Tim Sherwood: 'I won't get a statue outside the club unless I win'

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood has insisted that he won't be getting a statue outside of Villa Park unless he wins this weekend's FA Cup final against Arsenal.

The former Tottenham Hotspur coach is looking to win the club's first piece of silverware since Brian Little's side won the League Cup in the 1995-96 season.

Sherwood steered Villa clear of relegation with five wins out of the 13 Premier League games he was in charge, but the English manager believes that winning the FA Cup is an even bigger achievement.

"Fans only love you if you win something and unless you do that you're never going to have a statue outside the club," he told reporters.

Aston Villa last lifted the FA Cup in 1957.
