Lambert OUT

[taylorsworkrate]

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.

Yes because it's impossible to play attractive football and also be in a reasonable league position. Swansea and the baggies are proof of that from last season.

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?

There are more managers in the world than a handful of the usual suspects and Premier league failures you know. We aren't exactly known for breeding great coaches on this island, maybe it's time to look where real football is played.

Agree the realistic alternatives are not a Who's who of Clough, Michels, Stein etc... but someone punted Koeman which may be worth a punt though the thought that Lerner and Faulkner exploring that option is unlikely to say the least. Holloway would be more likely.

Help us all.

Spot on. If we are to make a change lets not make the same mistakes again.

We should also expect to be able to score a goal in more than 33% of our home games.

I think so far this season at Villa Park we have witnessed about 45 minutes of entertainment, it is amazing that 37k tooled down there today on the back of that....

I have no faith whatsoever in Lambert now I'm afraid, whatever the rights and wrongs of Randy's position nowadays there is only one man who has had THREE transfer windows and refused point blank to bring in any experience to our club....if you want to be so one-eyed about a policy your neck is on the line if it goes wrong.

As a club that has been established in the top division for many years we shouldn't dumb down our expectations, we expect to compete in the top half and the custodians of the club own that expectation, as such the team manager has to have the ability to manage that expectation.  It feels as though Lambert is not up to that task to me.  I'm sure those expectations will be viewed by non-Villa supporters as arrogant but who cares? Our club answer to us only....

Rantings from me;
We have no experience in the side.
We ONLY sign players with no top flight experience
The only good signings Lambert has made are Benteke & resigning Guzan.
We have no leaders on the pitch.
We run but have no quality on the ball
As a quality midfielder himself he has not purchased one good one.
Once the 'hungry' young players get the fat contract they have been crap - man-management?

I'm another that thinks we need a DOF + manager/coach - would like to see part of that arrangement have a connection / understanding of the club

Can't wait for Saturday.... :-(

Injuries accounted for and the wage bill accepted can anyone defend £43 million spent and 3 transfer windows later we have a midfield 2 today of Delph and El Ahamadi? Criminal.

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.

Add Pochettino's interpreter to the 'potential new manager' list.

[richtheholtender]

He hasn't allowed the situation to get that bad. I mean we can allow a 24 million pound striker to leave on loan.

This old Chestnut again, 0-0, last 5 minutes of an important relegation 6 pointer. The ball Is whipped into the box. Who do you want on the end of it? Jordan Bowery 10 goals in 102 games or Darren Bent?

We are paying his fucking wages.

Fixed it for you.

Lambert won't be sacked, Lerner would have to stump up more cash pay offLambert and to attract a new manager. Imagine who we'd get with the budget any manager would have to work within. Nobody with any quality would want to come near Villa Park, unless they had a death wish.

Which means we need to either hope things can be turned around or we need to make changes to the players. I would hope that Lambert & Lerner are aware of what we need & are working on getting things sorted soon. If not we are in for another bumpy ride.

The coach, who ... see's fit to call fans fucking morons.

What's this about?
