IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I don't think it's a good time to change managers at all. We don't want a transitional period while we're in danger of the drop. We don't want a transitional period during the first transfer window we may be able to make some good signings in. It's not the right time to remove Paul Lambert. I would say to give him a performance review after the first 10 games of next season and see if Villa look to be achieving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Avenue Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I've asked the lambert pro support and general consensus seems to be give him til Xmas. If there's no improvement ship him out, new man in ready for the January window Not ideal but if he doesn't go this summer this may be the best scenario if things don't improve .

I can't see that happening. He will either go in the summer or be here for at least another full season. There is no way he will start next season with less than a year on his contract. For me he will have either signed a new contract or be gone. FWIW I think he will have signed a new three year deal by the end of May if not sooner. If that is the case the club will not be looking to sack with in a few months even if things remain as bad as they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 So Lambert is on course for our lowest points haul in 44 years ? Why am I not surprised 'On course' based on what exactly? The table The remaining games Current form We're on 34 points There are 5 games left In our last 5 games we have won 2 games So, taking those things into account, you could say we're 'on course' to finish on 40 points. Far from a great tally I would certainly agree, but I very much doubt it is our worst in 44 years. Stop looking for new 'records' or 'facts' aka reasons to complain. I've asked the lambert pro support and general consensus seems to be give him til Xmas. If there's no improvement ship him out, new man in ready for the January window Not ideal but if he doesn't go this summer this may be the best scenario if things don't improve . Lerner would be mad to sack him 6 months into a new deal, I think that would only happen if we were doing awfully and if we are then yes he should go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, in that case even more likely that we won't end up with our worst points tally in 44 years then if we're looking at form, surely?

pacbuddies Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Our last 6 games Crystal Palace - Away - 1 Southampton - Home - 0 Swansea - Away - 1 Hull City - Home - 1 Man City - Away - 0 Spurs - Away - 0 These are my predictions (and I think I am being generous) so if we finish the season on 37 points I think that will be enough to stay up but to be honest it will be worse than last season and that is unacceptable.

Electric Avenue Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Form - we've lost 3 on the spin. Have people forgotten that conveniently . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Form - we've lost 3 on the spin. Have people forgotten that conveniently . And we won 2 games in a row before that, which you have seemingly have forgotten too. We didn't continue to win though, that is what happens with form you see, it changes. Do you really think we're 'on course' to lose every single one of our last 6 games? Edited April 9, 2014 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGregor1888 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 One thing that I've learned over the past few years is that it is impossible to predict Villa results yet year in year out we get the same tedious doom and gloom predictions. My favourite example of this happened at the tail end of the Houllier season when the collective soothsayers of this forum predicted, with know-all certainty, zero points from Villa's final two games v Liverpool and Arsenal...*sigh*... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for each one of those examples there's probably 3 polar opposites . Talk me through - 21 Dec 2013 Stoke 1-2 26 Dec 2013 Palace 0-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
