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

[PaulWinch again]

A foreign coach with fresh ideas would be nice.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Look at that.  Over 95% want him gone.  Do the high rollers at the club ever look at stuff like this?

It's the kind of number that will eventually be picked up and used by one of the journalists that come on here.

The best coach out there at the moment to get that squad playing attractive winning football, who would be free and jump at the chance is Glenn Hoddle.


He'd be a great fit

[Damo70]

We always have the old 'appoint the assistant manager' plan B.

Who is next in line, Shay Given or Jack Woodward?

Is it just me or does this sound like he's already written the game off?

“But our season won’t be defined by Arsenal [the 0-5 loss last Sunday] and Chelsea. It will be after that we have to get wins. I know we can do it. I’ve spoke to the lads, they believe they can do it.”

[brian green]

The sentence in that piece that makes your blood run cold refers to him being under no pressure from above.

Taking over Villa at the moment would be his punishment for something he did in a previous life.

I'm convinced he's taking us down and will get a year in the championship to right his wrongs. It's absolutely soul destroying.

Equally chilling and utterly baffling.

[Risso]

This is frankly astonishing:

"Villa’s league record since that contract was signed reads: Played 19, won 2, drawn 6, lost 11, scored 7, conceded 29"

[andyh]

Another write up about our position.
The deluded ones comments about the Arsenal/Chelsea games not defining the season, make me want to punch his fucking face in.

This is frankly astonishing:

2 wins in half a season is a bit scary really.

[Monty]

All things considered, that's as depressing an article about the Villa as I've read. And we've been depressing over the years.

The most astonishing thing was, as ViD said, he appears to have given up on the Chelsea match and 'spoken to the lads', who 'agree'. You can only hope this is an attempt to take the pressure off for tomorrow, but it's hardly the words of a man who'll inspire confidence in a flailing, drowning team. Perhaps his attitude, which does appear quite flippant and sulky, has something to do with the complete lack of pressure from above.

Imagine if he happened to be a plumber in your new build and his task success ratio was the same
