It's entirely up to you. I would hope that all right-thinking people would.
If casual racism was his thing I'm sure he'd have mentioned that Lerner is Jewish, but he didn't.

You'll agree that "American fuckwit" is out of order then?
Yes. Just plain old "fuckwit" sums him up beautifully.
No fan of lambert but seeing Lerner seemed to have screwed every manager since MON, I tend to believe his version. He did a shit job but given what he was asked to do its not surprising. Yeah he took the job but there's not many managers who haven't got an inflated opinion of their abilities otherwise they wouldn't be managers, and yeah he toed the official line and didn't complain at the time but so did all the rest, and so is Garde, for now. You can have a go at him for keeping quiet when employed by us but i can't see the problem with him speaking out now. As a shite manager he's obviously trying to justify his failure but even if he'd been half competant he'd never have done owt with that Villa set-up - one of the reasons I'm not that bothered about Garde limping on as lame-duck manager is because the reincarnation of ron saunders couldn't build a successful team with these cowboys at the helm
Checking the news this morning it appears both TSM's will be speaking out on Soccer Saturday today about their respective sentences while incarcerated at Aston Villa FC. Apparently Lambert was 'delighted' when he got the sack, and now McCleish is also bemoaning the hand he was given, ie. no money to spend, cutting the wage bill, while trying to remain competitive in the league.Lambert again mumbles darkly about things 'going on behind the scenes' that he shouldn't have put up with (without ever specifying what these things were and risking non-compliance with the terms of his generous severance package). As the saying goes, 'Put up or shut up'.
