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

[Greg N'Ash]

hmmmm the poll where's he's lost 36% support in under a month?

The one where he still has the support of the majority of people on here, despite one of the worst runs of results the club has had for years.

That one.

Still seeing he had 99% support at the start of the season compared with probably Houllier say about 70% and TSM at..well we won't go there, he's managed to turn over a third of true believers against him just on his football alone without any external considerations. Impressive.

Christ, Greg, that's a real piece of straw-clutching there.

Lambert's not going anywhere.  Even if we wanted to sack him we probably couldn't afford it.

[Greg N'Ash]

not really. the last two managers were immensley unpopular appointments. The daggers were out for Houllier because he said nice things about liverpool ffs. Lambert on the other hand was most people's choice including my own. Just by his hopeless management and clueless tactics, he mananged to turn 50% of people willing him to succeed into committed anti lambchops by January.. As i said impressive.

It's a poll of 378 people, it only takes a relatively small number to switch sides to change the outcome significantly. To use it as anything more than a snapshot of a specific moment in time for this site is ridiculous.

Well he's said he not being sacked even if we go down. Not much incentive to do better there.

yep people who don't want to admit they were wrong. see also MON.

Crikey, that's an even more desperate argument. "The only reason those people don't vote Lambert Out is because they don't want to admit they were wrong"

Well suit yourself paulie. Personally i don't understand why you're really against Lerner and at the same time pro-lambchop. They're working to the same plan - i.e. relegation. If lambert had any problems with it he wouldn't be telling the world how he's got a job for life and constantly forcing his way up Lerner's exhaust pipe at every press conference he gives. He's Lerner's stooge.

I'm not pro Lambert, I am pro not sacking another manager now, as it'd extinguish any chance we have of survival.

It's not that complicated.

ANYONE is better than a Lerner yes-man. I rather go down fighting than have some complacent twat who'd knows his job is safe whatever he does.

No point in changing while Lerner and his austerity measures are in place, no point whatsoever.

Hardly a ringing endoresemnt of PL but that's why i voted IN.

Lerner/Faulkner is and has been the problem though for a few years and sacking PL won't really change anything imo.

[Greg N'Ash]

Asked if Lerner had told him directly that his job was safe ‘regardless of what might happen’ this season, Lambert replied: “Yes, just the other day.”

When it was suggested to him that it was a big call for the chairman to make, given that many managers had been sacked much quicker and for less damaging results, the Villa boss joked: “It’s amazing what 20 quid can do to somebody.

“As I’ve said before he’s been great with me. Listen, nobody wants to go down at all. None whatsoever. We have to get through this season and win some games.

“There will be a few other clubs in the exact same position as us thinking we could be in trouble here.

“But that’s the relationship I have with the manager. I get on really well with him.

Sorry, but i don't want Lerner's poodle in charge.

But you don't know any of that.  PL could be a fucked off as the rest of us wishing he'd never considered the job.  I wouldn't blame him.  Lerner may have moved the goal posts, I reckon he did on MON leading to his walk out and subsequent litigation.

The constant issue here is Lerner/Faulkner, each year our playing resources are being depleted and each year there is less and less investment in the squad - stands to reason we are where we are.

Get Mourihnio in if you like and I'd suspect the outcome would be much the same.
