Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[Toronto Villa]

If Lambert gets us relegated, there isn't a cat in hells chance that he will staying he job. Can you really see the fans accepting that?  Long term planning goes out of the window if we are relegated.

I don't think that he'd be fired at all. In fact we'd have a much better chance of coming back up with him in charge.

Why?  It's him that's got us into this position.  No ever Villa manager ever has turned in a Christmas period like this.  This season has been a disaster so far.

Because it would provide continuity and the club wouldn't be back to chopping and changing yet again. Unless off course Neil Warnock is free and you would rather he took over.

Swansea, Ipswich, Southampton. 6 points and into the next round of the FA Cup. No probs. UTV.

What the hell has continuity got to do with it? If he takes us down he has to go. We've been appalling this season and he has to take his portion of responsibility. I'd hope he'd resign anyway.
Hopefully the real culprit will come to his senses and scraps his deranged idea that we can compete in the PL with a team packed with lower league players. Lerner has lost the plot and has turned the squad into an abomination.

Agreed. Still think we will be ok though.

We all agree Mcleish was shite and should have fecked off. Thing is as much as I like Lambert and his philosophy, we were amongst the higher spenders in the summer so surely should be higher.  I want Lambert to succeed, but he has to get some nous when it is going to be tough

[PaulWinch again]

He doesn't need to go, he needs to recognise his errors and be back in the transfer market.

The Chelsea fans have been a bit quiet since Benitez won four league games on the spin.  If somebody is doing really, really, REALLY badly at their job, as Lambert certainly is, you sack them and try to get somebody better in.  Lambert's performance has just been unacceptably poor since he took over, and there has been no sign of improvement, whatsoever.

Maybe Lambert would have done better with Chelsea's players

There have been signs of improvement. It would be a gross lie to say there haven't. Then last Sunday and the past 6 days took place.

There is also a huge difference in taking over a side with Cahill, Lampard, Mata, Oscar and Hazardg at your command. Its a real cackhanded argument to try and compare the managerial situation at Chelsea and Villa Park given the paucity of quality we have.

Riss, he has had fuck all to work with pal. Keep the faith. We all need long term posters on here to keep the faith,.33000 + posts dont lie. Cmon, Riss, faith is all thats needed. Villa will never go down.

Still waiting for your suggestions re how we go about that, right now, assuming we sack him.

As for "no sign of improvement whatsoever" - that is nonsense. Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U, Newcastle, Swansea off the top of my head.

[JJ-AV]

Another point re. the last three games, or two home games specifically; when I was a kid I used to get Villa tickets for Christmas.

I imagine that as six-year-old if my festive 'treat' was to see us lose three and four nil, in the cold, with a volatile atmosphere I'd be reconsidering my list for the next year.

Aren't Fat Sam and Roy Keane our saviours? Mind you it's gone a bit quiet on the Fat Sam front since West Ham started losing.

I agree with Risso on quite a few things but, really, the constant need to sack the manager and immediately replace him with a non existent, immediately available alternative is getting more and more ridiculous.

Roy Keane? Crikey. He'd put together a handful of shit performances and we'd be on to Howard Wilkinson as the next saviour.

It will come good, all of it. UTV
