Quite, I bet Lambert would have liked to use Petrov, Makoun and Gardner at times this season, as well as Dunne, to lose 4 players for an entire 1st half of the season is rank bad luck, to lose half a dozen on top for several weeks has compounded this massively.

Oh come on. He knew Petrov and Dunne wouldn't be playing, and he sent Makoun out on loan.

We couldn't play Makoun due to work permit issues, but I blame Lambert for not finding a way around employment law.

It's not good enough.

Too right.

This is the WORST EVER work permit issue in the club's history. He makes McLeish look good.

55 pages in and nobody has put anything like a convincing argument forward for moving him on.

He's shit, and given us our worst start, worst ever result, the least goals scored (apart from QPR) and the worst defence in the league.  There.  The first half against Swansea was probably the most disorganised display by a Villa side in living memory.  And he mumbles like on old drunk.

The mumbling is your full on new assault isn't it Risso. I understood every word after the game yesterday, softly spoken scottish it may be, but Dalglish is 50 times worse, and Ferguson used to mumble, just like an old drunk in fact. I am not sure the way he speaks is relevant to his ability as a manager, which up until this season has been a pretty impressive success.

Worst start to a season ever, record defeat, record goals conceded, a point above relegation zone, fewest home wins, lowest goal scorers etc.
No convincing argument then?

Again, wholly unconvincing and subjective, with mild undertones of racism.

Slightly tongue in cheek, but you wouldn't see that in your quest to make sure everyone knows how shit everything is.

No, none.

A convincing argument has to be that sacking him *now* would likely improve our situation.

The one even remotely feasible suggestion we've had for replacing him, Di Matteo, is all well and good (debatably), but nobody has yet explained how they think this managerial replacement is going to be hired, installed and ready to go in time to do something in the transfer window.

Everyone knows how shit the season has been before, we've all seen the results, watched the games, seen the league table. Don't you think we realise that?

It's just that the vast majority, 92 percent currently, can see that sacking him now would make no sense whatsoever.

Did you not know trying to see the positives and looking for things that provide hope for the future are futile, and that we will be relegated without question with Lambert as manager Lee. Has it not sunk in yet. Damn you for questioning the football gods that have decreed this to be so. Damn you.

I don't want him sacked, I want him properly backed with wages to match the transfer fees. I can understand fans wanting him out though. His team has been utterly shit this season, no question.

In his defense there's the semi-fianl of a major trophy to throw in the mix.  A cup run that has seen us score a minimum of 3 goals in each tie.  It doesn't excuse the Chelsea result mind as nothing can.

Our 3 - 0 home loss to Wigan is also a record is it not?

He still has my full support.  But, defeat to Bradford (a distinct possibility given the woefulness of our defence) and a loss against Southampton could evaporate that.
