kurtsimonw Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Seemed to speak highly of us to be fair. Could've easily just been negative and bitter about us. My dad said he celebrated when we scored as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could somebody enlighten me on what was being said/gesticulated pleased? One VT member has described it as 'embarrassing.' Interested to know what happened. Thanks Wasn't banter at all. The fans sang "Sherwood, give us a wave". He did. Then he walked over and got a standing ovation from almost every fan in the away end. I'm sure some fans were singing "Tim Sherwood is one of our own". Definitely no audible boo's or groans. If it was banter or irony it certainly didn't seem like that and Timmy definitely didn't think that. I thought it was embarrassing as well. I stood there in amazement shaking my head.

The round of applause he got from the Villa fans probably influenced his agenda for the day though.

Milfner Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 ^ Basically how I saw it. "One Tim Sherwood", a standing ovation etc. Got a better reception than when Gregory was on the pitch, ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I don't have no ill feelings towards him, he was pretty hopeless but he did give us some good times and helped get us to the final of the cup. the one nil at spurs was particularly satisfying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got treated like he was some sort of Villa great when in actual fact he contributed massively to the position we are currently in. As Milfner said, he got a better standing ovation than John Gregory did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A standing ovation...for Sherwood of all people? Christ, show some Class, give the man a round of applause if you wish but a standing ovation...Sherwood???

Hev Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I thought it was great. The singing was One Tim Sherwood etc and give us a wave - the he's one of our own was for Gregory - I did not hear that for Timmy. I was near the front and Tim was right in front of us. Gregory was in the centre of the pitch and was being interviewed by the QPR man - once finished, he got a rousing round of He's one of our own - so I would not say Sherwood got treated any better than JG . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy being treated better or not better than JG is only really an additional point. There's no way Sherwood took the applause he got as ironic and if it wasn't meant in that way then I find it ridiculous. If that had been Paul Lambert would have received that? I doubt it.

Can't even be compared. Sherwood, while shit, didn't ask to be sacked to get a pay out but not quit and didn't sign a long term deal after just asking to be sacked. He was a part in our downfall, Lambert got the unstoppable snowball rolling and was happy for it to head down at a troubling speed while waiting to be paid off. Lambert would rightly get booed to shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither deserve a standing ovation yet Sherwood got one. To me that is just ridiculous. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point about Lambert was that he is an ex manager just like Sherwood who contributed to our downfall. I'd expect nothing for Lambert and i'd expect nothing for Sherwood. I was stood amongst it yesterday. It was honestly baffling. I expected it to all be in jest, it wasn't.

Popular Post StefanAVFC Posted December 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2016 People were actually calling for Sherwood to come back when RDM was sacked. I'm a member of a few FB groups and many were calling for him on there too. Some of our fans aren't that bright. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 There is a reason he can't even get a job in the championship. If Tim wants to be a manager, he has to go down a few divisions or try his hand abroad somewhere. He seems to be a likable person who can motivate players, but if you have no shape, or tactical knowledge, your teams will struggle. When Tim first took over, we had a great run of results because we were using Lambert's tactics, but with a team that seem revitalized. Next season when Tim had his time to put his mark on the players, we struggle heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Sherwood got a manager bounce because he wasn't Lambert. Players were probably fed up with Lambert and just wanted to play for someone else. That wore out as Timmy were so tactically inept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
