I know, I know...but they MAY be right ?

[Des Little]

Good riddance. 

[Quiet Lion]

Yeah they seem pretty sure of themselves to be fair.

Oh exciting times

I have just read Faulkner's rallying cry and the mail's comparison to the very similar statement two years ago. Lambert must be feeling the heat from all sides.

'Four games ago, on the back of two good home wins, we were looking up the table and feeling confident of a strong, positive finish to the season,' said the Villa chief.
'Since then we have suffered four consecutive defeats and that is hard to take. We are hurting. Fans are hurting, players and the manager are hurting. The frustration is shared by everyone who loves Aston Villa.


You read these kind of quotes at a lot of clubs just before they fire their manager. This one's a bit more generic, though that's down to Faulkner's corprate speak.

They say on TBAR that the coach has gone as well.

[not3bad]

Multiple sources saying it on Tw*tter.

So they're sacking those below him but not him? Seems odd. Cut the head off if you've decided to get rid.

[London Villan]

Interesting after the "we're in it together" statement yesterday...

[mr underhill]

if true Lambert's dead in the water too come may

Early test for TBAR's sources. If it pans out, fair enough. Doesn't pan out, can't take anything seriously until something does.

Not necessarily a bad thing.  Lambert has done some good things but the playing style has been variable at best.
Arguably the coaches are the people responsible for delivering Lambert's vision here so they should be held partly responsible. 
Add in the stories of other mistakes and then I can see why their heads are considered above the parapet and Lambert escapes (for the time being).

Equally I can also see that this is a cheap way of undermining Lambert's authority but I'd prefer to concentrate on the positives.

Has Culverhouse been sacked? : magic 8 ball answers You may rely on it.

I'll start from the position of not taking anything seriously.
