Unless he is going to be sacked so what is the point of spending more money today.

There's more chance of me signing for Villa than there is of Lambert getting the sack.

Is this an ITK, Paulie? Are you being lined up as the inspirational number 10, perchance?

What time is your Press Conference?

[Malandro]

Total outlay last summer plus this window is less than £9m.

I wouldn't have a problem with the expenditure (he is selling the club aferall) if we had a decent manager in charge.

[kippaxvilla2]

I would assume, and it is a big assumption is because they are no longer saving Jack's £20k a week wages, hence no more room for signings.

That's a good point.

I hope there is some truth in man utd trying to recall cleverly

[curiousorange]

The one remaining hope I have is that the player budget has been kept back as the manager compensation budget so when we do get that 'last straw' result, it's spent on a pay off. I'd be fine with that.

However, that would be living in fantasy. The accurate and depressingly prosaic reason we're not spending money on the squad is that Lerner doesn't want to.

You will soon be seen stretching the shirt at BH.

Will the stretching bit be essential for a comfy fit?

Total outlay last summer plus this window is less than £9m.

So that makes an average spend of (off the top of my head) one million quidish per signing?  Where on earth does Lerner expect us to be on that kind of budget?  It really does have the same rotten smell as the one that Doug brought to the club in the Graham Turner years.  It's madness.

If we were getting anything like the best out of what we have I wouldn't be too bothered about not signing anyone else as I think we have a reasonable squad.

As Lambert is obviously going nowhere i'd prefer us to sign some coaches who know what the feck they are doing.

Totally agree.

[Villa in Denmark]

I'd prefer to put Lambert on a coach Italian Job style.

Well he should be used to it, he's spent the best part of 2 years here teetering on the brink.
