Aston Villa are set to target Real Sociedad boss David Moyes as a replacement for manager Tim Sherwood. (Times - subscription required)

Imagine having two cracks of the managerial whip and not getting past month seven* in either role. It couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

* football months (not calendar months**) for added hilariousness.

** thinking about it, it's not even double digits when it comes to calendar months. Ha!

Both Villa and Sunderland seem like clubs where there is an underlying problem which goes beyond who is the manager. Been punching below their weight for a long time.

In that regard I feel sorry for Sherwood as I don't feel he got a fair crack at Spurs and now he's getting stick for things which I suspect are not wholly his fault. He's still a young manager and should be learning things from his experiences.

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood says he will win over the club's supporters despite speculation about his future.

Sherwood became Villa boss in February, took them to the FA Cup final in May and kept them in the Premier League.

However, after a poor start to the season that has seen them win just one of their first eight league matches, Villa are 18th on four points.

"The fans were singing my name three weeks ago - they'll be singing it in three weeks' time," said Sherwood.

The former Tottenham manager is "100% certain" that the club will be in the top flight next season, but has taken "full responsibility" for their poor start.

He has also denied speculation that he was disappointed by the signings the club made during the summer.

"There isn't one signing I didn't want. I like them all," he added.

"Every manager has difficult periods and this is my first one but I will get through it. I will take everything on the chin and I will turn it around.

"My objective this season is to stay in the Premier League and I have full 100% belief that we will do that."

Aston Villa play at Chelsea on Saturday before a home game against Swansea on 24 October.

Leeds United chairman Massimo Cellino has confirmed Steve Evans will replace sacked head coach Uwe Rosler.

The Italian told BBC Radio Leeds that former Rotherham boss Evans, who took training at the Championship club's Thorp Arch training ground on Monday, will sign a rolling contract.

Rosler, 46, was sacked on Monday after just 12 games in charge.
Evans, 52, will be Leeds' sixth head coach since Cellino took over the club in April 2014.

Oh I know who will be a good person to have as our 6 manager in 18 months. The guy who has just been sacked for his team being in the bottom three

*lots of back slapping and scoffing at the sheer genius managerial appointment*

Fat crook Steve Evans

See Cellino has been banned from running the club again.

Leeds are a Joke.
