How can somebody who looks, sounds and acts like Paul Lambert have a master plan? Answer, he doesn't it's an experiment. He does look, sound and act like somebody who would experiment.The question is; is it his or his boss's experiment?It's his boss's. Lambert just couldn't turn down the chance to manage a club as big as the Villa. He'll certainly never get another chance. This is a guess, but buy on the cheap for few years, tread water and then hopefully we would be better financially to buy better players.... As said looks like Randy is no longer interested, I suppose the summer will tell.It perhaps started out as a hobby for Lerner, but it is definitely solely a business now. He will not go down the road of big players/big wages. No chance.O'Neill left because it was spelt out, General Krulak disappeared and Lerner no longer attends. Its over for the owner, he's selling (if he can)

When is the final btw? Have they moved it back to last game or is it on a premier league weekend?

Well the Browns he inherited from his father, and by the end he must have just been desperate for absolutely any way out. The Villa, though, are his personal project, from his early support during his university days. I think he cares about the club much more than people seem to think, and there's no way that he's on the take - he just makes a lot of very poor footballing decisions.
I think we will obtain 1 more point a draw either at SWansea or at home to Hull.Baggies will get a win and will be the top team in the midlands....FFS ...Lambert prove me wrong!!!!

Hull play us on May 3rd, they then have 2 more league games before the final on 17th May so dont think they will be resting players against us, we just have to hope their minds are elsewhere.
