Quote from: Rudy Lambert on July 03, 2012, 11:49:26 AMQuote from: Phil from the upper holte on July 03, 2012, 10:33:24 AMDon't really know much about them in a coaching way but welcome aboardThey are very highly rated by the Norwich fans, especially Culverhouse, who appears to be the footballing brain with Lambert as Mr Motivator. As one Norwich fan put it, "without Culverhouse, Villa have bought a very expensive car without an engine".I found this that may explain how Lambert's backroom team work:QuoteKarsa's role is to look at the videos. He is the most expensive fella ever to lie in bed all day, but he is worth every penny. He knows every move that every player has made in every league he has worked in. The guy also has a photographic memory and Lambert will be lost without him. He is the key member of staff at the club. His job is to work out the strengths and weaknesses of every opposition team and player. He forwards the template to Culverhouse and Cully sets up the team to attack the opposition weaknesses and rebutt the opposition strengths. Lambert had the easy job. He motivated the players before kick-off and at half-time, picked the team and the transfer targets, the latter with Cully. All this unrequited love for Lambert from the Canary faithful was completely misplaced. It should be 'there's only one Gary Karsa'. City's strength was a tightly knit management team.The more i hear the more excited i become about the new season - fucking bring it on

For some reason I read this and had a flashback of a picture of Sir Brian Little standing together with Allan Evans and John Gregory. Everything about this off season has filled me with hope and optimism.
Imagine having to watch DVDs of Villa from last season. You would be swinging from a joist by a length of flex
Karsa sounds like the guy Jonah Hill plays in Moneyball.

Obviously anyone who's party piece to relax the players is putting a paper cup on the floor and then curling one out into it whilst standing on a hotel bed is a big loss. Although the FA weren't impressed when he was SGT's England coach and sacked him for it. Nice trivia question, which England number two got sacked for publically doing one.
