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

[Percy McCarthy]

Serious question - what is Lambert good at? I have heard some fairly specific criticisms but all the support seems a bit generalised. As a fence sitter who's losing faith, why should I believe?

He's certainly not good at substitutions.

Ok. Now back to your slagging off of Ron Vlaar....

Chocolate concrete is harder than Vlaar.

Maybe so but chocolate concrete is really, really hard. Hence 'concrete'.

But it mainly comprises of butter, cocoa powder and flour. Which is probably what Vlaar is made from as well.

Cheers. Ratios/quantities?

Actually I have got a recipe somewhere. It was in the Mercury a few years ago.

I'm surprised at you buying that rag SH. That recipe is probably deadly to Villa fans.

[Greg N'Ash]

And what if he says no, again?

We look elsewhere, like we did last time.

Aye. I don't remember any nutters in the 80's going "oh there's no-one better than Billy McNeill, we should stick with him"

[Chris Jameson]

My other half makes great flapjack and a lovely lemon drizzle cake. I'm just saying.

[PeterWithesShin]

Aye. I don't remember any nutters in the 80's going "oh there's no-one better than Billy McNeill, we should stick with him"

I remember plenty wanting Turner out and so we sacked him and ended up with McNeill.

*sigh*
Current managers who've got promoted to the premiership on a shoestring but haven't taken down the Behemoth that is Aston Villa after spending 20m on players?


there's fucking loads and i'm not going through every team that's come up to prove it. The point remains that there's plenty of names on that list you'd say "no-way" to, and why? Because in many cases they got relegated from the Premier League  which is exactly how anyone neutral would view Lambert if we went down. But far far worse, because he didn't take down a struggling blackpool or bolton or blackburn, he took a big club down after spending a fortune. Thats the point - his record would be shitter than 90% of the possible candidates

There's loads of them.

So many, you can't name one of them. Let alone a range, in case we don't get choice number one.

That says it all.

This football club management shit is piss easy.

"We've sacked them manager! Yay!"
"Hang on, who are we going to get in to replace him?"
"Errr, there's loads"
"Like who?"
"Errrr...."

you know the names paulie. The recent ones are on the other thread. Adkins, RDM for instance would both have a far far better record than Lambert if he took us down. You seem to saying there's no-one better than lambert when his record would be wretched.

If Lambert left now, and one of those joined and we still went down, then Lambert would have a better record.

So what?

Lambert's record is better than both of theirs.

He's bettered Adkins, as his team finished 12th in the league, and Adkins got the boot before getting that high. Plus he's more experienced.

Onion head got the stripeys up after losing a play off with MK Dons, and then was taking them down again (par for the course) before he got the chop, and jammily found himself at the right club, we're he was held in high esteem, at very much at the right time with a job to do the interviews that the manager would normally do.

No thanks dealer, I'll stick.

We were discussing if Lambert should stay if he took us down so your point is er pointless

[Chris Jameson]

              STOP THE BLOODY QUOTING NONSENSE

                   DOWN WITH THIS SORT OF THING

[saunders_heroes]

I don't buy it anymore. Not for a good few years now.

[PeterWithesShin]

Can we stop the quotathons please.

[saunders_heroes]

Aye. I don't remember any nutters in the 80's going "oh there's no-one better than Billy McNeill, we should stick with him"

Apparently, well according to Paulie, if the fans on here can't think of a name he should stay on and continue to drag Villa into the lower leagues.

[Greg N'Ash]

If there's Innies who think we're getting relegated anyway but want to keep him for the championship on the basis he'll get us back up with a record as horrific as Billy McNeills, then that's probably the most defeatist notion i've ever seen on here.

Sod that. GET HIM OOOT!

[Lizz]

I'm sure no one will lose sleep over this shocking revelation, but the posts I'm least likely to read are those mega-quotathon ones. I quote other posts at times, most of us do, but as soon as posts seem like some kind of long vertical pattern, my interest in reading them wanes.

[Dave Clark Five]

I'm sure

Exactly, get Alex McLeish back.
