The Tim Sherwood Sympathy Thread

Obviously it's sad to see any manager lose his job and get a huge pay-off.
But with Tim Sherwood, there's something quite pleasing about it.

I just hope he's not seen as a credible replacement for Lennon should he walk out any time soon.

Looks like he will be on Al-Jazeera a bit more often now.

Another British manager gone.

his win record is second to none at Spurs.

Funny one about Tim Sherwood. He was so highly rated as a coach/manager even before he had even managed a club. He had a brief spell at Spurs as manager and looked very unconvincing to me, but clubs like WBA and Villa were desperate to get him despite his inexperience.

However, I think Villa have made a mistake. I think Villa are like Bolton with Lennon, there is nothing wrong with the manager, just both clubs don't have the players to compete. Villa had a crap team as it was and sold their best two players - Benteke and Delph. They also lost Vlaar. Sherwood had to rebuild a team with the proceeds. I don't think he did a bad job, but getting a whole new team to gel is going to take time. I really believe that Villa should have given Sherwood time, all managers can have a spell of bad results, it doesn't mean sack them.
