Zatman Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 My only concern is that the Lambert style seems very similar to MON to me. Very direct, counter attacking. Hard to break down. joint highest amount of goals conceded for a side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Capello is too old and would demand massive wages. This is a long term job for a young man. I think Capello would be more interested in putting an old squad together who could win him one domestic cup in England before retirement, with no long term strategy. Leaving us with an aged squad and a neglected youth system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Why are people pulling the Pope's cap off furiously over lambert He's had one season in the PL, totally unproven Who would you like? Is it still Capello? Would I take an unemployed Capello over almost £10m in compensation to get Rodgers, Erm let me think We've got more chance of getting Van Gaal than Capello and Van Gaal is far superior.

We were discussing Lambert though.... but I take your point financially, even though Rodgers wouldn't cost 10m. Realistically, we are not getting Capello at VP mate. Who would you want realistically, or is it still Capello? They guy who has already taken millions of pounds from our national association and can't speak a word of English! Yeah good one!

Daweii Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Eh.. It has put a dampener on it but he hasn't been approached yet. I will admire his resolve if we offer him the same contract we offered McLeish and he says no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoblenzAvenue Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Evening Gents - Norwich fan here kindly allowed to post in the main forum. Had some good banter with some of your guys in the Nelson on Sunday (opposite the Compleat Angler where most of your fans were). It was interesting to me that none of them seemed really fussed when Lamberts name was brought up by us as the replacement for McLeish following his inevitable sacking - not enough experience was the main reason stated. Seems they were the exception from this thread I'm not surprised he's favourite (unless McCarthy has overtaken him now - strange one that) and as our CE said publicly yesterday we want our players & manager to be coveted as that means they're doing a good job for us. However what I do know is that we'll fight tooth & nail to keep him and our board are already pulling out all the stops. The Chairman publically announced at the player of the year dinner last night that an additional £10mill on top of the playing budget he received last year, which would probably give him £30million to spend. The CE was again bullish in his speech and in Lamberts speech he made reference to his intentions for next season. He also played on the fact that speculation was that he was leaving a couple of times, joking about last interviews with the compere (who does the local radio commentary & talks to him twice a week) Our board are confident that he'll stay, who knows what will happen if & when you come calling. He'll alsop want the opinion of Culverhouse & Karsa as they come as a 3. Others have mentioned the O'Neill factor - he'll certainly ask him his opinion as he talks to him regularly. If he does come to you, you're getting a top manager. If not its our gain but probably only a matter of time before we get the same speculation of him going to another club. You're the 3rd team in claret & blue to be strongly linked - only Scunthorpe left now!! Either way, I wish you well KA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moorski Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If we go for him big time showing him passion & ambition then I reckon he would quit Norwich no question. If he was not interested then he would commit his future to Norwich for next season at least,that he has not done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Lets be honest here, if we want Lambert we'll get him. He's done great with Norwich but after keeping them up he has done all he can do, they will never move on to European football as they lack the funds required. So he will see Villa for what it is a great opportunity to advance his career. We are a perennial Premiership team and have a large fan base, excellent training ground etc.. plus he comes in to a club with zero expectations bar not being in a relegation battle and having a bit of decent home form. He's the right man for the job and it'll likely happen. He'd have huge support from everyone at Villa the moment he walked through the doors.
