Mantis Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Why are we discussing "he who must not be named here?" I thought that was the name given to McLeish. But if you mean MON, you surely know that every thread ends up discussing him in the end. He's not out of everyone's hair yet. Jesus Christ Let it go. When somebody insults or criticizes MON they're not insulting you.No, but they are being extremely tedious and that is what really gets me, having to plough through all the silly anti-MON nonsense.Who cares if people criticise him or don't rate him as a manager? Is that not allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not managed the club for 2 years now and is about as relevent to our current position as John Gregory or Dr. Joe.

Eames Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Well this thread is about to be locked Which is a shame because the message of the OP was a good one. Lambert needs 2/3 SEASONS to sort us out, not 2/3 months. We won't do anything spectacular this season but we will stay in the league and the football, playing squad and mood will slowly improve.

briny_ear Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I think a thread which lectures people about the need to be patient isn't really the greatest starting point, tbf. I've been supporting Villa, largely while they serve up a pile of shite, since 1961 FFS and no-one can tell me much about being patient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted August 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2012 yeah i'd say it'll take a couple of seasons at least until he's had the time to build a squad that's his. the fact the knives are out for him ALREADY in other threads is just mental.

Surely you don't pay any attention to anyone that is that narrow minded. I'm sure you are mature enough to ignore the idiots and select the posters were you can have sensible debate even if your opinions differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There's no need to worry. Lambert is a really nice bloke :angel: :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCAM Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The reason I am getting a little anxious is because I've just pumped over £500 into the club for another season ticket, I'd thought about returning it, didn't, then saw a pretty average performance on Saturday with all the same problems as last year (no pace, no width, no delivery)... I can see that we need wingers yet we don't seem to be getting any. My worry is that another year will go down the pan. Another year like the last 2 and I not only do I think I'll be refusing to renew next year, but I'll probably give up going mid season. Only 1 game in yes, but most people's tolerance for dross has been left pretty low after the last 2 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 This year was was always going to be another transitional year - it happens every time you get a new manager who is implementing a new style of play, I mean, really - what did you expect? Magic overnight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCAM Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Not overnight, but at least maybe a bit of fight...maybe some kind of improvement. I didn't really see much of an improvement apart from more passing...but passing means little when there's no final product... Like I said, im not pissed off, I'm just anxious....

Amo69 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Whilst I agree with the original post my only fear is the players we have are just not good enough for the type of football we want to play. Maybe in time this will change as they get used to Lamberts idea but we just seem so lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMcKenna Posted August 20, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2012 I find threads such as this bemusing. For the last three summers we have been asked to "be patient" and many of us renewed STs as usual in the hope that the board would reward our faith, they haven't. Like many I really expected the club to spend more than £8 million this close season. However it is now clear that PL can only buy more if he can sell the deadwood. I feel sorry for PL but whatever the OP thinks he will not survive 2/3 seasons if Lerner doesn't back him. The squad was woeful under 'he who shall not be named' and in my opinion is no better now.

Well said You do not get 2/3 seasons in ths league. Norwich had a good season but thy will struggle this season and I think they would have done under Lambert as well. Lerner must back Lambert this season or we could be in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they were world beaters when lined up next to us. I see your point but I dont really know enough about Swansea's players as indivuals to comment.

itdoesntmatterwhatthissay Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 He will get a winger and he will scout Europe. Happy days, looking forward to it. No worry here, expected us to struggle for the first 5 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
