Anyone done the deckchairs Titanic rearrange analogy yet?

If the DoF has input into HOW we play the game and who plays it, appointing Lambert to such a role would be a disaster based on his performance with us so far.
I just want him gone.

My thinking was DOF=Glorified Scout just to get him out of the way?

Appointing DOF is a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Is that ok?

If we stay up (big if) then I think this is a pretty good move in the medium to long term.  It'll finally put a football man on the board and should hopefully provide a bit of continuity when we change managers.

Most of us on the forums have mentioned the words Director of Football and Gerald Houllier in the same sentence. For obvious reasons that will never happen.

He's also being paid several dumper-trucks of money by Red Bull to oversee all of their various clubs and academies around the world.

Red Bull takeover it is in the Summer, then! Better tell TBAR - if it still exists.

One thing's for certain - they LOVE Paul Lambert. Unless he goes, he's here for as long as he wants. Let that sink in.

It's almost as if they're not bothered about the primary purpose of a football club.

E-mailed him last week no reply.I was polite and offered my observations on Lambert.The people in charge of our club remind me of our directors at work who were shocked to find the results of a confidential survey showed them to be out of touch with the workforce and had no respect from us.
We just want to feel they have some connection with the fans and sort out the dire product we are having to swalllow.What on earth can we do to get that across to them?

Lunatics. Asylum.

Spot on. The Recluses running AVFC think it needs a new organogram. Fanbase insist decent boss + goal oriented staff more crucial. Just like the day job?!

[LTA]

This Fox is an absolute joke.  He knows nothing about the game.  We need to be making sure we're safe from plummeting out of the division, not sitting around waiting for the summer.

At least we've completed the set.  Incompetent owner, incompetent manager and incompetent chief executive.

I'm going to protest demonstrate against Foxy and the Villa by boycotting the AGM. That will teach 'em.

Go to the AVISA's AGM in February and ask him face to face if he's aware that the support has no faith in the manager, no matter what structure he's part of because he cannot do his primary job properly.

We will have this superdooper infrastructure. Can't wait. Pity they'll be plying their trade in the championship. Wake up Fox!!!!

I hope that never happens.  Houllier was terrible in the transfer market.
