Lambert's replacement

[peter w]

I'll fuckimng do it. i know football. i can organise a team. I couldn't do any worse than this shitbag chancer.

I want noted Villa fan Cesare Prandelli. That's my benchmark. The gap between his tactical thinking and Lambert's 'Hodor Hodor Hodor' approach is quite big.

He's available right now, in fact he could probably start tomorrow. The question is, is he worth paying an extra £1m a season more than we currently pay Lambert?

Yes. Yes it is.

God, I can't believe we actually pay Lambert for this. It's like tipping your own mugger.

He was only on £2m a year as Coach of the Italian side but got paid more, probably danger money, when he went to Gala but he does want to manage in England. I know that he'd been working on his English last year, so no problems there. It could be the smarted investment Lerner ever made if he were to bring him in.

Look at it this way, given the choice, you can either sign Tom Cleverly or pay off Lambert and have Cesare Prandelli as your new manager. The wages we'd pay Cleverly would cover Cesare Prandelli's salary. The choice is yours?

You know, when you look at it like that, if Tom Fox and Randy Lerner haven't at least put in a clandestine phone call to Signore Prandelli's representatives it would be the worst decision of their respective tenures. Including hiring McLeish. Well, maybe not.

He's comfortably the best choice and you'd hope that he'd see it as a chance to bring 'his' club back where they belong and it's a great chance to fix his reputation after a rough time with gala.

He is a very good manager. It would be a very good move.

Was going to say. Make it happen.

Ach, who are we kidding. Prandelli turning up at B6? Put it this way: if Lerner's already aware of him, then he's not coming because either a) he's been approached and has rejected us, or b) Lerner honestly thinks Lambert is better; if Lerner isn't aware of him, then he's so inept, so clueless, so deeply asleep at the wheel as the truck lurches off the road, then there's absolutely no chance he'll do anything as rational as firing a shit manager and hiring a good one.

Sacking Lambert and getting Prandelli would be the equivalent of when Manchester City got bought by Sheikh Mansour. Not impossible, but one of those 'nah, that'll never happen to us' kind of things.

We'll have somebody absolutely underwhelming. Not terrible, or unsuitable, or even noteworthy. Just some bloke that used to be a footballer.

Prandelli probably speaks better English than Rab C Lambert as well. I can barely understand the mumbling fool, so Paul McGrath knows how the likes of Gil and Sanchez get on with him.

Could you do it without winding the General up!

I've been posting about wanting Prandelli IN since November. He gets my vote.

Does he have any managerial experience ?

[villabear]

Apologies if been noted before but who actually coaching the team? How longs it being since we sacked Culverhouse and Karsa?  I can't believe any of the dribble he comes out with after the game so how are the players supposed to be motivated by him beforehand?

Can't really blame Tom Fox for McLeish.

I thought you meant PRANDELLIN.  I was thinking it was some sort of happy pills I could try and get from the doctors by explaining I was a distressed Villa fan.
