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

[PaulWinch again]

Guaranteed at least £60 million from TV next year, just shows how it's madness that we're not investing in the squad.

You beat me to that quote MarkM! That Grauniad article about us makes very interesting reading

A spot on assessment, but Christ it's a hard read.

Well true but as the article stated we have had 3 previous managers who done 'lots of investing' and we are in the shit. We need a couple of experienced bods with points to prove and a couple of loan signings. An we can't afford to pay them really big wages - fuck me that is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place.

The fact that the fuckwits who signed players on long term contracts without a relegation reducting wages clause (the Porn magnates over at the Sty managed that) will kill us next season and we will be another Leeds.

Here's some investment people have been advocating - we can sack Lambert and pay him a few million quid and who knows thereafter hire Dimatteo and pay Chelsea a couple of million as well thrown in.

This might just be me being thick, but why would we have to pay Chelsea a couple of million if we appointed Di Matteo?  Not that we should appoint him anyway, but surely he's a free agent?

It is a tough read but the photo of the empty seating is harsh. That's the away section possibly against Wigan

Wigan were in the Lower tier.

Out. Im convinced now if we stay up it will be despite of him, terrible substitution and came out like they'd all had a 15 minute kip at half time.

That's the worry for me, he just can't seem to motivate them to play or inspire confidence for a full 90 minutes.

-24 second half goal difference.

Doesn't help that we cannot bring on anyone in midfield with anything like enough quality but does it suggest also other teams are reacting to what happens and adjust accordingly ? I just don't know with them now need a boost from somewhere a late winner, just anything, even the draws lately are games thrown away.

[saunders_heroes]

His substitutions are terrible.

[kippaxvilla2]

When he disappeared down the tunnel in the 2nd half, I thought Villa were going to be the first club in history to sack a manager during a game.

We wouldn't be the first. By phone, no less.

"During the second half I had a call from Gary Walker, one of the directors, who said he was sorry to interrupt me and then told me I'd been sacked,"

[rob_bridge]

I dread to think who they'd appoint next.

Steve Bruce.

Bruce said he could never after his experience at Newcastle and TSM at Villa

On the other hand Gary Megson never said anything of the sort
