The more egotists putting their pennyworth in the better for me, if we can gain more and more publicity looking at what's going on and challenging the bullshitting and corporate nonsense talk it will hopefully come to a head sooner.

I think we should focus on the message and the actions that we can take rather than the messengers. The narrative around HH and JF has been rehearsed endless times on here.

Exactly, and if more Villa fans take whatever action they can - be it letters or emails or whatever - then that could be a step in the right direction. It's the only hope we have. I couldn't give a shit about other people's egos, none of it affects my relationship with the club. I'm more interested in the absolute mess the club is in right now, and it seems most Villa fans feel the same way. If somebody gets their ego stroked through all this, so be it. I want the club to wake up, and there's more chance of that happening if the fans are united.

Excellent post Jimbo, with which I completely agree

I'm not convinced that all the fan base wants Lambert out. The season ticket holders I know and speak to are to a man/women absolutely pissed off with the teams performance but not all of them blame Lambert. Every player Arsenal put on the pitch on Sunday I would imagine cost them at least £10 million,if they purchased them, we're paying £2-4 million a player or playing loans or home grown. Albion have out spent us!!

lambert is doing ok in my opinion with what he's got. I'm not saying we won't get relegated, and may well do, but it won't be all his fault if we do.

so wrong in so many ways

How can you defend the indefensible ?

I'm sorry but you're wrong.  His players are good enough, but he isn't.  He is tactically incapable and his man management is shocking.  He won't admit he's lost the plot and he's taking us down.  Everyone can see it except him.  And you by the look of it.

Oh, and I accept that Arsenal will be better than us - they have much better players, but we gave in at 2-0, and that is simply unacceptable.

I find this view incredible to reconcile in my head. If you look at our net spend under Lambert, we are not in the bottom of that league. He has international players to pick in every position on the field, a couple that were stars at the world cup, a 20-30 million pound centre forward and plenty of options around him. The quality of those after 6 or 7 windows at the club is solely down to him, he has spent upwards of 45 million. Not top 6-8 money, but not bottom 4-5, and the inexplicable way some players have been dealt with will never make sense. His tactics have been rigid in games, while he seems to have found a system that works for a couple of games then change it to get favourites back in regardless. There is then the bizarre lack of urgency to appoint an assistant to replace Culverhouse and Karsa, (the Keane experiment aside) and it seems that he has a genuine issue with being questioned by people on his managerial team. An easy way to improve us overnight would be to get a tactically astute assistant that is good in training situations, but that seems lost on us, but it is in Lambert's sphere of control. 3 left backs have been bought, 2 right backs then reverting to the one that was completely ostracised in the first place.

And then we have not even started on the negative results records, the lack of goals, the worst goal difference in the league, the runs of games without winning or the general quality of play.

Right
(if that's how we're doing it!)

The fact that you've got half of the manager's name as your user name indicates that you may be somewhat swayed to back the buffoon regardless

(cont'd) The fact that he has never once admitted to err or taken blame on ANY of our previous performance issues. He blindly regurgitates the idea that we were excellent and the effort was there. Oh, and that we were well in it for X amount of minutes. At this point any manager that truly believes "hard work" is going to turn this around is deluded. Hard work taking the same week in week out approach every match just doesn't make any sense. Keep doing what your doing even if said actions are proven to be ineffective? It's ludicrous.

Even Paul has to be genuinely shocked at how long he has been protected.
