The ironic thing is if we sacked Lambert we'd probably stay up on account of the new manager bounce from the first 4-5 games. If we picked up say 8 points from that it would set us up nicely for the season run in and to breath a bit easier.

If teams like Palace and West Brom who have been even worse than us this season can win their first games with new managers (and both will probably go on decent runs I reckon now), surely we could aswell and that could be the springboard needed to have a comfortable run in?

Of course it's common sense and logical so the board will ignore it and continue to pretend everything is hunky dory.

René Girard, the Lille coach was top of my list last year and nothing much has changed, he's still the experienced, honest, straight talking, league winning, over achiever whose sides play entertaining football, that wants to manage in the Premier League. He's also used to operating on a small budget.

Whether he'd be prepared to move mid-season is another matter but it's a crying shame we didn't bring him in last summer.

I still think that road cone someone mentioned a few weeks ago could do a job.

Martin Laursen - would instill fight and passion. Lambert deserves dogs abuse next week, us fans simply have to force him out, end of.

What's his football like, SOVD? Have to say I haven't watched much Ligue 1 since it became a procession for PSG.

Nigel Adkins and Paolo Di Canio are in the top 5 betting for next Villa manager.

God help us!

Lille are on a bad run.   They battled to a win against Evian last week but they look a bit fragile to me.   But nowhere near as bad as we are.   He could commute on Eurostar.
