pacbuddies Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It doesn't matter who he signs he has proved time and time again that he cannot get the best out of any player. He needs to go now and let someone else sign players. No more false dawns or sticking plasters. We need to get rid now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted January 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2015 If he is backed to sign this Gil fella and atleast another attacker this window then I'm happy to wait and see how it goes as Lambert has done a good job to sort the defence and with a bit of decent backing he will hopefully sort the attack. I think you'll be in the minority. Time and money have led to us going backwards under Lambert. Don't think this is going to make much difference. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Isa Posted January 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2015 No player can compensate for our manager's incompetence. As he has conclusively proven this season with his strongest ever squad (in his words). Regardless of who he signs, he needs to go. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I do wonder if the rash of red cards are down to the players frustrations at our new style of play? What is the hold up with the assistants appointment it is surely obvious to Lerner and Fox we need help for the manager or even better someone else in Lambert's role.

Bunnski Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 We aren't that far off being a good team, a couple of quality attackers could transform us. We need to replace Gabby and Weimann asap, it's crazy the amount of times everything breaks down as soon as the ball goes near them and stops us getting anywhere in attack. We have the defence sorted which is the base for any good team, get it right in attack and it could be like watching a different team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at us its hard to think a couple of players is the difference between us being absolutely shit and a good team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 There is some weight to Bunnski's arguments though. At this point in the season with only a couple of weeks to make any signings it may be better the devil you know. If Lambert was sacked today it would be the Bournemouth game at the earliest before any new manager was in place, with little/no time to make any stamp on the squad roster. If we sacked Lambert and replaced him with Sherwood, Howe or any other realistic name being thrown around, I seriously doubt any manager's ability to come in and suddenly transform this group of players. I know it is frustrating and soul-destroying to be a Villa fan right now, but I think we are going to have to persevere and trust in Lambert's past ability to come up with a big result or two when we've really needed one. I think he will get us over the line again, and then the whole club just needs a re-structure if possible in the summer. The owner, the management and coaches, the playing staff, everything. I think you are wrong to be honest. Many managers have gone to clubs who were on the brink of relegation etc, and transformed them. New ideas, fresh approach, positive thinking, can sometimes do wonders for a team in a rut. Palace under Pullis and Sunderland under Gus are 2 great examples of these not to mention the work Rowett has done at SHA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have Guzan to thank and Nugent for his Stevie Wonder impression for keeping the score down to one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 To be honest its quite stunning that Lambert survived his first season, the fact that he survived last season and now this current run (happens every season since he came, hmmmmmmm?) is just absolutely astonishing and ithat isnt a word used for effect, when you actually recollect Lamberts tenure it genuinely is astonishing that hes still employed and even got anew contract. Infact its mildly rage inducing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Based on the last 5 seasons we are not doing that badly, no idea how Houllier did that abd with the players he had but again he was changing the style and it did work eventually that with a £"4 million striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 We all know that Lambert has recently signed a new deal, and that seems a good enough reason to think that Lerner won't pull the trigger. However, if we lose our next 4 games (Liverpool, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Chelsea), does anyone think Lerner could drop the axe? It's not completely unrealistic to think those 4 games could be lost. Surely Lerner (or Fox) would have put some clause in the contract to not have to pay off the full contract if we want rid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just one thing on the line of thought that signings means he's staying... We recently appointed a director of acquisition Really? When did that happen? We all know that Lambert has recently signed a new deal, and that seems a good enough reason to think that Lerner won't pull the trigger.

Surely Lerner (or Fox) would have put some clause in the contract to not have to pay off the full contract if we want rid? I said it at the time. There had to be a clause in the deal. It would make no sense, with the club up for sale, for there not to be one in the deal. Based on the last 5 seasons we are not doing that badly, no idea how Houllier did that abd with the players he had but again he was changing the style and it did work eventually that with a £"4 million striker It really has been a shocking 5 year period. Such a long time of shit football and results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 What's shocking is that, at this stage in the season, through those 5 seasons, we did the best under McLeish! I knew I was right to stick by him ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 He either needs to be backed or sacked and I fear it will be neither. No he just needs to be sacked. He has been backed in the transfer market more than most of the teams in our league. Now he just needs sacking. I want him gone but this is baffling.
