heid3ster Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 "You have to go again." Personally, I don't put any stock at all in press conferences or indeed even watch them. I find I can never hear the questions being asked, and then I'd need subtitles to understand what Lambert is saying anyway, so I don't bother, and to me they are not really important in the grand scheme of things. But SURELY we have a PR person at the club. And it cannot have escaped that PR person's attention that there is no phrase a Villa fan hates to hear more than "We go again." Said PR person needs to pull Paul aside and say "Listen. I'm making you a list of phrases you can't say anymore at press conferences." Of all the things that are pissing Villa fans off at the moment, this one seems by far the easiest to fix. Just stop saying this. And then let's think about teaching the team to retain possession from a throw-in. And remind them where the back of the net is. And fine every single one of them if they ever get snookered by a quickly-taken free kick again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Curtis Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 When a team consistently perform so badly as ours you would think a post-match bollocking would be the norm, not something to find its way into the papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even I find it impossible to be annoyed by 'we go again'. It's just clearly a verbal tic that he has, it's not meaningful in any way at all.

briny_ear Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Trouble is, it seems to be the limits of his tactical thinking about how the squad might improve their performances. However (my fault) this is now about Lambert when the thread is about Keane, whom we now know told the players they were a load of shit on Monday night, when Lambert wasn't doing the same. That should sort it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 You know, I can't wait to read his next book to find out about what went on during his spell here. We'll get an insight we pretty much never get into things then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even just a little one that would be useless at defending a corner anyway. Right on the half way line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Daily star front page has Keane going on I'm a celebrity. Surely there's no chance of that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll get an insight we pretty much never get into things then Its up to Keane to make sure that he doesn't need to write anything detrimental to the club. Any slagging off of the club after he leaves will tell me that he shows a false facade. If he wants to continue his tough guy mantra, he must demonstrate it while we are still paying him.

KSV Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 this guy has done nothing at the club really... i do doubt his coaching abilities considering our team has gone backwards on the field. Now he wants to go do reality shows and still be in two management roles? If this is true.. he should be sacked. Along with Lambert. Bring in Moyes and his crew and lets start again.

briny_ear Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Apparently he told the Mirror: "I met the jungle people, but I thought, 'Nah, not for me.’ But the more you say no, the more determined they are to get you, so who knows? There's more to life than football." That's what 3 months at Villa does to you Roy - munching grubs in the jungle suddenly looks a much more desirable prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Could Be Rotterdam Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Well an MP was sacked for doing the jungle while she should've been working. And Roy's job is much more important than hers was. Edited October 31, 2014 by ThisCouldBeRotterdam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Roy is one of a select few people at the club that knows what it actually takes to win something (a LOT of things), so I suspect he has _some_ value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 His appointment is sadly becoming a side-circus due to his book and the media clammouring around him over his 'beard' and in the hope he says something outlandish. Just let him get on with being the assistant manager FFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
