Culverhouse and Karsa suspended (Now both sacked: Reply #876)

[DangerousBri]

What a mess this whole thing is, but i do think its the start of a rebuild & i do think this could be a tactic of hopefully Lambert will walk because we all know he has this ego and thinks he is right etc and with all the stories coming out the club of 'bullying' etc i really think it could be a way to try get him to walk so we dont need to pay componsation.

Also if the rumours about Gabby and Delph are true its a disgrace and fair play to both Gabby and Delph for sticking up for Sid. Also if the rumours are true about Marc Albrighton being sent home alone are true then all 3 of them deserve to go.

I am looking forward to sat now and best of luck to Sid and Shay with their new roles.

Those rumours from a few pages ago of Delph and Gabby being left out of the Fulham games because of a fall out with Culverhouse is shocking if true.

Not shocking at all. Culverhouse probably relayed the bust up to Lambert and at that time Lambert supported his Management team by leaving out both players. Post that further information (prob) came to light  and Lambert has taken a different decision. If two players were left out in a key game because of wrong information from Karsa and Culverhouse than suspension followed by dismissal is the right path.

Not shocking in terms of the process you have suggested. More the fact we may reflect on those three points thrown away at the end of the season due to off field issues.

Lambert ended up sending out what must have been a demoralised group without two key players. Even a point and we'd be pretty much safe.

It is a  good thing to hear  that two assistants of Mr Wegoagain  have been suspended. Infact, in Italy we say that there is not two without three. . . 
Fingers crossed, then. . .

New owners slogan will be "Crap last four years. Bright future."

Pol Pot would have those last 4 years erased, he's the kind we need in B6.

I'd love to see P. Pot painted on the tarmac in the car park.

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that this is Lambert's decision.

There is no way he would allow himself to be undermined by Faulkner coming in and suspending them without his agreement. His cryptic comments on the weekend and the rumours about strife at BMH previously seems to add up with the total loss of form in the past four games.

What's TBAR?

Ask Eastie

F*cking hell, I don't mind "ITK's" and don't knock them all as attention seekers like some people seem to.  But this 'Admin' fella on TBAR has as his avatar a picture of God (morgan freeman in Bruce almighty).  Would it be possible to be any more up your own arse?

All seeing Admin.  Apparently Admin does not engage in chat nor does Admin respond to post.  Twat.

It's unbelievable.  I thought the forum was ok until I saw that.  Then nearly threw up.  I quite like the different sites (VT etc) and have no agenda, but bloody hell....

Looking for scapegoats,,what did they do and/or what did they say?  I can guess the latter.

Didn't Delph stick-up for Sid when fatty Dunne and Collins went all rambunctious in '11 (might be imagining that) ?

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Whatever's happened we'll probably never know fully.
I just hope the change has a positive effect on the players and we can get those 3 or 4 points we need to see us through this season, then think again. With or without Lambert.
Sid is a Villa legend, but that doesn't make him an automatic successful influence. I'd love it if it works, but if it doesn't I'd hate to see fans on his back because he hasn't come up to their expectations.
UTV!

The interesting bit is that previously Lambert and Culverhouse have been a double act - you don't get one without the other; not sure how close Karsa is with the other two.
If Lambert has genuinely agreed the suspension, then something very, very heavy has happened to convince Lambert to back it.

Perhaps in relation to the Delph, Gabby debacles, some serious deception has taken place to undermine Lamber's loyalty to his mates; otherwise, why has he not walked out on a "constructive dismissal" charge?

Let's hope - as MLF said earlier - this signals a positive 'bounce' on Saturday.

A ignominious end to a shambles of a few weeks.

Shambles of 4 years more like. Next manager and coaching team..... please don't go for a punt or some hairbrain idea.

[Ron Manager]

I believe that Shay will be a big success in this role. Ive met him twice . He seemed quite intelligent and a good talker.

Pete Colley has said that it's the club's decision and Lambert is fully on board with it. Which sounds to me like the situation is so obvious that Lambert and Lerner/Faulkner probably didn't argue much about it.

What worries me is that this isn't a footballing decision. Obviously it's had some impact on the players, but the tactics have still been utter balls for most of the season, and the way we play is half-baked and unimaginative. That issue remains unaddressed.
