Sherwood given deadline as Villa line up former Liverpool manager as potential replacement

Aston Villa’s results in their opening eight games have been well below their owner’s and fans’ expectations after their impressive end to last season.

In the latter stages of last season, Tim Sherwood led Aston Villa to Premier League safety and an FA Cup final with an impressive run of victories. The English manager had the side playing an impressive brand of football with speedy wing play and a balance that had been absent from Aston Villa for many seasons.

Despite losing the key duo of Fabian Delph and Christian Beneteke in the summer, Villa invested in the transfer market bringing plenty of new quality to Villa Park giving an air of positivity amongst the Villa faithful.
