Zatman Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Now that Lambert has had the chance to get his head back together, I'd have him back as a 3rd or 4th choice, provided he agreed to maintain a competent and complete management team around him.back where?I wouldnt have him as 3rd or 4th choice for an under 11 team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Fook me that would cut the attendances in half.I assume we must still be paying his contract and he's still technically on gardening leave as I would've thought he'd be in a job by now. Alan Irvine had this with WBA recently paying up his deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 or no club wants him after watch how he played us last seasonon another note if he gets a club he can sign Guzan and Westwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Of course clubs will take him, he has a couple of promotions on his CV after all. 6 months after leaving here McLeish reappeared briefly at Forest.Somewhere like Fulham or Leeds if it wasn't such a madhouse.

Zatman Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 McCleish has a higher reputation in the game though, Lambert is damaged goods in England for me. He needs to do a McLaren and go to Netherlands, Germany or somewhere like that and try rebuild his confidence and reputation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I would say he would be a contender for Celtic job if their current manager leaves. If strachan ever leaves Scotland I can Lambert as a strong contender as well. Would not be suprised to see Lambert back at norwich one day either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I wouldn't be disappointed to see him return. Would be a better bet than Sherwood and some of the other names linked. Obviously it's not going to happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 How can you want Sherwood sacked and at the same time say you wouldn't be disappointed to see Lambert return. Utter madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Lambert's time at Villa is done and best forgotten about but if someone made me choose between the two and neither wasn't an option i'd take Lambert all day long. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Lambert kept us up twice when most other managers would have failed, took a Norwich team who when he joined were a shambles through the divisions and once in the Premiership got them mid-table playing good football. I don't think it's all that mad for me to trust Lambert with our future more so than I do Sherwood. Ideally I'd prefer us to try something completely new though, like Biesla or Remi Garde (wishful thinking I know).

Zatman Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 you make Lambert keeping us up twice sound like he won us a title. We were in relegation battles because of him, 2nd time around we were comfortable in midtable with about 10 games left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnski Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Wonder how Lambert would of got on if he was handed £55m in his first transfer window and where we would be now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Very similar. Like Sherwood, he was unable to get the best out of players, his tactical decisions were questionable and his insistence on doing the same thing over and over again is just as frustrating as Sherwood changing things all the time. I didn't see anything to suggest he'd have done better with more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I see our current plight is leading to some blatant historical revisionism on this thread then. The only thing I can say for Lambert is that he seemed like a nicer person than Sherwood. He was every bit as dreadful for this football club, every single bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
