Agreed Eastie, but to be fair he gave Lambert £20m, which although not enough to repair the damage that has been done for the last three years, should have been enough to at least make a big difference to last year.  Lambert gambled it all on lots of very average players though, when he'd probably have been better buying two or three very good players.

The trouble is we may well pay the transfer fees but we won't pay the wages, which is why we're shopping in the lower leagues. Lerner clearly doesn't want anyone at the club on top wages. Hence the departure of our best players and the arrival of Championship ones.
It's a recipe for disaster.

Yes it is a recipe for disaster but I expect while Lerner will eventually sell up and move on we will all be left to pick up the  pieces of the utter mess he's made of our club.

His signings have been poor, none of them are ready to make an impact on the Premier League yet.

Surely Vlaar and KEA aren't 'poor'? In fact the only player I consider to look poor value for money is Benteke at present, but think he will improve.

You're right, they're not poor. But we needed improvements on Dunne and Stan, and we didn't get them.

For all the signings we've made his biggest mistake hasn't been bringing in some experience. It's a bit of a MON signing (and the type we're trying to get away from) but I think the Benteke money may have been better spent on someone like Charlie Adam.

I quite like the manager.  However,  if he keeps playing Delph over Bannan I might start getting a bit peed off.

I'd be peed off if Bannan gets back in.

Adam is fucking useless as evidenced when Wales played Scotland. I'd rather we spent the money on Benteke as I believe he'll come good and Adam will only continue to go downhill.

We, the fans, are always left to pick up the pieces whoever has been in charge.

I like the look of Benteke, but we didn't need him. The lack of quality in midfield is astonishing. We have one of the worst midfields in the league. We don't make chances, hold on to the ball or prevent chances against us.

You don't need to be in administration clampy- if you cannot see the mess we are in then I suggest you visit an optician, our squad is very weak, lacking quality and experience and we have slipped backwards in the last 3 seasons alarmingly- if you think everything under Lerner is hunky dory then please tell me where I can get what you are drinking clampy!

As for lambert our only hope is to back him and give him the cash in January - he's walked into this mess- the blame lies with Lerner.

Read the title and was coming on here to vent my spleen at the idiots suggesting it

The noise for Lambert from the away end yesterday spoke volumes for the support for his Claret and Blue army. Villa fans are in unison together and were a lot more exciting, we will click together, sooner or later

We should have kept singing it through half time like we did at Highfield Road.

Only a bellend would want Lambert sacked.

Did i say things were 'hunky dory'? Of course it's not great at the moment and we looked very poor yesterday and three games apart, have looked poor for most of the season but the club's hardly an 'utter mess'. It's easy to point the finger at Randy when we're not going well but he employed the manager most fans wanted after the Mcleish debacle and we need to give the bloke time.

Of course lambert has to be given both time and money to turn things around- it is a huge job on his hands to rebuild the squad and halt the decline at he club and I'm sure we all hope it works out well for him.
