    It's official. Project Lambert has failed.

     

    Yep, the test of his psychic abilities to make Spurs play better and Wigan badly have failed miserably - time to let him out of the chamber and get back to his day job as a manager.

    I think the fact we're desperate for Wigan to lose so close to the end of the season shows the project has not been successful.

     

     

     

    The project has barely started. I'll give you a judgement after three seasons - he's taken over a mess of a club and started to try to turn it around - hopefully we'll have done enough to arrest the momentum that has had us heading downwards for the past three seasons and four managers. We won't find that out for sure for a week or two yet though.

     

    Thank **** for that!.. That the project aint started yet, We cant withstand another season of this shit. 

     

    He's created this mess not inherited it!

     

    But then again as the saying go's, In life you get what you pay for!

     

     

    I keep forgetting we were on the verge of greatness when the last manager left. 

     

    Totally agree pal,

     

    However if he had brought in these players and this was his current league possition would you still be blowing smoke up the managers arse?

     

    Just a thought like!..

     

    I'm not blowing smoke up anyone's arse - McLeish's position was untenable, it was a poor idea from the start and he had no respect from the fans or players - Houllier was ill and couldn't continue - McAllister and MacDonald were only ever caretakers.

     

    I'd have been happy with Houllier staying, I'll be happier with Lambert staying - keeping a manager for longer than a season is a good idea - it promotes the ability to plan and carry out a plan and for me a manager who is a six out of ten dog average Premier league manager, given three years will achieve more than three seven out of ten managers given a season each.

     

    It's changing the manager every year that has gotten us where we are, it's the complete lack of continuity and plan that has brought us to the edge of the precipice - sacking this one, giving up on a plan, would be jumping, not falling.

     

    I think Lambert has shown some promise, he's made adjustments to the team throughout the season to try to address the shortcomings of the squad and has finished up with a system that allows us to get our best players on the field - he's been pragmatic, but he's also shown some ambition in his selections and a desire to get at teams. He's struggled with results, but I think pretty much any manager would have, if we stay up, then I think we can make a fairer judgement on that next season.

     

    For now, I think we've bottomed out, I think we're pointed in the right direction in lots of ways, performances now are better than they've been for a while, results in the last few months have been reasonable too, our wage bill is under control and we're almost back to a position where we can start looking upwards again. We have one hurdle to overcome, it's a big one and it's not going to be easy, but if we can manage it, then I think there are brighter days ahead. 

     

    That's just my opinion - I'd be interested to see if you're able to articulate yours.

     

     

    Thanks for the efforts to take a lengthy reply, But the straight answer to my question is?..

  4. It's official. Project Lambert has failed.

     

     

    But if we some how stay up he will be classed as a tactical genius, Sucessfull with exciting and entertaining football :crylaugh:

  5.  

     

    Spurs getting raped.

    Are you watching? Spurs are dominating they just cannot score.

     

    Wigan were running circles round them, back heels splitting the spurs defence. 

     

     

    Not seen the wigan keeper make a save second half!

  6. Why is it almost every single time all season long that i have looked at the scores, or results or whatever 99.99% of the time it's grim news for us?...Horrible horrible season & i will just be glad when its over to the point where i don't even give a s*** where we end up... We deserve to go down for what has happened at this club over the last 3 seasons... Professional suicide if ever i saw it

    If you get your own garden in order you dont need to worry about next doors grass!

     

    Yanks and Scotts Out!

  7. Think i should of posted it in here instead of the other thread sorry...

     

    If your going in there end, Then Best bet is in the west stand in blocks WS10 & WS9.

     

    East stand corner near the away end is wigan hardcore :D

  8. Wigan are checking names and addresses against the names and addresses in the avfc ticket office database.

    If matches are found you will be refused a ticket

     

    Wrong name, nans/aunts/works add :P

  9. You also forgot to add albrighton,

     

    Didnt realise we could put out a full team and a few subs with that lot.

     

    Think we would be lucky to get £15M for 14 players lol

     

    God no wonder we are shite!

  10.  

    Added to the fact we have already let in 60 goals and still 5 games left, Collectively at the end of the season will be over 300! Can anyone really deffend this?

    I don't think it can be defended.

    And it's certainly a big reason why we're worried for our premiership survival.

     

    We'l be fine so im told!

  11. Well considering as you've said, this is one of the worst seasons in our history (all 139 years of it) then the fact we're still above water is a positive no? That's all I'm saying. 

    Again please share this positive information that you have seen/hold!

     

    And magicaly bring back to life my post of our worst season in 139 years that you state as fact please.

     

    Thats all im saying!

  12. Again, please point me to where I've blamed the fans. BG10 stated that I blamed the fans and called our entire fan-base shit so it must be true right? I've blamed numerous factors for our demise this year, not least PL's tactical naivety and consistent underperformance of the players. Randy Lerner screwed up last year without a doubt, but last summer, I feel like it was PL's tactic to buy the players he did and RL has happy to facilitate that. However in January when we needed reinforcing, the money was obviously not there so the blame lies at RL's feet.

     

    We had 42,000 there against Liverpool and the atmosphere was dire.

     

    Thats down to the tickets office, Early gen sale = lots of scallys in the home end + school holiday day trippers remember how it go's?

  13. The huge positive that, even thought we've 'had one of our worst years the club has ever had' (**** nonsense btw, how the hell could you go back the 139 years of existence our club has had. Posting for effect.), we're still 3 points clear of the relegation places. We still have a positive fight left in us.

    Sorry aint got a fcukin clue about the 139 years ect you ramble on about,

     

    So basically your huge positive responce is that we 3 points clear of relegation?

     

    When you get off your high horse as you like to call it, Can you post us all a link for the early bird renewals please?

  14. Keep taking bits from my post and twisting my words John.

     

    Be unhappy all you want but at least try to see the positives. Must have a pretty negative existence if you live your life how you post.

    Again please share this positive information that you have seen/hold!

  15. You've insulted me too though. You can't possibly take the moral high ground when you're deliberately posting to get a reaction.

     

    Only yesterday you used the fact this year is my first year as a ST holder to invalidate my opinion. You called me pathetic in another thread.

     

    Anyway this is utterly pathetic. Neither you or Sutherland have addressed anything I've said and you've just posted to get a reaction out of me. Well done. You've provoked another Villa fan into insulting you.

     

    You know what is pathetic though? Getting your kicks from posting deliberately provocative comments in order to get somebody to call you something, only to then take the moral high ground. But whatever, we're all Villa fans aren't we?

    Oh have a day off pal, Aint that like **** a bird behind your mrs back and saying you made me do it!

     

    No need for personal insults lad! Just a thought like.

  16. This argument that we're 'going down because of Lambert buying lower league players' is absolutely shit.

     

    You do know he bought 3 first teamers from the lower leagues? (And Bowery)

     

    Westwood? Success. Even our most negative posters admit that. Lowton? Success. Bennett? Took a bit of time to bed in but has only made the LB slot his own now. Even Bowery (who I'm not counting because I doubt he was bought for much first team action in mind), has made more of a positive impact than a negative one.

     

    It's just another stick to beat Lambert with, by people, as Kwan said will come crawling out of the woodwork and revel in the 'I KNEW WE'D GO DOWN. I WASN'T JUST BEING NEGATIVE'. It's pathetic that their first thoughts won't be of, 'aww we went down', but of, 'wooooo i can vindicate my unerring negativity on an online forum!'

     

    How about cutting all that shit out and actually supporting the team and the manager because we need all the support we can get. 

     

    Serious question like, But if it was houiler or mcduff that had built this squad and there league position would you be saying the same thing?

     

    Or as you like to put it 'Spout complete and utter shit'?
