It wouldn’t be a managerial vacancy without Tim Sherwood being linked to it.
The former Spurs boss seems to be the go to guy for the bookies and fans when a manager is sacked – but as of yet is still jobless.
Sherwood had reportedly been in talks with QPR but they seem to have broken down – and he is now obviously being linked with the Villa job.
Most likely another red herring – or so the fans hope.
