Sir Doug picked Lambert

[PeterWithesShin]

One things for sure, even he would never have picked that last one................

Indeed. He picked Turner and McNeill who were shit enough to relegate us.

chuckle... good old revisionism. File with he'd never have had our kits made by some no name company like Macron. Henson *cough...cough*

With anyone else, such delusional utterings from an octogenarian would be dismissed as an old man going insane, but Herbert's been coming out with stuff like this for more than 40 years!!

So, Sir Doug picked Lambert?  Was that just after telling us that Mcshit was a very good Manager?  He's a complete egotistical knob and I have no respect for him whatsoever.  His opinions mean shit.

I wonder what he would have said if we had hired Mick McCarthy.

That he knew him when he was in the Beatles.

SGT quit the second time around not Doug sacking him. And from the horses mouth himself, SGT said he knew his time was up when the board refused to cut their loses and get rid of Alpay

Ron Saunders? My memory might be playing tricks but if I remember correctly the Bendalls were in charge at that point. Doug didn't take over until after the European Cup win,  and Ron Saunders had left by then

[Percy McCarthy]

Correct. Ron left in February, Doug came back in November.

Yes, indeed - he came back in November 82 and we were relegated by May 87! Well done Sir....taking over the European Champions and then the 5 year master plan really worked!

Nice to know Brian Little & John Gregory were sacked and Ron Saunders left while Doug was around.

I noticed that one!  "I had 13 managers, and sacked 11 of them!  Ron Saunders resigned and Graham Taylor I allowed to go to England!'

A though occured to me last night, Doug WASN'T at the Villa when Saunders resigned, it was the Bendalls!!
Ron walked away in 1982!!
I mentioned in an earlier post he'd try and claim '81, '82 & '83

Really? I can't believe no-one thought to mention it.

He knew Lambert was the man because of the quality of running off the ball Norwich displayed in the last game of the season. "In my many years of both playing and watching football I have learnt the importance of work and running off the ball". Priceless.

[claretandblue barmy]

He's our very own Dave Whelan !

Brian Little Resigned, JG resigned, I do think DOL was sacked though.

Doug please give it a rest on the football, i have no problems with you talking about your charity work and your donations but leave the football comments alone.
