Who Do You Blame/Who Are You Angry With?

[bertlambshank]

Faulkner should be on this poll as well.

Haven't we just had a "who is to blame" thread?

[claret and blue blood]

Lerner-sole as ,the one common denominator.

[saunders_heroes]

Lerner. No one else, just Randy fuckin Lerner and his 3 consecutive years of cutbacks. Sell your best players, replace them with lower league shit, dress them up with all this "young and hungry" bullshit and hope you fool the masses.
Doesn't matter who the manager is because we simply won't pay the going rate for PL standard players. Until we do we'll continue to spiral towards the Championship.

I think the plan that Lambert has is a good one. It is not going to bring instant success but nurture future talent. If we can stay in the prem for this season then i think we will be a very good young Prem team for next season, it is just taking time to get used to the fact that we will be dicing with death for the whole season. If we stay up and turn tonight's result around and beat the saints and the Albion then i think we will be on the right track. If we stay up by a few points, i still think we will be on the right track. Should we get relegated, then if we have not won our first ten matches on the bounce, i would ask big questions. But we are Villa, and the previous sentance will never have to be analysed. WE ARE NOT GOING FUCKING DOWN. WE ARE THE VILLA, NOT SHA.

What do you reckon on 20 Million plus in Jan, at least, to keep us up ? I think it will take that much, and some sneaky loan signings.

[neo_Villan]

A bit of both. Lerner is generally responsible for the overall direction this club is taking. But a better manager then Lambert would have us playing better and higher up in the league.

[Greg N'Ash]

Lerner for being clueless, listening to idiots, believing you can survive with wigan type players but Villa type running costs
Lambert for buying into the "Plan" and for his shocking tactics, organisation and naivety.

Injuries, luck, O'Neill, the supporters.  I'm being facetious obviously but they've all been blamed in the past.

Quite plainly it's a combination of Lerner, Faulkner and Lambert.  Lerner and Faulkner (no-one knows where one's responsibilities end and the other's begin) between them have created the mess that Lambert has inherited, while the manager is manifestly failing to get the best out of the players, including several of the ones he bought.  As I said on the match thread, there is simply no excuse for a Premier League side to lose 3-1 to a side from League 2.

[mr woo]

Lambert. Absolutely.

It's his side. He identified his purchases. He's responsible for the coaching, tactics and motivation.

TSM would not have lost that game tonight. Even with the same side. And the same same bloody chairman for that matter.

P.s I was -and am still - pro Lambert.

Is the correct answer.

That's what's needed.

yep. its not rocket science and yet he can't seem to grasp the idea of marking at corners, or the players can't. Not too happy about him wanting us to "fly out the blocks" in the 2nd leg either. With our defence we could be 2-2 by half time.
