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.what do you suggest we do Dave,serious question.

Same for me.

Assuming that's meant for me, you can do whatever you want. Just don't expect me to agree with it.

They've made a bit of a pig's ear of this protest. They haven't made it clear what they are protesting against, or what they want the results of their protests to be. Which to me, kind of defeats the point of protesting.
It's one of the reasons why the £ sign was successful, no one was in any doubt what it was about.

So, the 8 minute thing doesn't do it for me.
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.
I understand, absolutely.
But, imho, Lerner is too distant (and perhaps not particularly interested) at the moment. A really effective protest to the owner needs to be organised to create maximum effect.

Lambert (& Fox?), and what he is doing with a team/squad that I think we all know should be doing so much better with decent organisation, are what we have a much more direct link to. 
Lambert is there. Fox is there (representing his boss, Lerner). The players are there. We are there.
I will support my team throughout the game because I want to encourage us to win. I'll let my dissatisfaction with the manager be known after the game.

I haven't done it yet - last Saturday I was shocked into silence by how poor we were - but I will tomorrow.

Well I'm going tomorrow and I will watch for 90 minutes.  If anyone wants to do this protest then good luck to them, but ID rather do protest after the game.  I don't like the managers tactics, but I'll support them for the whole game.

No doubt if we score in the first 8 minutes then people will start scurrying back in.  It'll probably be the first time a football crowd has chanted "we can see you sneaking in".

Yeah, bit worried it's all going to be a bit of a mess. But if there's no objective, suppose you can't defeat the object...

Is this a protest for just the Holte end or can the other stands take part ?
