Milfner Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I guess we can look forward to signings from far flung places such as Leeds, Cardiff and Bournemouth Can't wait Don't do yourself many favours, do you? Absurd statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Don't get me wrong, I'm relieved we didn't follow through on McCarthy Just with all the OGS crap thought we were going serious left field ie. laudrup, Rijkaard, Klinsmann I'm pretty sure next season will still be much better than last so happy we got the ST's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 What is certain is that talks between the former Celtic and Borussia Dortmund midfielder and Villa were progressing smoothly on Friday with confirmation of his appointment as Alex McLeish's successor expected shortly. Guardian says confirmation is expected shortly.. they released the article 10 minutes ago. Superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just with all the OGS crap thought we were going serious left field ie. laudrup, Rijkaard, Klinsmann Why does the appointment need to be left-field? As long as the appointment is the right one, it really doesn't matter where the manager has come from or where he's signed players from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 What on earth is going on? Could someone fill me in on the whole Richard being happy thing? Whats these 3/3 things?(I assume Lambert is one of them). Is he trolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazilla Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I see that Randy does not seem keen to pay any compensation for Lambert. I think that his last 3 compensation packages have left a sour taste and he has probably got his legal team on the ball this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Clubs words - vibrant compelling exciting I'd rather have someone who can actually manage a club well than someone who'll give us an exciting summer and then relegate us. I'd say Lambert is pretty exciting anyway. He sets up his teams to play decent football and gets the best out of the creative players. If Paul Lambert had just had a season with a newly promote Spanish side who were heavily tipped for relegation and finished comfortably midtable with some great performances against Barce and Real Madrid, you'd be raving about how great he was. Scottish isn't glamourous. But I have no doubt he's the right person for this club. I think Randy has chosen well. And I don't think Lambert is as far from the 'young and vibrant' criteria as you think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarpie Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 If his name would be Paolo Lambertini, there'd be lots of raving how exciting he is - which is kinda understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that his last 3 compensation packages have left a sour taste and he has probably got his legal team on the ball this time. Extracting Lambert & Co past few weeks has obviously been like pulling teeth. Fair play to Norwich though... We'd only want Villa to do the same surely?

coda Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Is this likely to be delayed until Wednesday? I want to see Bert's angry face at B6 ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Can't wait to see him holding a scarf in front of the Holte. That image of McLeish with his horrible pockmarked ugly ginger face holding a Villa shirt last year is still burned into my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
