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

[SoccerHQ]

Really hope it dosen't happen but tbh not beating a league 2 side over two legs in a semi final and losing to Southampton and WBA would be sackable offence imo.

Question would be timing with January transfer window but we'd still have 15 league games to get enough points to stay up and start again. People were advocating sacking TSM after the bolton game when we were very much in relegation danger with just 3 league games left after all!

In my article I do stress that the Southampton game takes on huge importance because it can really point us in the right direction. Of course there is time for us to win it, and against the Baggies and the Barcodes and still go down but I would find it hugely unlikely that if we clawed our way out of danger we would slip back again, just because I expect if we did it, we'd have reinforced by then with a bit of quality.

To my mind, seven points from the next three in the league is very much acceptable. There are only three league games in Feb and March has never been a good month for us. We could also have a League Cup Final hangover, should we make it there.

That was a reflection of the sheer desperation of the situation with three games left, though.

So, Lambert out?

That's more humiliating than the 8-0.

Lerner out.

It's not quite record-ever-defeat-embarrassing as we still have the 2nd leg to claw it back but it's certainly shambolic. Where's that 'Proud to be a Villa fan' thread?  I've never been so ashamed of the club.

25% to the sack.

I'd fire him if we don't turn around the second leg, lose at West Brom and don't beat Southampton.

Big two weeks coming up.

Don't matter if he is sacked or not the club is a mess
3 years now we have been poor this was icing on the cake

[Ross]

Worst result in generations, just after our worst set of results.

If that persuade him to offer his resignation then it begs the question how much worse does it need to get?

[PaulWinch again]

That result is as bad as I remember, just humiliating. We've been embarrassed in front of the nation again.

[villainjock]

anyone remember this statement
"We need to be clear and candid with ourselves and with supporters about what we have lacked in recent years," Lerner said. "Compelling play and results that instil a sense of confidence that Villa is on the right track have been plainly absent. The most immediate action that we can take is to look carefully at our options in terms of bringing in a new manager who sees the club's potential and embraces our collective expectations."

Lose to Soton and he should go. Have said so since the Wigan game. Even his own signings aren't playing for him FFS!

[sirlordbaltimore]

He's shown nothing so far to make me feel he's even better than McLeish. And if the Ginger one had been producing the kind of dross Lambert has, he'd have been hung from the tallest lampost in Witton by now.

He hasn't got a clue

Yup, just when you think things can't get any worse, Villa play on TV and make us the punchline of every joke in the office for the next couple of weeks.

What is it about us on TV?
