Aston Villa v Manchester United Post-Match Thread

I don't think lambert is good for avfc. We can dress it up but his tenure has been shocking so far. I wouldn't lose any sleep if we sacked him.

Replacement?

Precisely. Who?

Ahh now here it comes again.

There is football outside of the British Isles aswell you know, just thought I'd mention it before someone cries out Jol, Mctwat, Holloway etc.

Fuck knows, but if Lambert got turfed tomorrow I wouldn't shed any tears. I don't think he'll ever cut it here.
As for replacements we could say "I'd love x, or y" but fuck knows who Randolph would hire.

I am all ears!

We have too many players who are barely Championship standard. I really think we will find it difficult to stay up this season because on current form we are the worst team in the division, we're actually worse than last season if truth be told.

Our defense reminds me of 1987, the only difference being back then we didn't have a player then who feigned injury to cover up his ineptitude.

Lambert will not be sacked/replaced, he is doing exactly what the owner wants, keeping us in  the PL without having to spend too much. 
Randy must love this fixture, full house and extra tv revenue.  Why would he care about the result, he makes even more money out of this game than under MON as the wages are lower and income is higher. Lambert is going nowhere and so are Villa.

[Clark W Griswold]

What the fuck is a facial injury?

He was given a facial and it caused him an injury.

[SoccerHQ]

I'm still behind Lambert although not without reason as the quality of football must improve 2nd half of the season.

That said I wouldn't have a hesitation in paying up overnight If a maverick like Marcelo Bielsa could be tempted to the premier league. I loved watching that Bilbao side he managed a year or two ago.

There are promising managers out there who may well fancy a try in the Premier League, I'm sure. A quick look online comes up with Solksjaer, Hyppia, Malky Mackay, Goncharenko (not sure about this one, but more research might come up trumps), Vito Pereira, Peter Bosz, Koeman....I'm sure there are planty of good coaches who would consider Villa, and the Premier League, a chance to move up the ladder.

Wrong, if we sack Lambore we will replace him with a Warnock or Holloway because we are completely insignificant and no one would consider us. Seems we've spent so long we can't compete with the Fulhams of this world we've started to believe it. Let's have some ambition.

We could attract plenty of decent managers if we wanted to. The problem is Randy wants a budget manager to work on a tight budget, which limits your options.

[Clark W Griswold]

Not keen on Lambert and wouldn't give a shit if he was sacked, but on the other hand whoever comes in under this regime is unlikely to make a huge difference. And of course, if by some miracle he did do a lot better, the key players would be sold anyway and we'd be back to square one. Unless someone is going to come in and make us no longer a 'selling club' the cycle of the past 15 years will continue. Be nice to get someone that could get us in a position to have taken advantage on days like today though.

I agree, whoever comes in I think top 8 is the height of ambition without a lot of finance - but the football might be much better to watch.

A good tactician with a bit of nous could take us up a notch and make us look a bit more organised on the pitch.  Who that is, is another matter.
