CrackpotForeigner Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 We have to persevere with Lambert, because as long as Lerner is in ownership we won't be sacking him unless we are mired in the bottom 3. Once we accept that we can focus on what is key for this club. New ownership. It has to be sold this summer. Period By that token, don't we also have to accept Lerner as owner, because it doesn't look like he'll be going anywhere, any time soon. Of course we have to accept Lerner as owner. We don't have to like it, but complaining about it is just as futile as complaining about the manager. The only difference is that whipping the fans into a frenzy of Lerner-hatred isn't going to have any effect on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Because supporting lambert has had such a good effect on the team hasn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the fans could be bothered to call for the manager's head for 38 games a season we'd be unbeatable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HeyAnty Posted January 13, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just thought id say this again. Not being relegated in his first two seasons, with a shit team and a shit budget (both transfers and more so wages) is good enough for me. We will always be fighting relegation under the current regime and id rather stick with someone who proved he can keep us in the league two seasons running. The 'Lambert out brigade' who want the club to be great again have to look at the way the club is run. Yes we may need a better manager to make that push, but with the current structures, id rather keep a manager who has a proven track record of keeping us in the league than someone who doesnt. Felix Magath anyone? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I remember "Come on Villa, Come on Villa, Come on Villa, Come on!" & "Sing your heart out for the lads!" Much more effective than "we want Lerner out, say we want Lerner out!" or "Getting sacked in the morning!" - but y'know.. fans and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Magath anyone? What an odd way to look at it. What's the point? No improvement over 3 seasons is acceptable? I think mid table should've been the target this season and this squad shouldn't be in the mix. The current structure isn't the best sure but really it's being used more of an excuse than a valid reason now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wont improve until that happens or Lerner starts to spend again. Id rather wait on being soldthan risk getting someone else in that will get us relegated. Lets face it under the current regime we wont get any manger worth a dam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the fans could be bothered to call for the manager's head for 38 games a season we'd be unbeatable. The point is that the influence of an inept manager on the team is far greater than any influence the opinion of the fans may have.

At least the one we've got is, frankly, brilliant at picking up transfer deals on a tiny budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Joint 12th-13 ha ha ha, an that's justification of some sort. If we are there after 3-4 games I will bow down, ha ha what a joke. As for supporting the team, I have seen no less difference in the quality of football chanting Lambert out in the game against Leicester as I have in the last 2 seasons of his shite.
