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

[aj2k77]

For all the piss taking of Tim Sherwood on this thread he picked up 42 pts from 22 games. A far better record than anything Lambert will ever achieve, another manager like Fat Sam and Pardew who despite the piss taking, results show they are much better than what we have.

Sherwood took over a team which had £110 million spent on them earlier that season and had bedded in. He also knew the players. Parachuting in a new manager with no money to spend and no ability to bring in new players is completely different.

I'm not saying employ him here, just that he's much better than Lambert.

Having seen the Bolton v Liverpool game last night, I was impressed with how Lennon has improved Bolton since he's been there, from bottom to mid table and is just what Villa need. Although the Scousers outplayed them, Bolton worked really hard as a team and might have pinched it but for the sending off. Perhaps Lambert might have a Scottish mumble with Lennon and pick up a few tips.

I also saw a Bolton player whip in a cross and could not remember a Villa player doing that.

I doubt it mate, he went to Bayern Munich and came back with the stupid goal kicks to fullbacks near the corner flag idea. He'd probably go to Bolton and come back with the drum.

You could argue that they hadn't bedded in, which is why they got rid of AVB.

Gary Johnson's available with no compensation

It's not a bad record though is it. For years some of the managers have been slated on here and we'd kill to go on a run that their teams have.

Just been listening to the Gould & hodgson podcast. Gould mentioned something Lambert said in a press conference along the lines of "its all about length of a managers contract"

Gould said he should have faced disciplinary action.

What's that about? I don't remember anything like that.

"Better than Lambert" - the faintest of faint praise.

I'm better than Lambert, I know this because I finished 2nd on Championship manager

[mr underhill]

my cousin's lad finished bottom and even he's better

I would give Lennon a go.  Not Sherwood.  Besides he has a much bigger task and that is helping us out by sealing QPR's fate

[Monty]

Believe me, NO, and I mean NO, to Neil Lennon. I don't know how closely any of you followed Celtic during his time there, but bloody hell was it grim, and annoying, and irritating and pointless.

Explain because I seem to remember him doing a good job at Celtic? Even if it is a Micky mouse league. 

I just think that when options are limited then someone like that would be worth trying.  He has decent top level experience, seems to be able to motivate players, and has a liverly personality.  All qualities which Lambert lacks.
