Hanky Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 What is this job or project that Lambert is building though? All I see is an abject team attempting to masquerade as a premier league team (and that includes the coaching staff). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Sack Lambert & who will you bring in? Or to re-phrase the question-Who would want the job? Lets stick we've what we.ve got & see the job through. See the job through to what though? Survival this season and then what? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974Centenary Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Doug appointed Martin O'Neil. Lerner has appointed Gerrard Houllier, Alex McLeish and Paul Lambert.... Who's next? Browns fans warned us all. They said this would happen. The whole club is a mess. Not really fair as the Browns are shit with and without Lerner. I imagine that it takes a while to sort out the mess of several years of Lerner ownership. You cannot compare the Browns with the villa with or without Lerner in charge,the NFL has no relegation and nothing to lose in terms of finishing last in their division,the Villa on the other hand do.

I imagine that it takes a while to sort out the mess of several years of Lerner ownership. Unfortunately, the Browns demise has nothing to do with Lerner. They are cursed. The only 'curse' is the one we shared until recently. The curse of the billionaire idiot playboy who knows nothing about business or running a sports club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Sod it. Sack him. Bring in anyone. I'm so sick of this. I really wish I supported any other team right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Rumour circulating on twitter that there has been a tunnel bust up with PL and a few of the players. I highly doubt this but if it's true then he has most definite lost the dressing room Twitter (Yes i Know) but anyone know if ANY truth in this? I don't know - but Id say this is probably rubbish - it would be a dressing room bust up if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974Centenary Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 And as for replacements for Lambert,how about all the managers of teams with less of a budget than we have but have put teams out to not only compete but beat the Villa,starting with Nigel Clough!

theboyangel Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Surely the players are as much to blame today? They had their chances and didn't put them away.... I still don't think we should sack Lambert - we'd be back to square one again and another low-cost rebuild with the next manager. Hopefully he'll be backed this window and we can add a little more quality than we've already got to see us through to the end of the season and then assess where we stand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1974Centenary Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Lambert does not have the ability to work on such a small budget,he is a big bugdet manager along the lines of Mourinho,and as such,should move on to fresh pastures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted January 4, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 4, 2014 It's all well and good talking about budget, but Roberto Martinez spent less money with Wigan and they didn't play the shite brand of football we do. And they won the FA Cup. Yes they ultimately got relegated, but it certainly wasn't down to the quality of the manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfingers Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 The job at present IS survival. Do you not understand that Lerner wants to sell the club? He wants as much of his outlay back as possible? (this means no high wages or transfer fees) The first part of the job has been to get rid of the bomb squad which is almost complete. We are now in a position where we should be able to bring a bit of experience in on lower wages to compliment the players we have. Bringing a new manager in will not change the situation that Lerner doesn't give a f##k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I don't think one question counts as an interview Especially when it consists of mumbling like Rab C Nesbitt after a skinful of Buckies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I would love John Gregory back managing us. Villa supporter too. He is one of us. No more British/Irish dross please. If we are going to get a new manager lets get one who is tactically innovative. Bielsa would be the only one who would excite me. Mad as a hare but just brilliant.
