brummie

Yes, you're right, it is, but you forget, these are the brainiacs who appointed Alex McLeish. Try and imagine if McLeish, with his tedious anti football had been Sunderland manager, and had got them relegated whilst acquiring a reputation as the most depressing, negative manager in the league. Then try and imagine you'd just finished 9th in the league after a very difficult season, but one in which you'd started to play some good football. And then imagine that McLeish had just got Sunderland relegated, literally a few weeks before, and you'd gone out and made him your manager. These are the fucking idiots we are lumbered with. We are basically fucked until these people go. I don't give a fuck how much money new owners have, I honestly do not, I just want them to have a. a brain and b. be prepared to not just throw their toys out the pram and fuck off home, taking the ball with them, at the first sign of things getting tricky.

He's an absolute bell end and I am aghast at his latest job, but really? Thoroughly reprehensible human being?

You broken Brummie? The parallels between us, sorry, the current NUFC incarnation and you are uncanny at the moment. I agree wth the sentiments that he will keep you up, but he seems thoroughly unlikable and this appointment seems rash in the least. Truly awful appointment. Basically, we are like you, in that until we get a change of owner, we are shackled to a world of mediocrity. I bet Lerner doesn't even know who Sherwood is. Awful appointment. He's like a mini Pardew FFS. This doesn't seem to be going down well with the fans. I give it less than a month till he starts putting his foot in his mouth, the dimwitted gobshite.

so how long until he rules himself out? Seconds, I hope. On the bright side, if he turned down QPR over personal terms, I seriously doubt he's going to like Randy's idea of largesse better than Tony Fernandes's

I watched our League and European Cup winning team get turned into a relegated side in six seasons. Mostly it was Ellis's fault, but to a large extend it was down to Graham Turner and Billy *spit* Fucking McNeill. When I see Sherwood I think of the arrogance of McNeill compared with the "out of his depth cluelessness" of Graham Turner.

If they appoint Sherwood, then to be honest, that's me finished with this club, at least until Lerner fucks off elsewhere. Absolutely fucking brainless. Strangely, over the last month or two on a few occasions, fans have posted pics of Sherwood at our games. It almost sounds like they're been actively grooming him. Which would be like plying Sonia from Eastenders with champagne all night in order to try to get in her knickers.

Pearson comes across as being mental. And not a nice, likeable, "oh, what you are LIKE?" kind of mental, I mean a proper "stabyourfacein" psychopath mental.

It is offensive bollocks. He has had almost zero stick at the actual matches for 2.5 years, until Hull the other night. It was the odd bit of post-whistle booing and a few chants a week or two ago. I struggle to think of a sacking in recent times which has been less about fan power. I would list the records for shitness he has broken (highest ever defeat, lowest points, longest without scoring etc etc etc) as reasons he's been sacked, but I've said it all before.

What? Benitez? You must be joking. I just think they can and will probably attract a good manager who will significantly improve them because their board will not restrict the manager's role as we do (and will pay more). As clubs, we should probably attract a similar profile of manager but given a choice, they will be a more attractive proposition. I only mentioned Benitez because it keeps being reported that he wants to come back to the Premier League and as far as I can see, his options of clubs are severely limited if that is the case and Villa like us should be challenging for the top 8 if they were being backed properly by their owner. Lerner interviewed Benitez after Houllier went (or was it McLeish, can't remember). It became apparent that Benitez was interested in the job (hence the interview), but was expecting loads more money to spend on players, hence Lerner cutting the interview short So, basically, no chance.

We have a squad which is far from earth shatteringly good, but is easily good enough to not be in the bottom six, let alone the bottom three. A decent manager would have ensured that. That's what has done for Lambert, it's nothing to do with failing to live up to the expectations of years gone by when we spent more money, it is the fact that he has not got anywhere near the best out of what he has for the last few years.

Hmmmm: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10265~3873528,00.html

He looked broken in his interview last night. I have very little sympathy for him, but I can see that it has all taken its toll on him. So I think you have nothing to worry about, he'll be needing at least a year off to get over it.

I think we need to make an interim appointment to keep us up, and then take it from there. Just removing Lambert from the mixture improves our chances.

*punches air* So proud, so proud. Even if you are prepared to overlook the many periods in his first two years when he should have got the bullet, this year alone he should have gone months ago. And, one thing I would like to point out, despite what the media might say about football fans being short termist or fickle, Lambert has had *immense* support since he has been here. At the end of his first season he had done badly enough to have fans on his back, but he had almost total support. It was genuinely only last night that the fans really turned on him. The first time we've seen a banner. And that is after him being here almost three entire seasons, managing us for 102 games and losing 51 of them. The bloke has had an immense, truly immense amount of understanding and patience, he really only has himself to blame.

I'd rather we just concentrated on staying up and then made a big decision in the summer. However, in the meantime, I am like this. http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/339790/david-pleat-o.gif

Savage gets himself all in a tizz trying to work out what to say to piss Villa fans off the most, the gigantic cunt.

No. Relegation is too much. We are at home to Leicester in the cup this weekend. I'd gladly get facefucked by them in that match if it meant getting shot. It is all immaterial anyway. He's going absolutely nowhere.

No chance. Untouchable. Even if we go down. To think, tonight was the first time the fans have *really* turned on him. Here's his record since September 20th: LLLLLLDDDWWLDLDDLLLLL (P21 W2 D6 L13; 8 goals for, 33 against). Staggering that he's still here. So at which point was the improved contract offered? Brummie can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it was after four games this season which went WDWW including a 0-0 draw against us. Even then, Villa only scored four goals in those matches 1-0-2-1 Yes, it was after four league games. We'd taken 10 points from 12, yes, but even then there were warning signs. As you said, we hardly scored, we played you at home and didn't have a shot on target, and we got knocked out of the League Cup to Leyton Orient (a game in which we failed to score). On the back of that, new four year contract. I can not believe what has become of Lerner. Four years of being very good, followed by 4, approaching 5 years of making Ashley look good. Honestly, I just can't believe it. It's utterly bizarre, like. Even more bizarre than Pardew hanging on for so long imo, as difficult as that is to comprehend. 12 league goals in 25 goals all season, man. He has spent most of this season doing a Pardewian thing of saying things which blatantly are not true. We'll get beaten by Palace and he'll say "I thought were were excellent", which he says after every match. Then he shrugs off defeats with "we pick ourselves up and go again". He basically has a little soundbite for every situation. Apparently at the match tonight our fans were putting them to song, singing "We pick ourselves up, we go again" to the Tom Hark tune, "I thought we were excellent" and "I can't fault the effort from the lads" (to the "what the fuck is going on?" tune). Sometimes I hate football managers. fair few managers guilty of that, Rodgers and Martinez more than most Thing is, it's difficult to say it and keep a straight face when you say it week after week, when you've just notched up your fifth consecutive defeat. If Lambert is still here come the weekend, I tell you this, sell everything you own and put it on us to go down. In fact, I'd be tempted to say put it on us finishing bottom.

That was utterly amazing. The best proof ever that you can have 70% possession all fucking night long but if you don't create chances, it's a waste of time. Last chance to pull the trigger on this bloke now.
