Carry on like this and Bob Geldof will be getting the band back together.

You know you're in dire straits when fans start calling for ex players to take over.

Damn straight.

Precisely.  I don't get this clamour all the time for Sid, Sid, Sid, Sid.  Sid was a legend in our history as a player no doubt about it and one of the finest midfielders of his generation.  He has done a reasonable job in the Academy especially when lead by Kevin Mc.  But, he isn't proven in management, he stepped into a senior role during another crisis last season and nothing has changed.  So I just don't get it. The club needs a completely fresh start - a SGT esque fresh start.

Whether you liked Keane or not he was Lambert's appointment. Just like Culverhouse and Karsa before him.

Lambert must be giving Lerner blowies to be this incompetent at running the football side of a club and still have a job. It's all fucking pathetic now.

Lerner's gone to stay with the Shagmanites and they can't get a mobile network out there.

Someone needs to put is out of our misery. I'm genuinely starting to think it might be best to take the inevitable relegation and rebuild the club, ethos, culture, identity (playing style wise) again. It's just no fun at all being a villa fan and it hasn't been for years now

I'm just really bored of it

I didn't rate him as a player, I don't rate him as a manager, and I don't rate him as a person. He's a fucking wanker and he can stick his beard up his arse. The only reason I had any dealings with him is that somehow he was the assistant manager of my club! He can stick it up his bollocks.

I can understand you not rating him as a manager and person, but a player? He was simply outstanding.

Yes. He was.

I never like him but to deny the fact he wasn't an excellent players is daft.

I wasn't bothered when he got the job and I am not bothered now he has gone. In fact 'not that bothered' sums up my feelings about the whole thing at the moment. When the sum of our ambition, despite their claims otherwise, appears to be not get relegated how can anyone work up any enthusiasm?

Agreed.

I am totally nonplussed about this. It is all just background noise as the aimless drifting goes on.

Nothing can change until the chairman or manager go, so it really isn't worth getting wound up about.

Although it does make me laugh hearing people clamour for former players.

I'd imagine there'll be a campaign to appoint @StanPetrov19 along in a minute...

Three minths time he'd be citing the pressure of the Villa and playing Sunday league as his reason for leaving the Villa.

Lambert only knew this morning it would appear. No doubt he will ask Cowans and Given to step up again at short notice. No doubt they will say yes again.

God only knows who he will come up with next.

Agree totally. I read about him going earlier with almost no reaction or emotion at all, just a shrug of the shoulders and a what's for breakfast
