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

[Rip Van We Go Again]

If he get's the boot he'll be well rewarded.

Only in football can you get minted for being a failure.

Didn't Fucking 'Eck get £2m out of us?

I find his present lack of ability very much at odds with his record at Colchester and Norwich.   My son's mate who is a Norwich fan through and through says that Lambert's marriage failed when he was at Norwich.

Lambert's odd rambling last week about when he got home (after a bad defeat) "you want to pan somebody but there is nobody there so you take it all into yourself".   Perhaps his private life is a car wreck.   There are quite a few men about, so I have been told, who love women more than they love football, perhaps he is one of them.   He certainly does not give me the impression of a man with his mind on the job

I agree with the previous comments about alienating the local media.  When the national broadcasters and newspapers have all moved on to the next big-club-in-turmoil/Chelsea-manager-sacked/City-to-buy-entire-Barca-first-team story, the Mail, WM, etc will still be there.  And what's more Villa will need them, especially when they're trying to flog tickets to watch a mid-ranking Championship team.

[The Man With A Stick]

If he'd shut up shop when we were two or three down against Chelsea, instead of naïvely trying to force our way back into the game, I doubt we'd be in the position we're in now.  Certainly don't think Wigan would have put three past us and we'd probably still be in both cups.

If we are going to play 3-5-2 which works ok for us, we need the defense to have 3 central defenders, and 2 holding midfielders.

We don't have enough of either to make it work.

[Pete3206]

Didn't say anything like that, but you just carry om missing the point!

I understand the point.

My take on it is that there will always be a tipping point where even the most optimistic supporter's patience is tested. Lambert had the majority on side after the heavy defeats, because despite the precarious position, we still had plenty to play for and many believed he could turn it around. Going out to Bradford was enough for some, Lambert himself appears to have lost the plot and the Millwall defeat and well and truly fanned the flames.

You could well be right and if this relationship issue has come about in the last 12/18 months he may be facing a difficult time at home however in my experience selfish driven men , and that's what a football manager needs to be, are hardly ever affected by these "minor" issues.

and I do not believe the bit in bold.

It's no good Lambert acting like a drama queen where the Mail is concerned, there is only one reason why the media, us and Uncle Tom Cobley and all are on his case.

Results.

Nor me.

Thats so unfair on Jon,  at least he lets you go with him!

[malckennedy]

I wonder what proportion of Norwich's supporters will be clamouring for Hughton to be sacked as they tumble relentlessly down the league and exit the FA Cup at the hands of a Conference team - at home. After all, he inherited a team that were comfortably mid table last season (as opposed to one that was nearly relegated for the second season running).

Where there are no credible alternatives that will help our current plight, public demands for a change of manager will hinder not help any chance we have of avoiding relegation. Lambert's increasing desparation (and the errors that come with this) have been caused by the situation he is in, trying to manage a club that has no direction. Most human beings would be influenced by this and any successor (who?) would be too.

Behave, Eastie.

Honestly Fletch, that's the biggest pile of bollocks I've read today.

I mean, what about bankers, CEO's and government officials?

How dare you disparage the banking community.

What have they ever done to you?

In Banking etc the top dogs get rewarded for failure, but so-so players get hefty transfer cuts for being shit.

Also, don't slag the banks off because they pay all our bills and match tickets.
