No one. We will come right, of that I'm sure and Paul Lambert will be our new Ron Saunders. 
Somebody on here (can't remember who) said the same about McLeish.

Hope you're right though, winning a title will be nice.

I would never have said that about McLeish, but I do like what Lambert is doing. I'm not panicking yet Mark and I still believe Lambert is a good long term bet.   

Do you still like what Lambert is doing?

I blame my Uncle Gordon. My old man was never into football so Gordon took me and our kid to the Villa, got us hooked and look at me now...

Iam worried about the situation, but dont think the blame likes with the current manager and dont think it is the chairman either. There is one person who was backed massively and bought a load of shit and paid a lot of shit IMO. Yes, we had a good short term under him, but he soon fecked off didnt he when the reigns had to be tightened. I thought he was the massiah, now I think he is a prize you know what

1. Anyone can "claim" money for whatever they want, it doesn't make the claim valid.

2. The club and MON reached a settlement. Nobody "won" or "lost" anything.
You'll have to explain to me how someone who walks out of their job and yet successfully claims for compensation from their employer hasn't won.

Lerner of course. The very idea you can compete in the PL with lower league trash is bonkers beyond belief. He is an incompetent fool who should not be in charge of a football club. Especially ours.

I blame me. Every fooking game i put a bet on Villa to win. Not anymore, No bets = Villa win.
No more betting for me. To quote the Mrs " You may aswell chuck that 10 Euros down the drain."
Full of positivity my Mrs. Mind you, she is a Leeds fan ::)

i do, i think you are very short sighted risbert.

What is that you like? 

The scintillating football? (15 goals scored in 20 games, even Alex McLeish had managed 22 at the same point last season)
The superb defence? (39 goals conceded in 20 games, say no more)
The tactical mastery? (the reversion to a 5-3-2 has been a masterstroke hasn't it?)

I can't see anything from Lambert whatsoever that gives me any hope for the future, he's vying with McNeill for the title of worst Villa manager in 30 years.

I'm still behind Lambert.

Do you still think Stephen Ireland will be a Villa legend?

So much delusion on here. Some fans think things are going to click into place and we'll have a team to marvel at. It's not going to happen. We sold practically all our top players and replaced them with lower league nobodies on YTS wages. It's a recipe for disaster, yet still there's some who think its a master plan waiting to unfold.

If Gordon hasn't of taken us the other half of the family would have taken us down to B-lose bro so be grateful for small mercies. It's never that bad, nearly but not quite.

Riss, he has taken over a shambles of a set up though.MON left us in the shite, Kev Mac= fair play, Houllier= maybe and then TSM  :'(. The inheritence was not good and we have been sliding since. Give Lambert his due, give him a chance. Let him have a go. We will get there, sometime soon. The last thing we need is to get on Lambert's back. We cannot afford to change managers at will. We need some stability for gods sake. Even if we go down, keep him and the young lads. Reality check will be at the end of  January, when we have spent in the transfer window. Keep the faith mate, we all have to.UTV

One day the facts of this will emerge. Right now, with the few facts we have, I think Randy was probably more unreasonable than MoN.

Because we don't know what he was claiming and don't know what we were offering. We also don't know what the contractual situation was. In the end it was settled by the two parties.
