Who is available?
Who would want the job?
Who would work under such tight financial constraint?

I think there are three worse teams than us - but its all so very depressing

Malky Mackay?

The depressing thing is if we do stay up the way things are with the current board and manager we will go down eventually, probably next season.

He has previously been referred to as TOSM.

I think the scariest thing would be who Lerner would appoint next. Honestly, I think Lambert's the best he could ever appoint.
Anyone would be better than Lambert

Really. They wouldn't. Look at his predecessor for a start.
Can't really see that much difference to be honest. Our football is dire and Lambert is tactically inept. A club like Villa should not be accepting this  because they can't think they can get anyone better than a man who has broken practically every negative record there is to break.

Question marks currently over the manager, the owner and 70% of the players. It's no wonder we aren't very good.

I dont want Lambert to go. I want him to get better.

He should have reacted to the Adam substitution today. He did not.

I can't shake the feeling that Lambert has used up any credit he had with this squad. However he sets them up, they look awful. They just don't seem interested in being a team.

It may be knee-jerk, but there needs to be a huge incoming (in the form of at least one quality player) or an outgoing (in the form of Lambert going) to change the way things are headed at the Villa.

No thanks. He's just this season's Paul Lambert (at Norwich)

He's just as bad as McLeish. The only thing that saves him is that he didn't come from Small Heath.

He's nowhere near that good. Automatically sainted because his owner is a prick.

The difference is that Lambert knows this is piss, but may or may not be able to change it; McLeish wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong.

Who is it that's telling Guzan to hoof the ball from back to front then?

I disagree, I think Mackay's played coherent, modern, passing football at all times so far in his short career.

I wonder season ticket holders will start getting those phone calls from the club again asking if they plan to renew.
