dudevillaisnice Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 He pretty much confirmed what we already know. Tom Fox is now running the show here. Spoke to Randy briefly but Tom Fox is the main guy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jem Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Think the day's of rolling over at Villa Park are over for the immediate future,get the feeling from that interview that any team that comes to Villa Park this season are in for one hell of a game.Good luck to Sherwood,lets all hope the sleeping giant stirs from his slumber.

samjp26 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Talks a very good game but seems genuinely confident in what he is saying. With the decent squad Lambert has created, we now have a man who seemingly can motivate that squad, which in theory should get us up the table a bit. We'll see.

Demitri_C Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Agrees with Paul Lambert's statement about 13 cup finals - but says he wants 14 cup finals, the other on being the FA Cup. lOVE THIS good to see him taking fa cup seriously as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 There was a bit at the start too which hinted after this season there shouldnt be any more struggle as if something may be happening in regards to a takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted February 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2015 There was a bit at the start too which hinted after this season there shouldnt be any more struggle as if something may be happening in regards to a takeover. I thought that too, I don't know if it's just wishful thinking but he did say clearly that the short term goal is obviously keeping Villa in the PL, but long term the goal is to push on... I suppose this could mean towards a mid table finish... but I'd take solid mid-table to be honest, and build from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 No decision on backroom staff? Apparently he hasn't decided whether or not he will change the backroom staff yet - no word on the assistant manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 BBC WM had their own little interview with him, he said he went in at half time and told them don't be afraid to lose because if you wait for it, it will happen. Think he saw the side was very conservative first half and didn't like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well our first attack in the second half saw 6 players all in forward positions, completely different to the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ED Posted February 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2015 Watching the second half yesterday made me realise how timid they were under Lambert this season. Zero confidence, like frightened children. It was just awful. I'm pro Sherwood but I honestly believe this inanimate carbon rod could have improved us. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I listened to that and he's right there for sure, you have to take a few chances to win football matches and we were much better in that regard second half.

VillaCas Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Obviously as a Villa fan, I desperately want Sherwood to be a success. I was surprised when he got the Spurs job and very unsurprised when they ditched him at the end of the season. In my opinion, he is very very lucky to land the job with us given his huge lack of managerial experience, but he is here now and I will be getting behind him I guess one of my issues with his appointment was that he had always been one of those guys I hated as a player (a la Savage, Wise etc) and so it's difficult to make the transition to now he is managing my team, saying that, I could'nt stand Neville when he was at MU and now I think he is easily the best pundit on TV It will be vital that he can do what's required short term and long term. Short term, we have a decent squad who are underperforming - from what I can see Sherwood might well have the right mix of enthusiasm, confident, motivation and energy to ensure PL survival. If we do survive, the bigger job will be repeating the feat of recruiting decent players for low fees and building a squad capable of challenging towards the top of the table - we have no pointers as to whether Sherwood will be able to manage this or not I'm hoping that the identification and recruitment of our current squad was more to do with the scouting network and less to do with Lambert alone (although given the current economic state of our club I find it hard to imagine that we have in place a comprehensive and efficient scouting network) Hopefully the "Bright Future" is finally on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm hoping that the identification and recruitment of our current squad was more to do with the scouting network and less to do with Lambert alone (although given the current economic state of our club I find it hard to imagine that we have in place a comprehensive and efficient scouting network) I think it was much more to do with our scouting set up and people like Paddy Riley than Lambert. So i'm not concerned one bit that our transfers will move away from trying to bring in the likes of benteke, sanchez and gill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
