PieFacE Posted July 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17, 2015 I actually wouldn't blame him if he walked away. Not really sure why? He has a real opportunity now to bring a few players in and shape the squad how he wants it. Yeah it's rubbish that Delph has left, but he can be replaced. Benteke was always gone this year. That can't come as a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I actually wouldn't blame him if he walked away. Why? Until the U turn I'm sure he was resigned to losing both Delph and Benteke so nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 He must have known about both release clauses when taking the job on. He now has at least forty million to spend and create his own team with a blank canvas. #NoLose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I actually wouldn't blame him if he walked away. I think he could wave goodbye to his career if he did that. He's got a good opportunity here to build something. It's a tough job but he now has more leeway than any manager in recent years to shape his own squad. Just hope he has it in him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TRO Posted July 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2015 We have just lost 2 players from a team who have flirted with relegation for four years.....There are many ways of looking at it. The 2 in question might be amongst our better ones....but never the less they have been in those teams and their contribution both mentally and physically could not change those circumstances. The proceeds from those sales will give the manager a chance to mould his own team......and judging by past events, by god we need it. I see the activities of both players in these saga's and I am of the opinion that new players and a change of heart is where we need to be. What happens to them as a result of their moves I have no interest in....They played for us, got well supported, well payed and moved on.....I'm now only interested in those players who have intentions of playing for us. Am I bitter?, Haven't got the time or energy to be bitter.....just reserving my energy to supporting the new faces. I have read the comments of Fabian Delph and feel no reaction whatsoever, I don't wish him ill and don't wish him well.....He was just a player in the history of Aston Villa for me. now looking forward to the Manager spending the money well.....and building a team. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Don't be too surprised if Tim Sherwood has a hidden Agenda and is secretly pleased....apart form the Delph fee, which is regrettable. He watched the cup Final as well as we did. Edited July 17, 2015 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapbranny Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Were saints mark 2 they lost lallana lambert etc we can do it they were great this season. They had a much better side and spent wisely. We don't have a great track record so far with selling good players and replacing them with better. However sherwood was going on about getting rid of losers and bringing in winners, whilst I liked delph, his goal return and assists is not great, it's not too long ago people talked about him being a headless chicken, with a reckless tackle good for a fair few suspensions. We were rubbish with him playing so it's hard to see where he made the difference, didn't score many, assist many, or make us hard to beat. I would probably liked to have kept him still though. @Squawka: Fabian Delph made fewer successful through balls (2) the past 2 league seasons than: Phil Jones Lee Cattermole Shola Ameobi Mathieu Debuchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Tim Sherwood cannot change the feelings and mental attitude of Fabian Delph & Christian Benteke playing for Aston Villa.....They have been through the trials and tribulations of a troubled time with us and that may of played its part.....apart from the unadulterated lure of money. Ron Atkinson equally failed to convince David Platt to stay and subsequently used the 5 mill to good effect, as short lived as it was....it happens Perhaps the 2 were not having anymore jam tomorrow......their call.

foreveryoung Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The way I see it is Tim and all us fans saw a pretty poor Benteke and Delph in that cup final. We need players to fight for the cause, they very much dissapointed me in that game to the point where I thought we need players who want to be here.

Neil Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 What's this madness talk of Tim leaving, he's only been here 5 mins and has a job to do. He promised us if we stay up this season then we'll never be in that position again, I expect him to keep the promise....I trust in him too. Just hope randy doesn't go and screw it up, all the money please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 All managers must realise that players have their price. We're getting a fair deal for Benteke, Delph has trampled on the club but even then Tim can put a positive spin on it. Importantly he has a fair bit of money to spend and the club has scouted some seriously good prospects and seem to be attracting them before we even got the cash in our pocket. He has the opportunity to build something exciting with a clean slate. I doubt he is losing any sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I hope Tim's next interview contains a few choice words about Fibian's U-turn. There's no need to be nasty, but if he can carefully, yet professionally rip him a new one, I'll be pleased. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Both him and Wilkins spoke highly of Delph this week so they have every right to be very critical now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
