Paul Lambert (R)

[tomd2103]

Thinking about it over the past couple of weeks, I believe that letting Lambert just coast along for too long did the real damage to the club.  I think it's probably where the poor attitudes and serious malaise really set in and it can't be shifted.  He really is one of the last people I want to hear talking about Villa.

He is just a shit manager now. All his mates in punditry will start to struggle defend him when it becomes more and more evident. We should make him a little bit of silverware for getting us to 15th on a shoestring as he makes out. A shoestring which allowed Gabby to earn a contract close to 60k a week.

Good point, the thrashings and losses to lower league teams were seen as acceptable to the top brass and that attitude cascaded downward.

If I could understand a word he said, I'm fairly sure I'd be loaded off with him too. He's a cockwomble of a Manager.

[OzVilla]

Lambert is 2nd only to Lerner in culpability for where we are now. He did a terrible job, bought together an awful squad, bullys as coaches and developed a losing mentality.

[SoccerHQ]

Lambert's also been whining about the Venkys in last few days, wants a good promotion budget...did he not follow how they've run Blackburn last few years, they ruined a solid established premier league club far quicker than even Lerner could manage.

Always amazes me these managers who whine about low budgets and difficult owners...and then join a club with an even lower budget and crackpot owners.

By that logic he'll end up at Leeds next, I'm not convinced Lambert will even still be Blackburn manager when we get round to playing them.

Dear Paul

Fuck Off.

By the sounds of Lambert is already looking for a way out of Blackburn, he is finished as a manager

Lets just wait until he releases the book "We go again"

[Ron Manager]

Its quite possible that Roy Keane brought these matters to Lambert's attention. Realising that Lambert was not going to take any action he opted to clear off.

[Hookeysmith]

It actually makes me think that the whole "bullygate" affair, the Keane offering players out etc was really the start of player power rising. It only needed a weak, still thinking he is one of them, manager for it to have grown even more

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I bet the whole bullying affair was raised by certain players to get rid of some fitness and coaching regimes they did not like

Boy this club is rotten and as Black subtly put it - "On the verge of Anarchy"

Keane offering who out exactly?

[Hookeysmith]

It is alleged that he turned up at Cleverley's house ranting to come out and sort it out like men IIRC

[Clampy]

I saw a picture of him this morning somewhere (might have been the metro) and he looked different. Oh and yes, I wish he'd stop yapping about us.

[saunders_heroes]

If I were a Blackburn fan I'd be a bit pissed off to hear him constantly talking about a different club. He sounds like a jilted lover. It's over, Paul, just move on.

[Richard E]

Are him and Nursey married or something? They seem to be in each other's pockets all the time.
