Lambert Out?

[PeterWithesShin]

As we're not going down it doesn't matter anyway. But IF we did drop i'd be tempted to keep him for the simple reason at some stage we've got to start having stability. Another new season, another new manager, another set of coaches and back to square one.

It would also depend on how we went down. If we finished bottom with 12 points then of course that would be a whole different kettle of fish.

If the rebuilding PL is doing now doesn't work, when he has the draw of being a premier league club, how can people be confident it  would it work in the Championship (with less wages to offer and a VERY tough league to get promoted from)?  Also a league where Villa would be the biggest scalp in years. 

I like the cut of his jib and wish him well, but relegation this year would be disastrous for Villa and for my money would also mean that Paul Lambert hadn't cut it.  We've been in the top flight for a couple of decades and have been relatively successful to most other teams in the land.  How is it that a manager taking us down, when one that was so utterly despised didn't, OK?  You bunch of oddballs

I'd keep him too. The damage has been caused by the instability of the constant change in styles and personnel. I also think the team will come good given time.

It doesn't seem to me your big problem is the manager, although I have to say he doesn't exactly inspire confidence that you'll start climbing the table any time soon. It just seems to be you've lost too many decent players too soon and replaced them with inferior counterparts that don't seem to go together to form a balanced side.

Scoring goals is the main problem at the moment. You've got the goalscorers, but you're not getting the service to them which suggests a problem with the midfield.

Fancy a job Sendo?

I wouldn't have to speak with a Scottish accent and send people to sleep in my post match interviews would I?

No, we  had McLeish for that

[ozzjim]

He is a top manager in the making. Long term even if relegated sticking by him will bring rewards. We have to give someone the time to sort it and re invent in their own image.

You've got Lambert for that too...

[ozzjim]

Sooner have that than Sam.

Don't try and deflect away from your boring Black Country bozo

[Risso]

I wouldn't.  The football and the results are far worse than what Allardyce is managing at West Ham.

This. I might look into changing the board though.

Did you want Sam over Lambert in the summer?

I'd have chosen him over Lambert this summer.
