Might be ok?

[Mazrim]

He's a Villa player now and so I hope he makes me eat my words. But I would not expect it.
Good luck Grant. It's not your fault our club's hierarchy has lost it's fucking mind and/or given up.

To me, this just spells out that Lambert is on thin ice and Lerner won't let him spend. Still, this is the best loan deal we could get? Really?

Spot on Maz.

I'm losing the will to live with this lot at the club.

Isn't Randolph surprised that Lambo isn't making full use of his funds?

[JUAN PABLO]

with these wages , I dont know whos on what

but I think sometimes when you add the wages of a Helenius , Bowery , Holt etc etc , we might have well got some one in on better wages who is quality , who will actually play and  provide us with something , not 5 minute players off the bench.

Logical but I bet the thinking is get one player on decent wages and everybody will want a pay increase. Been said many times but I am sure we could stump up the transfer fee for a better player but won't pay premiership going rates.

I wish we could pay them just on points and forget a basic wage

Welcome Grant. A hatrick on Saturday will suffice.

[cheltenhamlion]

We are not quite as tight with wages as might be commonly believed.

If Holt is on 28, and we are covering it, it is way down our pay scale to some players still.

The current mantra is if you play like you deserve it we will pay it. Rather than a flat "Fuck off, you can have 15 grand a year and be happy" as some believe it to be.

[PaulWinch again]

Oh well now he's joined I hope he does a good job and proves me wrong, good luck.

I agree Maz, but like you say not his fault I guess. It's very worrying from a club perspective though.

[JJ-AV]

Lambert is all a bit too Owen Coyle for me.

He's a momentum manager and it's gone.

I'm very worried for the rest of the season... Saying that we do have the quality to stay up.

[JUAN PABLO]

norwich cardiff fulham and palace I think are worse

we will be ok

doesnt mean its a good the moment , its bloody awful

[Breezeblock]

What Mazrim says. *sigh*

Agreed. He put on the colours  now he deserves my support. Welcome Grant.
