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

[David_Nab]

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?

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?

Yup said RDM was in talks with the club to replace him

In terms of "points per game managed" in the top four divisions this season, Lambert ranks 106 out of 122

Have the other 16 below him all been sacked?

They've all been in charge for much less games

Yes you are right - of 122 managers in the league this season there is no manager who has managed at least 25 games with a worse points per game ratio than lambert- shocking record of 0.84 points a game.

I wonder if that's a record for any past Villa manager. I'm losing track of the horrific history we are creating this season. I get the feeling that in years to come we'll be recounting the events of this season to the next generation of Villa fans.

I'm not sure how many more times I can take filing out of the North stand lower after the final whistle past all the singing and dancing away fans. It's my Groundhog day feeling.

I know. You can understand the views of some fans that we might be better off in a lower division.

It's bloody horrible going past the coach park every home game, having to put a brave face on when walking past grinning away fans (or spitting, in the case of Man Utd fans)

It's been the same for years hasn't it? Each time thinking things will improve...

[Malandro]

Lambert : “There’s 13 cup finals for us to play but the way the lads are playing right now, they can do that.

“A lot depends on what other teams do. You can only do your job. There’s no grey area — you know what you have to do.

“I’m not going to talk about relegation, it’s a defeatest attitude. If you do that, it brings negativity and there’s 13 games left to go.

“It would be different if there was only three games to go. You’d think ‘We’re definitely in this’.”

Actually Lambert  We’re definitely in it

[eastie]

You can only do your job- well please do it then lambert, 2 points from the last 24 is hardly inspiring , time to sink or swim!

It's the occasional optimism that'll do us all in eventually. Time for a different approach......

Any Aston Villa manager with the audacity to have us placed higher than sixth in the table at any point after mid-September should be immediately relieved of his duties.
Any Aston Villa manager shall be permitted ONE cup semi-final. Any subsequent quarter-final shall be played with his P45 on constant display on the big screens.
No Aston Villa manager shall be permitted to allow the team to go on an unbeaten run of more than four games, UNLESS all subsequent games are drab goalless draws.

There'll be a lot more sighing, but that'll pass eventually.
And I might live a little longer.

I think you need to check your figures. We've drawn three of the last five. Not great, but if you're going to keep quoting stats it might be worth checking them first.

Sorry chris 3 from 24 it is then. No question that tomorrow is a huge huge game and we must win .

heh. So he wants 6 wins!? Ignoring the fact its highly unlikely we'd need 39 points to stay up, what a way to take all the pressure of the players by setting them a batshit mad target. All those anti-lambchops on here must at least concede this is a man-management masterstroke from one of the country's most promising managers *cough*

Sorry, who's conceding what? And there's no need to type out your ailments.

Only if you're naive enough to think that what is said in a press conference constitutes "management. The truth is you'd have a go at him whatever he said; if he says nothing he's attacked, if he tries to be positive he's attacked.
