Simple poll - OGS vs Lambert

[eastie]

Funny. A week ago, Lambert would have won this against the field. Had we not known about the OGS meeting, most would be delighted about Lambert being the new boss. There would not have been many that were truly upset. A week in football truly is a long time.

That planespotter must never have dreamt the change of direction in peoples thoughts the minute he tipped people off that randys plane was in oslo- without knowing that and if it had been kept hush hush we would mostly be clamouring for lambert.

Funny how things change but no doubt ogs is a decent candidate.

Think i would rather Lambert just,but id be happy with either

[petegoldring]

I went with OGS but I would be very happy with either TBH.

[Chipsticks]

I wonder if the majority of Villa fans will get behind OGS? Could be some anti-united crap.

[Concrete John]

Both are good choices, but Ole shades it for me due to the excitement factor.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Head says Lambert, heart says OGS.

[john e]

its a no brainer for me, Lambert wasnt in my top 5 anyway

[luke25]

As the 100th voter I demand my prize of OGS as manager!

[luke25]

I wonder if the majority of Villa fans will get behind OGS? Could be some anti-united crap.

I can't see that being an issue in any way, shape or form.

[dicedlam]

Sold on Ole.
Cant give you a reason to why, other than the bloke seems to be on a mission to get to the top.
If we are part of that journey, then I'm up for it.

Maybe Paul Lambert should release a propaganda video on YouTube seeing as so many people seem to be using that as a basis for deciding Solskjær is a great manager who plays football 'the right way'

He doesn't have to. There's plenty of hard evidence on Norwich. With Lambert you almost know what you are getting, plus he meets most of the criteria we would want in our next manager. With OGS we all think from our limited information that he meets the same criteria, we are influenced by his background, and by the fact that he has
been succesful in his own league immediately. It is the complete unknown that is intriguing. A bit like a bird being more attractive with a sexy dress on the first time you see her, than being competely naked from the start. You want to be teased a little.

Youre right. The danger is you could spend all night buying her drinks and flirting with her, only to take her home, lift her skirt and find....well, you've seen The Crying Game haven't you.

Yeh, but that's still better than seeing the girl naked, doing the dirty only to be told a few days later that Patrice used to be Pat, a burly fireman that lost his way.

OGS because he will have learnt a lot of good watching SAF when warming the bench at MU and then being part of SAF's inner circle when reserve coach. He also gives me the impression that he could handle big egos, not too sure that Lambert can nor does he convince me that he can motivate his team in the same way that OGC might.

I'd be happy with either, but on balance I'd choose Lambert. I just think he is the right fit, and that some of the criticisms of him are unduly harsh. Also, what are believed to be his weaknesses might be what ultimately makes him so well suited to the job. We've had a manager who tried to make sweeping change in Houllier and that did not turn out well. What we need, is a manager who brings about incremental rather than dramatic change and not to transform too much too soon.

This is where my opinion differs...there is so much wrong with the first team squad that immediate and effective changes are required.

We do have some good footballers in the squad so they should welcome and embrace any changes that OGS implements, and I'm sure most of our midfield and forwards will benefit, improve and be transformed under OGS...but its the donkeys (mainly our defensive unit) that will have problems to adapt. In which case, fuck them off and get better players in...and I would be quite happy if the likes of Dunne, Collins, Warnock and Hutton never wear a Villa shirt again.

If the new manager has a budget of £15-25m then we can afford to replace all of the defenders, and still have cash to spare with any funds generated from their sales to invest in may be 1 or 2 midfielders.

OGS as I think it would be a refreshing change at the Villa.  Although Lambert would also be a good appointment perhaps too much like the MON days?

[littlevillain]

I still don't get this whole sudden love affair with OGS. I'm sure he's a decent young,exciting coach but we've already got those in the premiership!.
His coaching experience is basically with the kids and reserves at united and in the Norwegian league with capacity crowds of 11k.
I really hope I'm wrong but it all seems a little small time.
