pacbuddies Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'd be interested to see how many CV's Fox received for the job because if Sherwood with 28 games in charge of a club was the best candidate I can only imagine he was also the only applicant .... I'm wondering if there was any applicants at all, if the position was ever even open. From the time of sacking Lambert, and getting a new manager in...surely the vacancy couldn't have been open long enough for people to actually apply? It's something that gives me a glimmer of hope, that there was maybe some greater plan that we're not aware of to all this. "unbelievable" levels of interest, according to our CEO I fired off a letter and my CV but apparently I was too ambitious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 We really need to win Saturday. I'd be very happy with just one point away at Newcastle. I'd definitely take only our second point of 2015 yes. I was thinking more from a support angle, you can already sense a shift ready to happen at any moment, either way.

"unbelievable" levels of interest, according to our CEO I think Tom Fox is very comfortable in front of a reporter and will say whatever he wants to make Aston Villa appear in a more positive light. This could have been the truth, but it depends on what you'd consider "unbelievable" levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recircle Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Look, Tim Sherwood should really have made sure he was in charge of Villa for more days than he has been. It's the 25th of Feb, and he's still only been boss for eleven days. It should be double that, by now. What's going on?? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *understand* it, but it's wrong. It's too late for boos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Sherwood would have loved a transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I still can't believe he went 4-4-2 against Stoke. Football isn't really that difficult. Sticking your 4 average midfielders against their 5 average midfielders will generally result in your midfield being overrun. The early signs of Sherwood don't look good, i'm not shouting "Sherwood Out" or anything, it was just a baffling decision. Of course it's 'difficult', it's a zero-sum game.

Demitri_C Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 i doubt it why wait when lambert was killing us i think the real reason was they were really hoping lambert would turn it around so lerner didnt have to dip into his pockets to sack him. he should have gone after that QPR game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Maybe he was being lined up for a different role at the club (Temp Assistant ?). But after the Hull game decided fire Lambert and so give Sherwood his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sherwood was lined up weeks before Lambert got sacked "apparently" So i doubt nobody else was even considered A tad short sighted.

VillanousOne Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 It's hard to be optimistic, the performance against Stoke was so awful, cept for maybe Sinclair. you just have to hope that Sheer Wood has had enough time on the training ground to at least assess what/who works and what doesn't even if he can't really expect to improve the misfiring players yet. at the moment even though points are what we need, you'd probably take 'any signs of improvement' any 'seeds of hope that suggests something can change' doesn't mean it will be enough to survive. Every season I have been a Villa fan, you always have moments where players show some sort of form however brief, or luck goes with us. This season we have had crap players being dreadful, mediocre players being crap and our good players being mediocre. Add to that ridiculous refereeing and red cards, and the sort of luck that will ensure any clearance, shot or 50/50 rebound will end up in our net or at the feet of the opposition. Sheer law of averages and betting odds alone has to dictate that some of our players find some kind of form. We usually unite with criticism being specific, criticism that changes game to game. 'if only our defence could defend set pieces' 'if only our midfield could score goals or set up goals' 'if only our strikers could score' 'If only we could take good set pieces' Whereas this season its a collective statement: 'if only any player, tactics, coaching, management.... in fact any aspect of our team could achieve/excel in any single thing they are paid to do' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This season we have had crap players being dreadful, mediocre players being crap and our good players being mediocre. Great way of saying what I usually use about 100 words too many trying to get at. Although thinking about it I should personally add 'underrated players proving me wrong' just for Hutton.
