Tomaszk Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 21 hours ago, VillaChris said: September 2014 has to be one of the most mentally disturbed months for decisions this club has ever seen. Within a couple of weeks we'd given new contracts to Gabby, Hutton and Lambert. Hutton will be released on a free transfer in the summer but the other two really defied belief at the time and still do. I'm convinced that was Lambert doing us in. Wasn't that around the time he was supposedly asking to be sacked, but wanting a pay-off? Randy said no, but I'll back you in whatever you want. It's like he picked the two most obvious players who didn't deserve contracts and gave them both huge deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) I really liked Lamberts 4-3-3 set up. Problem was that Weimann and Gabby is shit, and delph was our only good centre midfielder. With better players i think that formation could really work well Edited September 5, 2016 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble was Weimann and Gabby couldn't sustain that level and very quickly went s*** and stayed like that. All summer we were crying out for a playmaker to give us plan B and more quality and he signed Kozak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Lambert's 3 seasons, we spent about 50M. Not sure what the issue is, he definitely has a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 The fact is there was a lot of promise about Lambert's reign, especially at the end of his first season/ beginning of his second season. However, about mid-point way through his second season, he became so negative it's beyond belief. The dreadful second half of the 2013/2014 season (bar the Norwich and Chelsea results) should have meant he was dismissed after we lost 3-0 at Spurs on the final day.

TheAuthority Posted January 15, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2018 I hope he takes them down. They're a nothing club and he's a tw8. As I posted in the Stoke thread:I dislike him because he kept draining the club of money for himself when things were horribly wrong behind the scenes. He 'protected' Lerner for his own personal gain while Aston Villa was dying a slow death. F*ck him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazes me how people defended him while he waited for his payoff, happily risking the clubs premier league status. Guy is a word removed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should rephrase that, I don't recall ever seeing a manager resign because he thought he wasn't up the job or that he couldn't keep a club up. It's almost always because of some financial or personal dispute with the owners. Edited January 16, 2018 by Keyblade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
