Why would Lerner sack a manager only to have to pay off his contract with the money he refused to back him with?

Indeed.

Presumably because a 10m payoff now is better than losing 60m in the summer? I agree that sort of logic doesn't seem to be Randy's "thing".

What about Di Matteo?

(I admit, I've had a pop or two)

He's quite shrewd i reckon. Presented with Randy's Ajax of the midlands plan, i think he'd run a mile as Martinez did. Only the desperate or the thick go for it


(And before anyone starts, only a total imbecile would believe Martinez turned us down before speaking to us)

He's gotta go. You can't preside over the month we've just had and keep your job. The problem is (and it makes me want to weep) that I don't think a new manager can save us, we don't have time (and probably the money) to bring in new players, the existing players aren't good enough to keep us up and any new manager will probably be sought from the very lowest tier of possible choices. It is just so sad.

Just what have we done collectively as a group of supporters to deserve the last three seasons? I just want it to stop.

For a youngster, you talk a lot of sense. I didn't agree this time last week, but I HAVE To now.

He just looks like he's had the will sapped out of him.

Just like the fans on our coach on the way home.

Lambert out.

First time I've seen this from you Pauline, obviously being at the game was it that bad?

Yes, it was.  First half not too bad second half all over the place.

Not long got home.  Shattered.

Tomorrow, I may pick myself up and go again.

@7govscott: @PeteSmithBBC hearing that Lambert could be replaced by Glenn Roeder tomorrow! If correct that would be an incredible appointment by #AVFC

Who is this pete smith at the bbc?

Certainly a joe kinnear type of appointment if it did happen but to be honest roeder couldnt do worse than this guy - do it and lets move on - with lambert we are dead and buried.

And then who at the start of next season? And then who after 4 months when we are mid table in the Championship. And then who when we don't make the playoffs.

We are going down unless we reincarnate Stein and Clough in the next few days.

Sadly I feel it is too late - we are already dead & buried. Lerner knows it, Faulkner knows it & Lambert knows it. Therefore no one will get sacked & we will just keep going being an average team on a low wage bill in the championship.

If you have the right man you keep him, but if you have the  wrong man you dont bury your head in the sand and pretend it will all be ok - it takes balls to admit it was a mistake , but randy must show those balls and we move on with a new man - you cant keep sacking managers but when someone fucks up as spectacularly as lambert has then action has be taken fast .

Ive seen the turners, mcneills, mcleishs etc but this manager tops them all - he is a disaster.
Randy will not get blamed for appointing lambert but its all crashed down and none of us could have foreseen such a dreadful season.
I expect the old mutual agreement line  to be trotted out .
