Are Ted and Dougal in charge of the protest now?

Looks like all this talk of  a protest has served it's purpose as the club are acutely aware of it and so are the media which wasn't the case prior to Leicester.
We all want the best result on and off the pitch I think this week will result in the team reacting, let's hope it's positive.

I can only presume that they're directing their angst towards Lerner in the hope that he'll either plough more money in or sack Lambert. I think......

Which is pretty much how I read it.


But...MY protest is the inept way in which Lambert has deployed the players available to him.
So, the 8 minute thing doesn't do it for me.

Ooh!!

Can we have a poll?

"What did/do you think the protest is about?"

I agree.

I watched the press conference. It was portrayed to Lambert by the questioner as a protest for 8 minutes one for each year of Lerners ownership. Lambert didnt need to address anything about himself or the teams recent results as it was not raised as part of the protest.

Spoilered my reaction to avoid offending folks who are genuinely taking this protest seriously.

Spoiler for Hiden:

I did find it entertaining, imagining the organizers screaming at the TV "noo, nooooo! THATS not what we are protesting about! Its Himmm! noo, not that one, THAT ONE! Hiiiiimmm!

I think it's pretty basic stuff to have a general idea what it is we're pissed off with before we start.
My understanding from talking to Villa fans at games is that Lambert's management of the team is the most obvious/urgent concern and needs to be aired. Where and when appropriate - in the stadium, immediately after the game.
The Lerner thing is much more complex and needs a different, more considered approach, imho.

I think giving Lambert the 4 year deal links the anger towards Lerner for not giving a f*** about our Villa, and the ineptitude of Lambert.
It's a very bleak outlook, so I can understand why people are not happy and are prepared to protest.

totally agree it's Lambert's basic management 'skills' that need addressing,another example is Grealish playing for the under 21's tonight (losing 2-0 to Stoke) .He obviously isn't featuring tomorrow ,and Robinson who is also playing tonight.Lambert is regressing our squad !

It's a very tenuous link - You gave the manager a new contract, therefore you don't care.
