If they wanted lambert they would have had him by now in my opinion. Get ready for another dodgyleft field appointment fellow villans. Really hope i am proved wrong on lambert but i can`t see the logic in leaving it this long.

I think they have **** it up again.

Why? The two aren't really comparable well you look at it more in-depth.

I hope those people criticising the c.v of brendan rodgers are not the same people who creamed in their jeans over OGS. That would be amusing indeed.

So what are our lot doing then? Hope they are harrassing martinez or lambert as we speak.

Don`t bookies manipulate the odds deliberately to get people to hammer money on? I`m not clued up on the gambling world but surely tactics like this are used.

People looking at his stats and saying he is shite need to use their imagination a little bit. Steve bruce has better stats, who would you rather have? I`m sure big sams stats are great, those sort of managers live for good stats, And It shows in the way their teams play. It`s about his football philosiphy, the general idea being if he had better resources to buy a better standard of player he would be produce a good footballing team for us.

Alex mcleish says our squad is weak and he is going to get some vitamin d through his body.

Why are people debating the credibilty of strangers who post things on the internet? Nobody knows how credible they are either way. Unless it comes from faulkner or lerner its all rumour, they make the decision in the end.

thought the situation would be clearer by this time today.

Why he has achieved very little in football. Steve Bruce has achieved more. I would except the vision of Martinez, but he dosent exactly excite me. Its about style of play for me. I think with a better standard of player together with his footballing ideas it would equal good times here.

If they weren't in the club's pockets there'd be even less info about and they'd be having to make up stories just like the red tops do. All football clubs, with the exception of Wigan, try to do their business on the quiet these days because the media is so intrusive. In the old days we'd only find out what was happening once it had happened. I don't see how being keep completely in the loop would benefit the club in the slightest. All it would do is tip our rivals off to what our plans are. Just be patient and all will be revealed! Isn`t it the medias job to be intrusive(to a point)? to build contacts, investigate and report stuff which hasn`t been revlealed yet? If they just waited for stories to fall into their laps or just published what the club tells them when the club tells them then they would not really be journalists. To a point. I work in the media and my job is to report facts, not make up stories to sell papers like the tabloids do. Some local papers use that tactic too but I'd say Mat Kendrick is an example of a journalist being given the chance to build a relationship with a club so that he can be more accurate when he does tell us what's going on. As a journalist you can't just go and find out what's happening without having contacts and if the club are being extremly guarded about what's happening then who are the best people to keep in with? Tabloid journalists have contacts too but their accuracy levels are far, far lower. Fair enough, if you work in the media you know better than me mate. Just seems like the midlands based journalists could be doing a bit more. Suppose we will find out anyway in the end so it doesn`t really matter.

Shame the midlands "journalists" are in the clubs pocket. If they weren`t they might actually do their jobs and dig up some info on whats happening. Never mind.

I think the high wages are responsible for the performances. I get the impression that they are all in one big comfort zone. Picking up a small fortune whilst under no pressure at all to achieve anything. Great facilities, historic club, great stadium, great wages, no pressure. Sounds like the Good life to me. Thats why they performed for and didn`t like o`neill and houllier, both of those guys kicked them up the arse. I`d rather have a squad and wage bill like norwich, keep them hungry and motivated.

I don`t think its lambert, he would have been in by now. There was nothing at all stopping us from approaching him. Martinez is the one they want.

I think the club have stepped up the pace on this issue, they have gone from a slugs pace to a snails pace.

Watched the grey and safe house this week. Really liked both. Denzel washington is my hero, he basically plays every character the same way but different. Thats the genius of the man.

Humperdink is a disgrace to britain, the man should be arrested as soon as he sets foot back in the country.

Because they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, like it or not.

Mystery man is john leslie. ITK.

Times being wasted now, it will take the manager another couple of weeks to settle in once he is appointed. The squad needs an overhaul, get it done this week randy, you have had enough time to decide on targets. Players are also away with the euros which will leave less time for new signings, come on uncle randolph, put some spunk into it.

I think thats what happened with mcleish, they couldn`t get martinez, the young manager they wanted so they went the other way. The manner of the last two appointments worries me if they don`t get their first choices, martinez looks to be staying at wigan and OGS has pulled out. Hope they have other ideas.

Rodgers would be my first choice. But there is not a lot of point in him moving from swansea to villa at this moment in time. He has job security there and is building a culture at that club. To up root and start all over again at a club which isn`t really going to be competeing for anything doesn`t make sense. I just don`t know where we are going to go from here, It looks martinez staying at wigan. they obviously don`t rate lambert or they would have had him in by now. Not sure he is going to like getting a call once martinez drops out, doesn`t seem like a guy who would like being second choice. I like randy but i get a bad feeling it has been cocked up again and we will end up shopping in the curbishley, steve bruce section.

If getting a team relegated is seen as doing well :winkold: It is by our board apparently.
