True. But he may have spent the money better.
If he was so disenchanted why sign that new contract?

That job was to keep Villa up on a shoestring, whilst the owner looked for a buyer. How was he protecting Lerner?With regards the money spent, he fails to mention that £40 million came from the Benteke and Delph sales. What manager would prefer the money instead of those two (irreplaceable) players when facing a relegation battle?I have no problems with Lambert. He came here and did a job under very difficult circumstances. However, he would have taken us down if he hadn't have been sacked in 2015. It's no point trying to re-write history now. The heart of that Villa side was ripped out during that pre-season with the 4 key players all leaving. Lambert would have fared no better than Sherwood or Garde.

He was lying to us for three years, then, just to protect his boss? Every time he opens his mouth he makes me dislike him just that little bit more. He's a self-aggrandising liar, an incomprehensible buffoon and a fucking charlatan. I hope his contact lenses stick to his eyeballs.

Did Lerner tell him to get the keeper to pass the ball to the fullbacks standing at the corner flags? One of he most bizarre tings I have ever seen on a football pitch.
