Some guy on Twatter.

Quote
Paul Lambert just walk past me saying: "He is absolutely shite the c*nt." Not sure who he was talking about but assume he didn't play well.

I think reality is setting in.

Was he walking past a mirror at the time?

I really think we could have any manager in charge and we'd be in pretty much the same position. I'd stick with Lambert because, on the evidence of what he has done with other clubs, he does have a clue about football, tactics and so on.   I know it's desperate but we have simply got to keep backing our man and team until we have achieved safety.  Next summer we will invest once more and hopefully make progress. 


Sorry but you're mad.

Right now, if i'm honest what manager with anything approaching a decent reputation would take over if Lambert did go? It really is a poison chalice at the moment.

Lambert seems to have run out of ideas, he looks like a rabbit in the headlights as he stands on the touchline. I really think he is out of his depth and doesn't know how to stop the slide. Who we replace him with ......................... no idea at the moment.

Agree and I do feel for him, but he's not waving he's drowning.  He's gone from a bright young manager to a beaten man in the space of a few months.  I have supported him up until now, but just can't see him turning it around and feel we need to act now.

We are in a desperate situation and we need desperate measures.  I'm not really thinking straight at this point, but rather than appoint another full-time manager at this point, I would appoint a Villa man until the end of the season (someone like Graham Taylor) and then at the end of the season would get him to make necessary changes for next season (whichever league we are in) and advise on the next appointment.     
That is what the Villa does to a man.Only SGT mk1 knew it and came out better for it.

@RorySmithTimes: I like Paul Lambert. But his blanking of perfectly reasonable questions from @MatKendrick in the presser tonight was petulant and pointless.

I think sacking the manager now and giving the new guy no time and money would be a mistake. Who would take in on n such circumstances?

If we look down and out already; its a win win for anyone that wants the job.

save us the guys a genius.

we go down, and the accepted wisdom will be that we were dead on arrival anyway.

Which is what the board planned all along.

What's that saying...Don't attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence?

What could they possibly gain from this? You make it sound like the club is run by a Bond villain.

Mosley has tweeted that ' do the club really want a war with the press'
Not good. PL behaviour is making things worse. Said it for weeks but he is clearly showing signs of a manger who has  lost he plot. No going back now. I expect to see him gone before Tuesday one way or another. The Aston villa farce continues
