I think it is unfair to compare and contrast the times we have now to what went on in 2006.

For all of Lerner's faults i do think he has acted with the best of intentions to the club, it is a real shame that it has not worked out for him and i suspect in a few years time people will view our current chairman in a diffrent light than they do know, just as Doug is being viewed in a diffrent light as times are so bad now.

As for Lambert well anything is better than DOL.

I think DOL was married to the Leeds job and when the divorce happened he picked us up on the rebound and always gave the impression we were doing him a favour by letting him manage the Villa.

McLeish had more dignity than DOL and he took a lot more abuse than DOL ever did.

There is a lot of truth in that post and is closer to how feel than most on here right now.

For me Learner is a better owner than Ellis was because he lets the manager get on a manage, does not try to take the spotlight of the players, manager or the club, and I think has been running Villa very well at least from a business point of view, and has bought into the history of the club.

I am starting to think than Lambert may not be cut out for this job, but I think we should give him the first half of next season to prove us wrong.
