    New Director of Football Administration

    I think this was more the case the last time they came up and that last desperate winter window before relegation under Redknapp. They've been far more circumspect this time. After the Remy sale, a 6 million net summer spend, wasn't it? And nothing after relegation last season I think it is...

    The 2013/14 Playoffs Thread

    Exactly. Derby had all those corners, all that possession but it counts for nought if you can't finish in the manner that Zamora did. Sensational finish under pressure and when he wasn't expecting it to come to him.... and the small matter of it being worth about £50 million! :)

    There isn't. A vocal minority only. The vast majority will give Harry, Joe and Kevin a fantastic reception when they come to WHL next year.

    The 2013/14 Playoffs Thread

    Great that WHL next year will have the chance to thank Harry, Bond and Jordan (and Clive Allen) for the 4 years. And perhaps to make a point to Levy too. I know they got a good reception at QPR last year but they haven't been back to WHL since. Even if you hate Harry, it was a brilliant few...

    Overachievement, in the league and Champions League anyway (which seem the be all and end all these days) - as the last couple of seasons have painfully illustrated.

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. It really isn't. Players being openly critical of a manager and/or briefing to the press against the manager happens at every single club. Certainly with anyone relatively new in the job anyway. Happened to Sherwood himself. In...

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. Indeed. Just 14% would have him as manager next year. Feel the love!

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. In other words, he was critical off, and could spot an utter mediocrity a mile off. Hoddle and Hodgson really went on to show him, didn't they? He was away from the club between 2003-2008... quite reasonable he would have been...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. Winnable, yes. Moderate opposition? No. They're in the final, ffs! And Arsenal away, at that stage, was about the worse possible draw we could have got. We've won there once in something like 22 years and they were often not top of...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. Exactly. The whole TOP 5 improved to one extent or other. I mean, you would think it couldn't be anymore clear cut. Sherwood and AVB got a near half season each. They more or less played the same sides once each. Arguably AVB...

    Levy - End Of Season Letter

    Just as much a nod towards the AVB wins as opposed to the ones under Sherwood, I would have thought.

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. Absolutely right. Why wouldn't he be? He got 5th place results over 22 games but took over a struggling side. This is perhaps a bit too much. Fair comment would be that he would have got us challenging for 4th if he'd had the...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. This would be fair comment if he'd had the whole season. But taking over midway in 7th after 15 points in the previous 11, with confidence badly hit having just been beaten 0-5 at home....who was going to achieve anything...

    *** OMT Tottenham v Aston Villa ***

    Re: Your'e Getting Sacked In The Morning The clue was it happened right after the 2nd goal went in followed by 'We want our Villa back'.

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood…not treated with the respect a headmaster is. So Sherwood ends on: Played 22, Points 42, Goals For 40, Goals Against 30, Goal Difference +10. The points per game improved from 1.68 to 1.90. 63 points over a season versus 72 points over a season. Essentially we went from...

    *** OMT Tottenham v Aston Villa ***

    Re: Your'e Getting Sacked In The Morning It is Villa fans singing it at Paul Lambert. That said, it would probably be more accurate if it was Sherwood! Although Lambert must be fairly close to the exit door too.

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach Manager(s). Sherwood is still on 1.85 points per game for this season. AVB is on 1.68 points per game. So we're 6th more despite AVB than because of Sherwood. A true reflection of Sherwood's season would have been to be clear in 5th but still a few points off 4th...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach I can remember very few managers not deflecting defeats in one way or another. How many managers get sacked and then hold their hold their hands up and say 'I deserved it'? There are always reasons why. AVB was no different on that front either. And he was also...

    Tim Sherwood…gone \o/

    Re: Tim Sherwood - Head Coach When I say he wasn't a manager I'm talking literally, not about titles. It is a skill like any other and there is precious little evidence he has/had much of it. Possibly very good in other departments but it all counts for nought when you don't bring the players...

    Re: Do you want Tim Sherwood to stay as manager? Not to mention comparing last season's Liverpool, City and Chelsea with this year. Even Arsenal are improved, if only marginally so.
