The two things that irk me more than anything about him is the amount of chances he was given and yet still intimates he had a raw deal.  And second, that he constantly moaned about crap budgets and yet there are managers who spent less than he did and got them to a half decent finish or in Leicesters case won the league.  It's not always about what you spend but the way you spend it and whether or not the person managing the team is a buffoon or not Paul.

This is how I feel.  He was given the club's full backing and got longer than any manager outside of MON over the last decade and just couldn't turn us around.  Think he did a very good job at Norwich and is a decent manager, but certainly wasn't up to it at Villa.

Or at pretty much every other managerial job he has had, so Norwich is now beginning to look like the exception.  I think allowing him to tread water for far too long was one the main reasons for the situation we find ourselves in.

See I speak as someone who for a long time backed Lambert and felt that if given time he would turn it around, but it was that final season which sold it to me that he was not up to it. I think we were right to give him as long as we did, because when he took over we well in very bad shape, whereas when the likes of Hollier and mad Alec took over they at least had a decent squad to work with.  As far as saving us that season we got the timing of change from Lambert to Sherwood just right, its just that Sherwood proved another poor Lerner appointment.  And it is a string of poor manageral appointments which pretty much done Randy in at Villa.

Lambert use of the Nuremberg defence is wishy washy at best. As Brian states, when history comes to judge him on his time at B6, he will be viewed as a willing participator in our demise.

It seems increasingly likely that Lambo was told to stay on as a sale was imminent and the long contract was purely by way of financial compensation.

Quite a few posters were putting forward this theory when TSM2 started contradicting himself within paragraphs, and sometimes within sentences.

"Why haven't you tried to sign X, Y or Z"?

"I tried to sign all of those. Then I heard the terms, and I fell out out of the seat"

"Is there a salary cap?"

"Er no. Nothing like that! Not a t all. No, nay, never"

"Are transfer funds limited?"

"No, nay, never, ever anything like that!"

"Why are you such a tnuc getting on everyone's wick?"

"I am sucking Satan's dick."

"Your big, your strong, get up the pitch and you will cause havoc because of your size". Only a man who took his coaching badges in Germany can come up with revolutionary stuff like that.

'The 47 year old, who is without a managerial job at the moment.......'

Do you reckon he gets drunk and emotional sometimes, phones up the club late at night and says sorry and asks if we will have him back?

If I owned the club i'd hire him and have him back.






















Just so as I could have the pleasure of sacking the twat again.

He must know what a phone is. He manages to get in the touch with the press regularly to keep his name 'out there'. I doubt they are all chasing him.
