Neil Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 From that list of recent times, it seems bad to say that Houllier was, to me, the most exciting prospect we had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Lambert: never won anything McLeish: won a league cup, relegated blues twice Houllier: won quite a bit O'Neill: won a couple of league cups and plenty on Scotland O'Leary: never won anything Taylor: never won anything Gregory: never won anything Little: never won anything - Little won the League Cup in 1996 Atkinson: 2 FA cups and a league cup Yeah, WHILE villa manager, which came AFTER we hired him so doesn't apply to the "what managers had achieved before we hired them" criteria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 When you throw the word realistically in to the title it fills me with dread and I think I would probably just keep Lambert. You think McClaren would take the role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think McClaren would take the role? No takeover it will be Lambert. A takeover and Im 51% towards that it will be Lambert with a DOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A takeover and Im 51% towards that it will be Lambert with a DOF Takeover and Lambert has to go straight away or by Jan at the latest. But there is going to be no takeover so Lambert it is.

We are a lot of people different on that and IM fine with that. A lot of you think Lambert has proven he is shit and a lot of us think he haven't got the chance to prove himself. I don't care about him but if he is here September it will be about the team and the club for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lost way too many fans beyond being given a chance to prove himself. That negativity in itself would stifle the club if the fans knew we could attract a proven manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) If we are going to replace PL, I wouldn't care if the manager wore a tracksuit, a pinstripe suit, or a raincoat with nothing on underneath as long as he was both successful and not David O'Leary.

CanVillan Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Like the pinstripe idea. Top 5 finish, and maybe a nice hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Based on the current link that our new owner is going to be Borat's brother from Kazakhstan, i think our new manager will be... Pamela Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
