Big_John_10 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 He improved and got it right in the end. His signings continue to improve and Benteke is one of the best signings this club has ever made. On to next year. Hopefully we won't see a repeat of the mistakes this year and be comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Been a struggle no doubt about that but to keep us up whilst at the same time completely rebuilding the side based on young hungry players is some achievement. We have got better and better this last 4 months. Lerner needs to back him now as with four or five signings over the summer to build on some very solid foundations and we can really kick on next season. Bring it on 2013/14. Can't wait.

sonic_bouma Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 We have been awful at times this year and seeing us concede goal after goal for months has been soul destroying but it would have been a travesty if we had gone down because the last couple of months have been superb football Lowton, Westwood,Sylla,Delph,Weimann have all come on brilliantly as for Tekkers enough said Well done Lambert, you have stuck to your philosophy and took a young squad to safety it is crucial now that we buy in the right areas of the squad and kick on next year we need to break free of these constant relegation battles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarpie Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 He's brought back the joy back into watching Villa play in these last three months. When his Villa play well, they play proper good football and that's what I've wanted to see since the 90s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thank f**k common sense won over stubbornness. Thats what has kept us up and not some magical potion the manager has concocted. No excuses next season. Start the same way again and i will personally leave him swimming with the fishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Our gamble with youth has paid off. Stayed up ahead of QPRs heavy spending and Wigan's flooded import brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Well done Paul, you kept us up. Now just get a couple of old heads and build for next year. We are all right behind you. Paul Lamberts Claret and Blue Army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bose Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 His concentration now should be to get Benteke and Weimann to sign new contracts. Please make it happen. Keeping Benteke would be quite the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwan Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Money can't buy you class (but a lot of money might get you a trophy). Lambert kept on with the players he believed in and they came through for him, not some 130k/week mercenary who doesn't give a toss. Insanely excited for next year and this summer for once.

DeHavilland Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Obviously made up we are staying up, to be honest if we had gone, my Villa world would have not stopped revolving, but it may have done if it had cost us Lambert. I would have been totally gutted, he is the best thing too happen for us for year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Made plenty of mistakes but since half time against Newcastle we have played cracking football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 His gamble with young, relatively in-experienced players has just about paid off (by the skin of our teeth!) I just hope that with the best part of £250k pw off the payroll next season (Bent, Dunne, Petrov, Given, Ireland), that Lambert can unearth a few more gems of the Benteke/Sylla mould from abroad, the Westwood's/Lowton's from the lower leagues, and who knows maybe a 'marquee' player or two. One thing I think that we can ALL agree on is that this must not happen again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I just hope he gets backed in the summer. He has us playing the most exciting football we've played in a long time, and with an inexperienced team at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely apologise for calling for his head back in general.It was a tough time for all fans of the club, we all say things in the heat of the moment. I think the only reason I wasn't calling for his head at the time was that I was happy for him to stay in charge, even if we went down. I was just getting sick of all the upheaval of a new manager every season, and felt that Lambert would get things right in time. I hope that didn't come across as 'better fan than you' or anything like that, I think we're all glad that he's got things right and we're playing PL football next season!

Mantis Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What tipped me over the edge was the Bradford defeat in the cup. As far as the league's gone I think he's done a solid job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
