[Archived] Bowyer Sacked

[Speedie Dived]

Lambert had an even worse record at Villa than Sherwood, but some fans won't touch the latter with a barge-pole?

Yeah, I know.

He did. But he had a promotion under his belt and a v good Norwich side. Sherwood is and was a fruit and veg man.

Yeah, I know.

People are judging Lambert on his other jobs, rather than just Villa.

Sherwood has half a season at Spurs (where his contract wasn't renewed) and other than Villa that's it. If the general agreement is that experience is needed then picking Lambert over Sherwood is pretty logical.

What's Tugay done as a coach to impress you.?

He was Mancini's assistant at Galatasary. I'm not saying he should be the new manager but I think it'd be a decent move to have him on the coaching staff...just a personal opinion. Always good to have someone who knows what it's all about around the club, hey ho.

Yet again Abbey you jump in before reading MY COMMENTS from Saturday from here.

I said on Saturday It was time for a change and I was bored at the game on Saturday.

read the forum before slagging me off

The timing of your announcement is very interesting. I suspect you were tipped off!

When Chaddy turns his back on a manager, you know something's terribly wrong.

Ha ha, this is when this forum is at it's best. Genuinely funny and all on the same side.

Chaddy is like a Roman Emperor. He called it.

Lambert is a top manager, did well at Wycombe, jumped ship from Colchester to Norwich though earning the canaries two promotions Villa is a basket case club, he's articulate and has bags of experience as a player, he could turn out as good as souness

Endgame.

I do believe that when they first took over the club they got rid of every single person that knew anything about football and the running of a club....

Caveat on Lambert, he is an arsehole with the local and national media. Doesn't bother me but don't expect much in that department.

True but Bowyer has been sacked !

[Speedie Dived]

True but Bowyer has been sacked !

And it could get worse....

[Rover_Shaun]

And it could get worse....

Bowyer was inevitably taking us to league one so even if we still end up there we'd still be slightly better off without his positive negativity

[AJW]

Think there's better out there than Lambert , Pearson Warbuton and Moyes come to mind but would they honestly come here ?? Lambert does tick a lot of boxes for a lot of people and like a few have said the Pre-Villa Lambert was very highly rated , Sherwood and Jokanovic imo would be worth interviewing Alan Stubbs and JFH have done very well also just not sure they're what we really need right now... no thank you Holloway and Davies

I don't think anyone would get this current side promoted, we're simply not good enough, lacking in most areas.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I can see more of the same.

Pearson or Warburton could get more out of the team for sure.

I agree regarding promotion this season, but if any manager comes in and gets the team on an upward trajectory then it gives hope that with a full pre-season of wheeling and dealing to fill in the missing holes 2016/17 could be a real promotion push

I am with you Gav. We love and support the new gaffer, but we need more quality.

Shocked and amazed they've acted, a little bit sad for Bowyer because he's been here so long, done some vital work in his early stint as manager and I think most of us wanted him to kick on and do well.

Being realistic though he's a big boy and knows what it's all about and he'll have done his profile and bank balance no harm at all but it was for the best before it decended into a real mess with the fans. Sadly the time was last Christmas as I'm convinced a good change then would have seen us in the play offs. Don't think we'd have gone up but it would have given us something to build on this season.

A new manger and whole new backroom staff should give the players a kick up the ass.

[Speedie Dived]

Always bit wary on journos putting forward one manager (Lambert) and increasing the price of another to get it. There is zero value now in Lambert getting it, however if someone comes from nowhere over the next few days then someone will make some brass.

[T J Hooker]

Holy mackerel!!! Ive only just read the new currently in a happyshock

Jokanovic, lambert or moyes are the obvious preferences, but really i just hope they get it right and hire a legit manager, im not expecting miracles from whoever comes in just want somebody that knows what hes doing and we can all get behind.

But a decent manager would have got last seasons(and maybe the season befores) squad seriously challanging for tge play offs at least, bowyer wasnt even capable of that.

Anything possible i this league. 3 or 4 back to back wins and you would find yourself 4 - 5 points outside the play offs. All about belief and momentum.
