Lambert's replacement

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It's now only a matter of time before he's replaced. Let's hear your thoughts on who you'd like to see brought in.

Don't bother with comments about "he'll never be replaced with Lerner in charge" etc, there are plenty of places to say that. What we need to be thinking is, who is the right person, those available ot currently working with other clubs. As Newcastle are (also) in the hunt for a new manager, it will be interesting to see who they get and who we eventually bring in.

Break the bank for Rafa Benitez.

No idea, but Eddie Howe or even Steve Mclaren would do now.

[Toronto Villa]

I just hope you're right. I'll worry about the guessing game when I see the ink dry that he's actually gone. Because right now a traffic cone would be more useful.

[The Man With A Stick]

With Lerner's past record, I dread to think.  He'll probably go for some dinosaur arsehole like Harry Bassett, Sgt Wilko or Lennie Lawrence.  Hopefully Fox has some input as I wouldn't trust Lerner to pick his own nose.

Zdenek Zeman is available.

[Matt Collins]

The thing is, isn't eddie Howe just exactly what Paul Lambert was four years ago?


How that bucaneering Young manager has been cowed into the guy of today is sad to see

We'd also ideally give a manager a transfer window which means moving quickly but I can't see it moving that quickly

Four years ago, Lambert was teamed up with Culverhouse and Karsa. (See "The Culverhouse Theory" thread!).

I can see the appeal in having a proper Villa man in charge, but don't feel that is sufficient qualification.

Yeah we don't know, but he might be brilliant.

No more young, promising but inexperienced at premiership level managers please

[claret and blue blood]

We need to batter Tom Fox with empassioned e-mails and try to get him to make Lerner see sense THIS WEEK and sack him to give us a fighting chance of staying up.Fox must have some good advisors re a replacement
Laudrup?

[ciggiesnbeer]

No more British/Irish managers please.

Klinsman backed with new American owner.
