and then who?

[taylorsworkrate]

Koeman is the most interesting suggestion I think I have seen on here. Hoddle on first glance looks a bit of a goer but when the light is on you just kind of feel you would rather not.

OGS, looked really shiny 18 months back, but has done little to inspire since.

Part of me just wants a couple of people with a bit of Villa running through their veins in charge.

Maybe OGS with Martin Laursen as his assistant?

[dave.woodhall]

Fuck me.  Hoddle, Neville and Mike Phelan. Sod alcohol, I'll take straight kerosene.

Hoddle and Phelean, dear oh dear. Which Neville may I ask?

Neville Neville

You torn your dress.

your face is a mess

I love you so.

I would take that if offered it right now you know.

Christ, me too. What a state of affairs.

[PeterWithesShin]

Not sure I would. I can't help thinking that the last thing we need right now is another very inexperienced manager and assistant.

Well, at least we've seen what OGS does in training, and whatever Lambert is doing it can't be better.

[ozzjim]

Probably not. But something to give a few days hope would be nice!

At the moment I am clinging to Vlaar being back on Sat and a fully fit Benteke tearing apart Sunderland at their place!

[silhillvilla]

Cappello ?

[Leighton]

You can just see the clowns appointing somebody like Bob Bradley. Nearly happened a few years ago didn't it, and I have no faith that they have got any wiser in the time since then.

Dave reckons OGS was their first choice. He's available now. I don't think they'd sack Lambert - they like his commitment to the cheapness cause too much - but I wonder if they'd think about that option.

I also wonder whether if we lost to Swansea and Sunderland they'd actually have no choice but to change things.

[Damo70]

Whether you think he should go or not, Lambert should be under threat and he should know that he is. Same as every player should know they are going to be dropped if they don't perform otherwise there is the risk of complacency.

Trouble is we are struggling to think of a viable managerial alternative to Lambert let alone ten viable alternatives to our outfield players today.

I don't think any manager could survive six defeats in a row, particularly against opposition which we should be competitive against and particularly playing as badly as we have.

I wanted OGS at the time and would quite like him now. However, if we are to sack the manager (something I'd only do reluctantly and sadly, if I were in Lerner's position) we must actually have a succession planned like Southampton, and not flounder about pathetically like Wolves.

I think a decision has to be made after those two games to either bring in a new manager in time for him to use the window or stick with Lambert all the way to the end of the season.

We were heading for certain relegation in 2006/2007 before those'clowns' showed up.

Oh wait....I'm probably talking bollocks again.

A bit harsh. He has had three full seasons in charge at Molde and has won the league twice in his first two seasons and the cup in the season just gone. Molde hadn't won the league for about a century before he came it should be noted.
