The Paul Lambert thread - poll reset after our capitulation to Hull

[Toronto Villa]

Am assuming this is from the press conference today:

DAMIAN JOHNSON ‏@JohnsonDamian  1h
Villa boss Paul Lambert on owner Randy Lerner's statement on future of club due next week "I fully intend to be here next season"

I wouldn't expect him to say anything different. He has a great job which he hasn't done well in and is paid well for it. *Face palm*

[not3bad]

TSM said the same immediately after the Norwich game.

TSM was slightly more reserved. He said he didn't have any reason to expect that he wouldn't be here. Subtle difference.

By that stage I believe he was only in contact via email/text with Owner and CEO.

Not sure if that is the case with Lambert - does anyone else have anything concrete?

I'm pretty sure the situation is that Lambert is completely in the dark.

[pauliewalnuts]

They're about to cover his press conference on SSN.

[supertom]

He might intend to be here next season, whether he expects to, is another matter.

[Monty]

'Intend' isn't any different to the other night's 'love to'. Doesn't change anything, least of all the points total.

[abc123cox]

Has this club ever been in such a limbo as it is right now?

[Toronto Villa]

didn't TSM even suggest he was already planning for next season days before he go the heave-ho?

[Richard E]

He was saying it explicitly post-match after Norwich let alone days before he got the Spanish Archer.

[mr underhill]

didn't Lambert also say today he thought we were brilliant at Man City? I want whatever he's taking

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He might intend to be here next season, whether he expects to, is another matter.

I guess it all depends on whether or not he gets himself a season ticket.

Has this club ever been in such a limbo as it is right now?

Yes, I'd say from around the 9th of August 2010, when we managed to sign a massive waste of oxygen without a manager in place.

Yep that's when I knew we were trouble. Buying and selling players without a manager at the club is a sign something serious is up.

We are still no closer to discovering who sanctioned that decision, which must have cost the club over £12 million at least.

Would you own up to that? I'd be whistling and walking away with my hands in my pocket.

I can understand that, but considering the penny pinching since then, it was an absolute waste and a stupid mistake made by people with no footballing nous.
