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

[TheEgo]

Fu*k me this is a depressing thread. We will be FINE. We're halfway through the season with a new and inexperienced side, PL will pull it round. He kept Norwich up comfortably and can do the same for us (perhaps slightly less comfortably) keep the faith UTV

Has anyone mentioned Mark Hughes?

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.

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.

I don't recall seeing your end of the world post after the Liverpool game? Apparently we wasn't doing really, really, REALLY badly at that point but in a week, granted of very poor results, every bit of good work and progress is to be discarded. You've simply discounted all of that plus all of the injuries to senior players that would have helped.

Still, I'm sure you'll be able to suggest his replacement given the plethora of quality choices who are currently out of work, or those willing to break their contracts and leg it to Villa Park.

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.

Agree that we have shown improvement this season, but for a third season in a row, we have suffered a bad run of injuries and have been reduced to fielding a team that simply isn't good enough in the top flight.

Do you know what, i cannot believe we are even considering this shite. Lambert Out. Are we for real.?

I said Hughes earlier. He was on the short list the last 2 times so folk say. Available immediately. Not saying I'd want him, but he is the obvious candidate if the trigger is pulled.

The trigger won't be pulled and Mark Highes has been an absolute disgrace at QPR with the biggest overpaid bunch of wankers since MON was signing the likes of Habib Bye, Shorey et al. Next you'll be saying that Stephen Ireland isn't the biggest wanker in the works ever...which he is.

And what a candidate he'd be - the bloke who assembled the team and squad currently rooted to the bottom of the table.

Sack him and replace him with?
Has he turned into a bad manager in the last couple of weeks?
No.....

Fuck me. Have we gone so low? Hughes ? Cmon Villa, FFS. No chance, we will be fine, just, then watch us go next season. UTV with Lambert.

Indeed. Let's give Lambert a chance, we've had an absolutely shocking week and noone can deny that but let's allow him to get some players in in the window. We're not buried or anything, we need to give him the chance to address our situation.

People on this board seem to confuse what someone wants to happen with what they think may happen, given particular circumstances. FFS!
