Fox says sacking Lambert would be like flicking a coin??

Tom must have had a lovely afternoon going back to Arsenal

Given the absolute garbage he was spouting to the press last week, which he expects us to lap up, I couldn't give a shit whether he had a nice time today or not.

[Diablo]

Flick the fucking thing.

Flip Flops!

[VillaAlways]

The bloke is clearly a Yes man. Useless

I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need

With every passing league result, Fox is making it blindingly obvious why Arsenal didn't bust a gut to keep him.

But who do we get in as a replacement?

I think that is part of the problem, there is no obvious successor with prem league experience

Isn't Laudrup available?

Currently managing Lekhwiya in Qatar.

And to Rudy, what does Premier League experience have to do with anything? Are we not allowed to hire a manager without it?

As ever, the snide comments continue. Here is another of those who knocked people for daring to criticise Lambert and Lerner.

Goodness knows what you're wittering on about. Maybe you've got posters confused as you're fairly new on here.

Assuming that you are fairly new on here and haven't been registered before, obviously.

'Allowed'? Of course we are. Im just not sure there any many candidates.

You could say Eddie Howe but he may swopping leagues with us next season.

A foreign coach is a risk. Pepe Mel anyone.

There isn't any managerial appointment we could make who isn't a risk. Laudrup would be a risk. A manager with Premier League experience would be a risk.

Our last five managers have all had Premier League experience and have done jobs ranging from dreadful to average. So they were all clearly risks as well.

It's a false narrative, you numpties.   We know what's best.

You are paying far to much attention to minor things like results, style of play and attempts to even score a fucking goal. Whereas we look at, er... special data that you couldn't possibly comprehend.

For instance, did you know that we are in the top 7 in the EPL when it comes to coming out of the tunnel on time? That's a helluva effort.

It is paying attention to small details like that that has us fully on course to recapturize the Peace Cup in three to five years.

On penalties after a 0-0 draw I'm guessing.

I genuinely have no idea who we could get in and they could end up doing worse. More than one non-Villa fan has said to me recently that on this basis Lambert may as well stay.
BUT (and it's a big but hence the capitals) lack of an alternative is not a good enough reason to keep employing as staggeringly an incompetent buffoon as this manager. Fox's comments looked arrogant, condescending and naive when there was an element of feelgood around in the last week. Now add negligent and moronic.

Had Sky News on in the background when I heard "news of a high profile sacking tonight"

..my heart leapt, then they said it was Stuart Pearce. Back to despair.

You'll wake up tomorrow with the news of Lambert being sacked and replaced by Pearce. Back to despair.

We had an ex work colleague come back to say hello once. I didn't notice he had left. I presumed he had popped out for some photo copier toner. I wonder if Foxy got the same reaction today.

[Malandro]

Would it be too outrageous to guess 'false narrative' originated from the mouth of our slightly odd chairman?

I've seen a few snippets from him, right up his boulevard.
