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

[Bottom Right 89]

This guy has a very good reputation for information and a large following - make of it whatever you wish-

@indykaila: Part 1: I was speaking to well respected football owner last night and they commented on Aston Villa situation. Shocking feedback

@indykaila: Part 2: Aston Villa are in shocking financial situation and they looking for help and investment. Testing times for the football club.


@indykaila: Part 3: They have issues on paying out on Lambert contract if sacked .The players also raise concerns over various issues.

So let me get this straight: we're in a bad place, we have no money to spend after years of over spending and looking for outside investment. Plus after getting rid of two managers in two years, backroom staff and settling out of court with O'Neill can't afford to pay off another managerial team in the Summer and after shit results all season the players are pissed off - fuckin'ell hold the back page, what a scoop, can see why a lot of people follow him.

Yes,and it's the clubs latest actions(or lack of)  makes me think that it may be true, or could there be another reason for the complete and utter lack of investment at a time when it was most needed?

It's nothing that we didn't know already really

[pauliewalnuts]

If only there were some sort of legislation whereby the club had to make its accounts available on a regular basis. Say, once a year. Surely that'd tell pretty much the whole picture?

Which is the point I was making. We don't know so there's no point in jumping to any conclusion. As I've said since 11.01pm on 31st January, what happens was so unfathomable that we can't at the moment blame anyone.

After the MON spend, the compo paid out to successive managers / backroom staff and the absence of some unforeseen leap in gate-receipts / commercial activities, it's no grreat surprise that the main investor has drawn in his horns; notwithstanding the fact that the timing appears ill-judged if he wants to protect his investment.
If I was in RL's position right now, I too would be looking for other investors.

We are where we are. The only issue I have right now in all of this is the lack of £20m or so last month to shore up our EPL status; All other issues are for another day when this season has played out.

I'm certainly not business savy but if surely if you're after investments then you need to make it an attractive proposition. If you were a potential investor, you see a company being owned by a billionaire who isn't prepared to put any more of his own money in so what message does that send out? and with the investment he has pumped in, the club still finds itself in this situation.

But like you said, we don't really know what's going on.

Hardly fighting off any potential suitors is he?-

Lambert is understandably eager to keep the Belgium international at Villa Park, and warned that potential suitors would need to dig deep to prise him away in the summer.

"When the guy came into Villa, people were saying to me 'who is he and why are you going for someone from Genk?"' Lambert said.

"With what he's done, he's a cult hero already.

"He's only 22 and he's got years and years ahead of him. He's not at his peak, but what he's done for me and for the club is fantastic.

"If someone wanted to buy Christian, they'd better have a few quid in their pocket."

I used to follow him and he got nothing right on Villa ever !I even tweeted him about it and got no reply.Recently he made comments about Chelsea and a Journo pulled him up saying he was talking rubbish.

I'm not saying everything is Rosy at Villa but I think he is wide of the mark with his comments.

Have the other 16 below him all been sacked?

Due this month, due this month!  *little bit of wee*

That bloke on Twatter, wasn't it the same account who was saying that Lambert was sacked a few weeks back?

[Clampy]

Like Dave suggested earlier, if i knew as much as that twitter ITK claims he does, i'd be making myself a few quid out of it, not posting it on twitter to followers who i don't even know.

Ah clampy, where have you been all week- you have been sorely missed?
David nab- it was you who posted his tweet a couple of weeks ago saying he was reliable that alerted me to him - maybe not reliable on villa news as we might hope then?
