Pundit (because let's face it, he's not really a manager any more) in stating the bleeding obvious shocker!!!

His last sentence there is perfectly correct.

"I loved my time there - it was great, it really was a great club to be at and you move on for one reason or another," he said.

Yep. the reason being that he was completely and utterly out of his depth.

From the Express.

Aston Villa are 'difficult' to manage because of the fans - Paul Lambert
FORMER boss Paul Lambert says the expectation of Aston Villa fans makes them a tough club to manage.
By JACK WILSON
PUBLISHED: 22:20, Sun, Oct 14, 2018 | UPDATED: 22:32, Sun, Oct 14, 2018

Steve Bruce was given the boot by Aston Villa chiefs last week with Dean Smith announced as the man to replace him.

Bruce guided Villa to the Championship play-offs last season - only to miss out on promotion after losing to Fulham.

Lambert himself has managed Villa in the Premier League and he knows just how tough it will be for the new man at the helm.

"It's difficult because of the expectation level really," he told Sky Sports.

"The club was trying to get sold [when I was there] but the fans have got the history of a European Cup-winning football club.

"You've got that, a big fanbase behind you, who every time expect you to be up there."

He may have had to deal with lofty ambitions from the Villa Park faithful but that didn't stop Lambert loving life in the Midlands.

"I loved my time there - it was great, it really was a great club to be at and you move on for one reason or another," he said.

"But the expectancy level was really really high, always.

"Dean Smith is going to have to master that side of it."

Lambert spent three years at Villa before being sacked in 2015 with the club 18th in the Premier League table.

The Scot was replaced by Tim Sherwood but he was unable to stop Villa finishing rock bottom, 17 points off off 19th-placed Norwich.

Nothing wrong with what he’s said there to be fair.

Nope, but 'move on for one reason or another' is pretty funny.

Superb.  The one reason being.....you're sacked.

Until recently, I thought the one good thing Lambert did for us was bring us Benteke, until I learned that it was McLeish that first spotted him and put him into our scouting system, for Lambert to pick up.

Expecting to win games, with a bit of nice football thrown in if possible is hardly a burden for managers, more a key performance indicator.

And the way TSMII managed the team would indicate that he wasn't up to the job, but by all means keep making those excuses.

You useless ******.

Two fifteenth place finishes, our heaviest top flight defeat in our entire history and losing a two legged cup semi final to a team three divisions below us. Yes Paul I think we did all have slightly higher expectations than all that.

Lambert moaning about the expectation at the club in the exact period our expectations were set lower than they had been for decades.
