and then who?

Bit harsh to say that. Very few on here were disappointed with us going after OGS and then getting Lambert.

I wasn't as OGS was too inexperienced and also (maybe unfairly) another Fergie Accolyte - to follow such luminaries as Crutches Robson, TSM, Mark McGhee, Paul Ince to name but some.

True , I was pleased we went for lambert but the football he's serving up here is nothing like what he did at Norwich - here he just seems so negative .

How do you know that?

Is he even taking his coaching badges?

I'd be tempted by a Lauren or OGS but would want someone higher up in the hierarchy to do the running of the club whilst the OGS/Lauren can coach.

Otherwise bielsa, but can't see that happening for a second.

Still think Lambert deserves the opportunity to spend some money however.

Who to, considering he'd want a return on his investment?

It is a bit harsh and I was pleased when we got lambert and the idea of developing up and coming players. What I wasn't expecting was to do this largely in a vacuum without established players that could help the up and coming players develop. In no way is this going to work without a few more established pro's in the side.

Your opinion or fact?

 If Lambert goes I would go for Gary Neville. Talks more sense than most other pundits put together. Passionate, knowledgeable and I reckon he would fancy the job and have the balls and self belief to do it. I don't think he cares about whether he makes friends or upsets people either. Did Ron Saunders care about making friends or whether he upset people?

He works with the England team, and every time I watch them they look like an international version of us, so I'm sceptical.

Knowing loads is ace, but the skill in management is getting the team to understand it too.

[Legion]

What actual managerial experience does he have?

I like Neville but can't see him being interested in the villa job , seems to have built a decent career in the media and coaching the England squad - can't see him tossing that away to come here .

I'm in the AVB or OGS camp, still think AVB has a lot to offer hands tied a little at spurs with Baldini controlling the transfers. OGS is risky but maybe Neville as his no2 would work.

[Rigadon]

Neville would kill for the villa job.  Not saying he's qualified though.
