He mentioned Villa asked him to come and "present" which is nice.
It's not as though we went chasing him begging to him to join.
He said something like "Fortunately, they liked what I had to say".
So, despite his clear lack of experience, it sounds as though Fox wanted to talk to him and see what he thought of him.
Sherwood is an overly confident man and a bit of a dick, but sometimes when people believe their own hype as much as he does, things just come off for them. Hoping the Villa job will be one of them.
