[Leighton]

Paul Lambert can breathe a sigh of relief.  He's been backed - by Alex Mcleish:

Thats like Robert Mugabwe endorsing Idi Amin !

How do you spell Idi Amin's first name?







Hi-di-oh!

This thread has gone very quiet.

It's eastie's fault. He has his own captive audience on the Transfer thread

If he doesn't post every five minutes, an ambulance is sent for straight away.

This thread has gone very quiet.

Well, he was briefly a hero for actually signing someone, but now he's a fuckwit because he's only signed another young unknown from a lower league while Pardew has bought half of France and Harry has signed half the world. So I think people were hedging their bets.

I have changed my vote.

Get the fuck out of our club Lambert.

[Jarpie]

The more I watch Villa the more I think we're in the middle of a perfect storm with numerous factors contributing to our shortcomings.

1. Lambert. Tried to change to much too soon. Upset the senior pros (see Chelsea of last year). Only one year of premiership experience. Has a record of poor defensive organisation. Too stubborn to admit his errors.

2. Players. Too inexperienced at this level ( note - I did not say too young). Possible mutiny? Are Bent and Ireland being forced out along with Warnock and Hutton and are being disruptive influences? Results have led to confidence problems. Injuries to key players at key times.


3. Randy Lerner. Spending less money and time here than ever.

4. Fans. Week by week it seems the crowd sense impending doom and are more inclined to stay quiet/barrack than encourage the team. We're not stupid after all.


5. Almost forgot... The opposition, for the first time just about every club in relegation trouble seems to have money to burn and are strengthening at the exact time we can't (or won't).


It's a downward spiral alright. It would take something big to change our course now.

Changing too much too soon is probably one of the reasons we're struggling and I also think that he's not used to deal with the big players like Ireland, Bent, N'Zogbia etc and that's probably part of the reason why they haven't performed (except N'Zogbia lately who at least seems to be putting real effort).

Time for Lambchop to sling his hook. He's had the transfer window and he's failed. Only reason to keep him was the hope he'd spend wisely compared to a new guy who wouldn't have the time. He's totally ignored the defence so we'll  carry on shipping goals at an alarming rate with his shite tactics, criminal organisation and non-existant motivational skills. Get a new guy so we've got a chance, or failing that someone who will take us down with a bit of fight and self-respect, rather than disappearing to the championship with all sorts of nasty historic records broken. He's out of his depth and out of time.

[PaulWinch again]

Utter disaster thus far and I see no sign of improvement, hope I'm wrong.

[Risso]

Oh well, at least the useless mumbling fucker has guaranteed that'll he never get a big job ever again.  It's probably karma for all the teams he's walked out on, only we're paying the price.

[atticus snood]

His insistence on playing mind fuck formations when any 12 year old sitting in the Holte can see that 4-4-2 might have won us a few home games will see us down. Thanks Lambert. Stubborness is definitely not a virtue.

[aj2k77]

Couldn't scout out the smell of a fart in his own pants. On the other hand he might look a genius in 5 years if all these donkeys improve.

Or we could be facing karma for all the managers we've persuaded to walk out on their clubs for us?

Put Doug in charge.

All good and well, but most of those weren't performing before he even got here.  I'm sick of hearing people making excuses for players like Ireland (the formation doesn't suit him, the manager doesn't know how to deal with him) when in reality he is a work-shy waster who doesn't give a toss about the club.
