Lambert OUT

[olaftab]

Would regain my faith getting in, Hoddle, if not as a manager as a player.

Thanks for trying to make  us laugh tonight.

Having a go at Lambert on the basis of his accent and enunciation is childish, unintelligent and frankly just lazy.

If you actually could be bothered to listen, you'd be able to understand him.

He had a successful playing career and before joining us a good managerial one too.

The fact that he is the sixth longest serving manager in the division is largely as a result of other clubs and fans not giving a manager time. It's no surprise that Ferguson and Wenger had success and the likes of Liverpool who previously had a great record went off the boil somewhat.

What position do those calling for his head actually expect us to be in?

I expect us to beat Palace at home.

Have to say, I'm not saying 'sack him now and replace him with anyone', but losing to Palace at home is an extraordinary low.

I don't think it all boils down to league position, as I'm guessing most would have estimated mid table to lower midtable at this stage. What gets people is that the quality, and style of football is unfathomably shit.

We have a number of players, signed by Lambert, who struggle to pass the ball 5 yards to a teammate.

We have a number of players, signed by Lambert, who are slow, turgid and lack any sort of dynamism

We have a defender (Baker) who may just be the worst central defender in the league, yet is still picked by Lambert.

What do we have to look forward to signing wise in January (if anything)? More shit from League 1, Championship, Holland, Poland? We don't even seem to be buying the best in those countries. We seem to be signing established average players from them.

[olaftab]

I would like to turn it around that not beating Palace at home, who really are rubbish as it was obvious all afternoon, is a low.

Someone talking sense at last. And Hoddle - it's f*#Ģing frightening that people can genuinely believe the guy would be a serious contender. Good god - Will Villa fans ever learn?????

[frank black]

Who cares how he speaks? The Southampton manager can't even speak English and they play football we can only dream of at the moment.

He's got an interpreter.

That's it!  Sack Lambert and get the interpreter. Or keep Lambert and get an interpreter ;-))

[AlexAlexCropley]

Amongst the shitstorm that is happening at pitch level,what worries me more is the fact people are seriously thinking of Hoddle as a serious candidate for us .They are deluded and blind.
Maybe they were "bad" in a previous life.

[kippaxvilla2]

Enough is enough - time to sack him and make another attempt for OGS , if he doesn't want it then someone like hoddle who at least plays decent football and is tactically astute.

Exactly what is so fantastically good that OGS has done exactly at this level not the Mickey Mouse Norwegian league that is.

[Drummond]

Ok. So we should expect to beat Palace at home. You would hope we could. But anything can happen, look at who we've got results against as evidence!

Position doesn't matter, playing style does ... Except if we were playing beautiful football and were in the relegation places people would argue differently.

[cdward]

Randy will not sack Lambert while we are getting  crowds of 37.5k, while the wages/revenue ccontinues to move in the right direction and we are sitting in 13th. With reasonable excuses/injuries to point at, Randy will not want to pay out compensation. Nothing will change.

[Mazrim]

I can see why people are suggesting Hoddle. It's simply because we're so starved of passing exciting attacking football. I'm not sure Hoddle is the man we need. I just know why he's being touted.

[PaulWinch again]

I would say my greatest concern is that the wheels are falling off at exactly the same stage as last season. This on top of the fact that not one of the players we signed in the summer has proven to be better than what we had. Ok Okore may be, but we don't know. As a result we have a squad that has no real options and looks completely inadequate. Not good enough on any level.

[Grande Pablo]

I'm as unhappy as everybody else, but what are the options if Lambert was to go?  Brainstorming:

Mackay - drubbed 3-0 at home today
Jol - never pulled up many trees, but would handle the continental mix better - likes to spend
OGS - as a previous poster said, what has he actually achieved
Hoddle -  been out of the English game too long?
Clarke - done nothing apart from spunked money even more carlessly than Lambert
AVB - no chance - chequebook is firmly closed
Holloway - right up Lerner's street

The raft of promising Championship mangers would need paying off - Adkins - Davies - Dyche - Pearson

Change for changes sake?

[aj2k77]

Is there any expecatations on anyone to achieve anything at all at the Villa?

The Chairman is MIA and never utters a peep.
The manager loses game after game and has a habbit of breaking records, the kind you don't want to break.
The players make similar mistakes week in week out whilst playing like a bunch of plumbers, no offence to plumbers.
The coach, who seems to have the ability to uncoach the ability from players signed from clubs in lower leagues see's fit to call fans fucking morons.
The chief executive is shite when it comes to running a club, he should go execute some chiefs.

And during all this nothing happens. There are no consequences to under performing, the gravy train keeps rolling on. No one seems to be pushing for anything more than surviving and 40pts a season. If this is the future you can count me out. There is no plan, there certainly seems no realistic plan. Signing players from Crewe and Chesterfield is no kind of plan.
