foreveryoung Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So selfish of Lambert not to get a assistant in yet. Maybe half the problem, a goalkeeping coach is not gonna help you score goals. Selfish? That's a strange assumption to reach. Explain. Thinks maybe he can do it all himself and don't need any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conspiricy theorists would say he may have forced the hand of previous assistant managers due to no one agreeing with his tactics or coaching methods. I personally think there is no disipline in Lambert's methods, shows on the pitch for me in the vast inconsistances of our performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Culverhouse and Karsa were with Lambert for about 5/6 years before they left last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The MailOnline reports Villa as being interested in “bringing in Watford sporting director Luke Dowling” as they look to “restructure of the hierarchy of the club”. Apparently Dowling has only been at Watford since September 2014, and was previously at Leeds in a consultancy capacity - in May 2014 he turned down the chance to become Sporting Director with them. When he joined Watford his role was described by the Club as: · Working with the CEO to help give a truly all-encompassing feel to recruitment methods. · Working closely with the Head Coach to continually shape and perfect the balance of the first-team squad. · Adding an extra dimension and focus on the domestic market. (The reason I quote this is because personally I have no idea exactly what a Sporting Director / Director of Football actually does). Of course the fact that the MailOnline say Villa are interested doesn't mean we will get him, but perhaps it gives a pointer to the Club’s intentions. Sounds like a right load of bollocks to me!! Why? That's a very 1990's opinion IMO. The modern game calls for it. The less Lambert has to do at the club is surely a positive. Get more coaches in.. as well. Bring in Laursen to help the defenders.. Taylor to help the midfielders and Yorke to help the strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2015 Mike Phelan has been appointed assistant at Hull. Shame, he'd have been a good appointment here, and probably would have been up for it if he's happy to go to Hull 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dounavilla Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) How do you judge an assistant ? I mean a good assistant as it's clear out previous ones were not too good. I mean Just because Phelan was with Fergie a while does not make him a good assistant ? Although right now ANY word be an improvement surely ?

You should have just said that in the first place. Well he is not in any rush to fill the postion is he. Surely, if he worked well with an assistant, I think he would have one in by now. He is obviously happy struggling in his own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted February 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6, 2015 We are not going to get rid of Lambert then the next best thing is to get an assistant in to try and pick the team up. Anyone with a bit of a strong character and a decent past in football, Paul Jewels available, no one else springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlwaysAVFC Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 It's not exactly on the face of it a great job opportunity is it? Who ever goes in no matter what Lambert, Lerner, Fox tell them, they've got to be thinking that it could well be a short lived role. Whether Lambert should still be in charge or not aside, very very few managers if any would have lasted this long at any other club. Unless you've got no other option or happy with short term would you take a job where you may have lost it in 5 months or less? and it won't even be down to your performance in the role.

useless Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Lerner has probably told Lambert that he has to work with what he's got in terms of coaches because Lerner is hoping stumble along with as little outlay as possible until he manages to sell the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 maybe nobody wants to work with lambert? or maybe nobody wants to work at a relegated club? when mclaren worked under fergie he looked good, once he had to stand on his own to feet we all saw how inept he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Kevin MacDonald i would like to see back as Assistant Manager as he is highly respected here and a lot of people was sad to see him go. But doubt he would want to work with Lambert again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Boro went from strength to strength once they were rid of him... International management is a different kettle. At club level he has done OK if not spectacular, won a fair bit considering and is at the very least a good coach. We'd be lucky to nab him.

VillaChris Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I didn't want McClaren in 2011 but he's done well since. Derby is an excellent fit for him, they'll go up so bonkers to me if he leaves them for the madhouse at Newcastle in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
