Moorski Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I would take Cannon & Ball atm to get Mc Leish out,Comolli would be ok as long as Eck goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KjParton Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 anything for Mcleish to go - needs to be sacked after Norwich - preferably before Norwich tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted May 6, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2012 why would lambert leave norwich (top half) for villa (nearly relegated)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdubber Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Norwich are punching well above their weight, whereby we have been punching well below our weight. Good manager no doubt, and was himself a great defender, but I really don`t see him taking us very far, especialy with our lack of patience.

Oaks Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 why would lambert leave norwich (top half) for villa (nearly relegated)? Norwich are not "top half" they are 2 places above us, and that's as probably as far as you can take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm a big admirer of Lamberts' career so far, but I think that his style of football has reached as high as he can take it. Direct counter attacking football played with passion has been really successful for him in his rise from lower divisions. If he is still with Norwich next season he will struggle to replicate this seasons results imo. The Premiership has evolved to a level where the technical quality of a team is essential to their continued survival. Lambert like his mentor MON is not a technical coach, he relies on passion and organisation which has brought him a long way but will not take him any further imo. Roberto Martinez may not have the same recent CV as Paul Lambert, but he has proved to be a good technical coach who has kept an unfashionable team in a league that is way above their resources. I would love to see what he could do with our Villa squad plus a few astute signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert is very limited and is basically MON all over again in terms of his football. Martinez does play nice stuff but I dont think he is strong enough to deal with our bunch of overpaid troublemakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I would rather martinez,rodgers or di matteo. But i would be happy with lambert. They are all realistic targets, Probably take Rodgers out of all of those. Being unrealistic I would love someone like van Gaal, he is a real hard liner and it would be interesting to see how certain players would cope with someone like him at the helm. I would imagine peole like Collins and Dunne wouldn't last 5 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't though want Martinez either but then I'm not giving any real thought to who I would want as I don't think the job is going to be available this summer.

Mantis Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Di Matteo ?? People have short memoriesIs there anyone besides Capello, Scolari or Van Gaal that you'd be happy with? All you ever do is rubbish people's suggestions without actually suggesting any realistic alternatives yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 i doubt lambert will work for us, especially if he speaks to martin o'neill about lerner and the club. he's got a good thing going with Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
