Premier League Thread

Your right it will be interesting. Pretty much a novice taking on a totally different kettle of fish to what he had at Spurs. He'll certainly have to hit the ground running at a massive club on the edge of the abyss.

 

Sherwood isn't a bad manager.

 

Hard to judge him with no real track record...Villa had to act fast but unfortunately for them there was not many established managers out there available...appointments of Pulis and Pardew for there respective clubs will probably do the trick. Sherwood certainly hasn't got their experience but saying that Villa should have enough quality in their squad to stay up.

 

Well his stats at Spurs are actually pretty good. He was also quite ballsy in the way he managed. Honestly, I thought he was a breath of fresh air. There is one thing though, he'll certainly provide interesting pre and post match interviews, because he is a bit of a loose cannon gob wise, but there's nothing wrong with that. Brian Clough was also one and if Sherwood turns out to be half as good as Clough he'll be fine.

 

Didn't like Sherwood's style in interviews of publically blaming players. Once perhaps after a particularly bad performance, but not as often as he did and not specifically naming them. Suggested all wasn't well behind the scenes. However, he could turn it round for Villa...they have a reasonable run out (especially at home).

Unusually, I don't really have a list of teams that I want relegated (especially now Harry has left). Feel sorry for the lot of them.

 

Nobody knows either way really. You can say he's been a good coach in a coaching team, but now we'll see what he is like as a manager if he is there fo more than 6-12 months.

If they go down, people can't turn round and say "see he's a bad manager" if they are saying "you can't say he's good because of what happened at Spurs, it was someone else's team"

Villa is someone else's team.

One thing for sure, he'll come across in his interviews in his usual endearing manner.

 

The other side of the coin......Barry Fry..

 

Well no. I think he did pretty well at Spurs, but I don't think I would want him as my manager long term. We'll see if he lasts any longer at Villa.

 

Danny Ings with David Moyes.......hmmmmnnnn

Won't be coming here in the summer by the looks of it

 

From what I've seen from Sherwood at Spurs, from team selection to tactics, didn't impress me at all. I though it was a work of an amateur, to be honest. Though it was a too small of a sample of matches to give a definitive verdict about Sherwood. So I'm waiting to see whether he will confirm my initial judgement of him.

Interview with Chambers in which he talks about the help he got from SRL when he was Rickie's bootboy. He thinks it is good for a youngster's development, even when most clubs have stopped using bootboys. He was shocked to be asked if Lambert was a good tipper...Can't answer that...it is between the player and the bootboy. Good lad.

 

I have read in several places that the accident on the motorway yesterday where 3 people died, were west ham fans on their way to the west brom game......
R.I.P

Comparison between Leiva and Clyne (amongst others). Leiva said to be better...lucky he's out injured then.

 

We are all just one step away. Very sad.

 

It's Tim Sherwood of Aston Villa, last time I looked at the name. Not the director of football at Peterborough United.

 

Not sure how can compare Lucas and Clyne when they play in totally different positions.

 

Pretty tempting offer Moyes has apparently put to Ings, 60 grand a week plus 40% of his next transfer
Can not match that

 

Well I'll spill the beans.... Kenny Swain was a good tipper

(That'll test some memory banks - European Cup winner too)

 

Oh I don't want him as our manager and I am not a fan; just tying to ignore the personality stuff and go on what he did briefly and his previous reputation as a coach.

 

I think a few more of our players should try playing abroad...great experience. He's still young enough to return here later in his career.
