and then who?

[Toronto Villa]

@patmurphybbc: may bring in a couple but not attention grabbers.Money just not there anymore.Take it up with Lerner,not Lambert

@patmurphybbc: when cameras/microphones r off Lambert's relaxed.Got no pressures from Lerner,mentions 'project' a lot lately tho'

@patmurphybbc: He's going nowhere,he & Lerner are as tight as a drum

@patmurphybbc: Doesn't appear to be feeling the pressure when we deal with him.Seems fairly imperturbable,doesn't complain about finances

I think Pat Murphy knows marginally more than fuck all

[Des Little]

Lambert knows he's safe as houses here. This is clear during his press conferences - he's almost horizontal

[Matt Collins]

Lambert is not going any time soon.

[eastie]

I'm not sure he would go even if relegated .

[supertom]

I just think given our financial situation there's no way in hell we'd fire another manager. We can't afford the payoff. It worries me that Lambert seems reasonably content we've got 20 points at the half way stage. As if we're just going for 40 points and simply surviving.
I think the ambition at this club has completely gone. Randy wants us to maintain premier league status for as small a budget as possible. If that means finishing 17th, he's probably now content for that to be good enough. That's how it seems.

Where does "the project" take us though? I'm not sure it gets any better because anytime we have a better player, like Benteke, simply scraping survival isn't good enough to keep players like that. Meaning we're always perpetually losing better players and hoping we've got adequate replacements.

It's worrying because if you play it like this, all it takes is a bad injury run and a poor run of form and suddenly you find yourself relegated. It might not happen this season, but at the moment a future in the champ seems more certain than a future comfortably ensconced in the top 8.

Is probably the right answer.

[PeterWithesShin]

I'm sure Randy and the two Pauls regularly tell Pat Murphy who much we are going to spend. He's just guessing.

Not healthy having no pressure to succeed.

Unless succeeding is keeping us up on as less a budget as possible , in which case he is succeeding at present.

[danlanza]

He is doing as he is told by the Higher management. He will not be sacked as long as we are in the premier league. Yawns uncontrollably.

A newspaper a week or so ago ran a big back page headline that OGS was about to take over at the Stripeyfilth.

A week later the same paper said OGS was on the verge of joining Cardiff.

They just guess.

[PeterWithesShin]

Most of us would guess the same thing. We'll sign a couple and not spend a fortune. It's hardly the work of Poirot.

Alex Ferguson has had a word in Olly's ear, so the rumour goes and told him not to touch Cardiff with a long shitty pole. Albion , on the other hand could start his Prem management. Good choice if he goes to the Baggies.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Is Pat Murphy a Villa fan?

[Phil from the upper holte]

He seems to tweet about us a lot
