ON THIS DAY
Tim Sherwood’s Villa lose for the sixth successive Premier League game and for the seventeenth time in twenty eight matches under his leadership.
As a result, Villa dropped to bottom of the Premier League table, four points adrift of safety with ten games played.
Villa had failed to win any of their five home Premier League games and lost to a Swansea City side without an away win in 2015-16.
After twenty eight games, Sherwood’s reign was over, and Villa, who already looked dead certs for relegation faced a totally unnecessary mid season upheaval that could have been avoided had the club used the summer to appoint a manager capable of turning Villa around.
Sherwood, with huge amounts of goodwill, had already presided over nine defeats in sixteen as interim boss and any objective analysis of his 2014-15 campaign would have finished it there with a huge debt of gratitude at a seemingly inevitable relegation avoided.
Villa under Lerner however were nothing if not lazy and would always take the easy way out regardless of the impact on the club.
The folly of such an approach was laid bare once again.
