Supervillan78 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 He has been loyal to Randy and to the club at a very difficult time. Randy's statement more than alludes to this fact. He clearly has Villa's interest at heart. I am happy for him to be given a chance, one chance that's all. If as I said he can't turn it around then he goes at the end of this 3 year contract with no massive pay or embarrassment for either party.

Big_John_10 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well I for one am pleased and very confident there's no chance of new owners giving him any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Takeover or not, I think Lambert should be given just one more season with the shackles removed just to see what he really could do. I'd like to think he could turn it round with decent backing, however if there has not been significant progress by the end of that season he should go.He doesn't deserve the backingAlways add "imo" to the end of your posts because you don't speak for everyone here, certainly not me. I think he should be given till xmas, at least. Imo. Surely anything we state is in our opinion anyway. I personally won't be adding 'IMO' everytime I state my view on here, if that's alright with you of course. Edited April 20, 2014 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 After so many years of mis management and tripe I don't think many fans can stomach risking another year under Lambert and more terrible football, even if there is still a chance he could come good.

He doesn't deserve the backing 40 million pounds worth of shackles? Everyone keeps going on about that like it's a lot of money in modern football. He's had to build a whole squad with that. Most teams in the top 6 would spend that on two players. You could argue about how successful he's been at building a squad on that budget, but if you buy an entire wardrobe from Primark most of it's going to fall to bits after a couple of washes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 He was operating under difficult circumstances and injuries to key players have just compounded that. I'm not happy with performances or results but there are signs there of a decent manager IMO. Give him another season, then if it's still dire he goes with no complaints. It doesn't matter what excuses there are no new owners will keep him on. He's done. Shall we close the thread then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Lerner hasn't made his job easy but the clueless performances and tactical displays are down to Lambert not him, throwing money at a manager doesn't turn a bad one into a good one, the money isn't the one setting the play-style and making the subs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) At our current level I think he lacks the tactical nous and the wizardry in the transfer market. Our style of play is very lackluster and we seriously lack consistency in anything we do. Look at Rodgers and Martinez, their teams are very similar every game - they follow the plan and utilize their strengths. We change things around all the time, we never know what to expect. If we are given new owners with more money to spend, it's quite obvious that he will be given the sack. He doesn't have the reputation or charisma to persuade new players to join us and he doesn't have a history with handling bigger players. A bit like Moyes at United, it's quite obvious that players don't look up to him like they do for Mourinho and Klopp. Edited April 20, 2014 by Papillon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
