Yes - But could it be a mis calculation on Lerners part. What he might have meant to say was "theres always an of season review - where those sort things will be discused'" - where as his actual words "I will make a statement on my own position at the end of the season" ......ergo we got "My position is the results on the field are not acceptable - Ive taken steps to address that [sacks manager]". When I first seen Lerners statement my initial reaction was that a 2nd statement clarifying his position - would follow about 30 minutes later ......I just wonder if he couldn't be bothered, or we are in his thoughts so little - he's not given us much thought since.... I really think the whole thing stems from a bit of lost in transalation.. The whole thing is purely based on semantics. Exegisists have had a field day. It is not Randy Lerner's fault if others misinterpret his statements & then fly off wildly & quixotically into fantasy. People make what they want of it & do. Absolutely But it may be Randy Lerner or Paul Faulkner's job to deal with the fallout of crushed supporter expectation. Or euphoria. Which ever, they will obviously deal with it accordingly as they deem appropriate whether to the fans liking or not. Fortunately/unfortunately that is their prerogative & we as fans have just simply got to live with it.

No one's changed there tune only you asked some one else to change their record. I don't personally know the intricacies of the parameters set by Randy Lerner for Paul Lambert. What I do know is that Randy is both cognisant & satisfied that he has fulfilled this obligation & that will do for me.

TBAR never bull shit do they?

Change the record. This 'there is not another manager out there that could do better than Lambert under the current constraints' line is really starting to become tiresome. There are many managers in the world (yes, I said the world not just the UK) that could do better than Lambert. As we don't know what parameters have been set for PL to work under your conclusion is purely hypothetical. Could Ancellotti or SAF eg have done any better? We simply don't know & because of this they may even have faired even worse. As things stand right now Paul Lambert is the best Manager to progress & develop Aston Villa FC. He has laid the ground work,been set back by injuries & just needs a little bit more time & patience to propel us forward & hopefully with better finance being made availabe a chance to buy a few more gems like Benteke. Which Manager is better placed than Paul Lambert to knows what's actually needed to move us forward? Let's not go back to first base all over again.

Memo to all the Bull shitters on this thread: Fake off!

it will be filled with local, young hard working goldfish not your expensive tropical ones that require constant attention. & loads of red herrings.

I'm only offended that you didn't offend me.

This statement had better be worth waiting for.

If we lose at Spurs & both the Boggies & Hull City win simply view the final league table by standing on your head & it will look like we have qualified for the 4th spot in the Champions league.

Cricket actually.

Limpid's been getting away with it for years

Common sense tells you that it isn't the same MM. He would be all over VT like a rash if it was the same geezer. He wouldn't be able to contain him self.

" I don't know."

I assure you nobody is 'desperate' to criticise Lambert. There is more than enough evidence to underpin the criticism he gets. If there was a proposed trial by jury for the criticism of Paul Lambert, The Crown Prosecution Service would immediately dismiss the case out of hand due to insufficient evidence & would laugh his accusers out of court.

Let's all just be totally honest here please. If we had attacked or defended last night in all probability we would have been well beaten. [edited by mod]

I just hope Randy's statement is announced to the travelling fans over the PA immediately at full time so that we all know exactly where it is we stand regarding our future plans.

It's the constant waiting for the news to be announced that's the real killer isn't it?

Yes. The answers on page 436 next week.

Would love to have played that match with a fully fit Benteke, Agbonlahor & Weimann. We held out with our backs to the wall for well over an hour & I believe we would have roasted 'em on the counter with Gabby's blistering pace & that would have given us something to cling on to.. Would love to have seen Kompany with Benteke for company, especially with Man City's full backs so high up the pitch. A creditable performance by the lads though a little naive at times. Toure should have been professionally fouled on at least two occasions.on the final goal. I won't be losing any sleep over this result & that's for sure. Great to see Jack Grealish get a run out too. Keep The Faith!

Love Chris Herd & I hope he gets to stay. Good Luck to the Wizard Of Aus.

Might be the first declaration in football ever.

Haven't Herd a thing mate.

With Skippy as the new President Emiritus.

Love it momo. Magnificent post.
