over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the bottom 3 on goal difference and two points off 14th place. Hardly doomed. He's left us in a far worse position than the one he took over.That's true, but we hadn't won for months with Lambert, were barely scoring and the players had visibly given up. None of those things are visible simply by looking at the league table. Tim has left us in possibly an even worse position, but both have left the club in an absolute state. I can't wait for them to both be ancient history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't give two shits what he says when he eventually starts doing the media rounds as I don't value his opinion. Sorry Timbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'd say the last few performances were not as shit and awful as the end of McLeish and Lambert. Same results though so makes little difference. I don't hate him, but I hated Lambert and mcleish so I can understand why others do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for them to both be ancient history. I don't believe he's left us in a worse state at all. We are on a nightmare run, but in pretty much all games we played we have been in with a shout and they have generally been lost because a stupid mistake. We havbn't been outclassed our outplayed by anyone really, and while its clear confidence is low because of results, the team is still playing decent football at times. Christ we are scoring a few goals at least.Under Lambert we couldn't even create a chance, nevermind score a goal. The game at Hull was one of our worst performances ever. Its not comparable to the Cup Final, because Hull are not Arsenal.Also - we have loads more games between now and the end of January, so its entirely plausible that we might be out of the bottom 3 by then.
