On loan yeah. With a view to getting in the Chelsea side. No chance they could have signed him on a permanent deal.

Regardless of which transfer-targets did or didn't materialise, his obvious Managerial flaws were shown-up when Tim Sherwood managed to get an almost instant return from the very same players that Lambert couldn't/wasn't. The lack of service to Benteke being the obvious difference.

Also, for all of the arguments that he could raise about how he was unable to compete financially with other Premier League clubs, he can never ever defend his record of getting knocked out of cup competitions by so many lower league sides.

Lukaku was mentioned at the time and I think Lamberk even wanted him after Benteke stayed, but yes if memory serves it was only a loan move.
So we do have a nasty streak that we have all been calling for, when a manager wants to hand in his resignation, we tie that bastard up and only let him out on match days accompanied by a couple of hit men, that also explains why it looked like the players did not have a clue on match days, that was the only day then saw Mac mumble, all makes sense now.

Going down this season will be music to the ears of Sherwood, Lambert and McLeish. History will forget the relentless decline in squad quality that got us here.

Our plight this season has been the stuff of dreams for our previous managers under Lerner.  Carte blanche to totally re-write the history of your time at the club with the media ready and waiting to lap it up.

at this rate we are going to end up in a revised book of Hans Christen Anderson Fairy Tales. Lambert is a tool of Ireland-esque proportions.

What we have here is start of the unseemly sight of all those responsible for the decline leading to the impending relegation abdicating any share of the blame and pointing the finger elsewhere. Expect more to come.  Sure, Lerner is ultimately the chief culprit, but Lambert is being very selective here.  If he had any integrity he would have packed his bags after the 15-0 Christmas or the Bradford semi.
Everyone will have their say except our owner silent Bob. I'm looking forward to him selling,I think then and only then will MON break radio silence, that will be fun...

It's incredible how absolutely everything can be spun in several ways.  We all know that those three should be taking their fair share of blame for what's coming in May.  They will all use what's coming in May to demonstrate how brilliant they were to keep us up.

Yep, it will be "they did a great job keeping Villa up working in such difficult circumstances" instead of "they were absolute pony for the majority of their time at the club and have played a part in where Villa now find themselves".

There is some truth in what Lambert says – but that wasn’t the job description he was working with. It was to cut the wages, and unearth transfer bargains.

When he joined us, Lambert’s credentials were promising, and he hasn’t suddenly become a bad manager. But the truth is that he lacked that undefinable chutzpah to be a successful PL manager, and I think he knows it.

Like Brendan Rodgers, after a while they know they are not going to make it bu hang on til they are found out.

So Lambert's brief was to cut, cut and cut and get the team playing good football.  All the cutting stuff is true and the good football is wide of the mark as Paul kept telling us week in week out how fantastic we were.

"You tried to resign? That's interesting, Paul. Why do you think you couldn't have just walked out?"

"I just do."

Thick Paul Lambert, talking shite since 2012.

Ah, Mr Lambert. The man who thought Jordan Bowery was a premiership squad player. Enough said.

I tried to resign, but instead waited 3 months and signed a new contract.

Hmmm. Ok Paul.
