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.

On paper the squad should be comfortably mid table. Are we worse than Stoke. No. Are we worse than Newcastle. No. The one factor is Lambert. He should have gone in the summer. The bucks stops with him. I dont know one Villa fan who wants him to stay

I know one, he's called lambdrew08.

Stoke and Newcastle points you make aren't really possible to argue against. Also what paulie said about how we look shit against shit teams. Does my noggin in people saying 'well it was Arsenal'. That is all Lambert. No one else.

The only thing that worries me is that Alan Curbishley might be his replacement.

[peter w]

He sounds like a combination of Saunders/Ferguson and pep bloody Guardiola compared to Lambert

I dread to think who they'll magic up. Dave Basset would be my hunch.

Wonder if things would have been different if we hadn't had a hissy fit about Steve MacLaren?

Can we please, please mail this myth now.

I was about to step in but knew you'd see it.

There will be all sorts of rumours floating around.

My email.  I still have hope and aspirations that we'll go on a 10 match unbeaten run and end up at Wembley in may!

Tom,

To introduce myself, father of 3 boys 10,8,6 who live in Leyland, Lancashire, myself an exiled brummie who has subjected my clan to the joys of Aston Villa.
Most weekends we travel 200+ miles to watch our team usually 5+ hours in the car, missing footy training, gym classes and being with our family and friends.
It, for the most part has been worth it, my boys are injected with claret and blue, bedrooms, clothes they wear, FIFA teams on xbox are all Villa related, in the
Hope and expectation that the future is bright.

Now said boys, 10, 8 & 6 would rather not go, I have paid for the season, so if they don’t, another friend will, but for goodness sake, whether it’s through change
Of manager, a coach that can teach the basics of football, please do something!  I will never not support AV, but I may not come again from May for a long time.

Regards

Martin

Could not be more succinct and relevant than that.

The future of our support is being threatened by this relentless inertia.  I have been through much worse as a Villa fan, but the alienation of feeling of impotence has never lasted as long.   

I am getting my nephew a "Grizzlies" membership at Edgbaston this season  - it costs £25. I didn't really need to, because every time I turn up for a match with him in tow, they give him a complimentary ticket, realising that that these kids are the future of the club. Players recovering from injury walking back from the indoor cricket facility often stop to have a chat and sign autographs. This includes players such as Bell, Trott and Woakes.   

He is another one does not jump at the chance of a visit to VP any more. In his defence, he has graduated from preferring to go against the glamour teams to going against teams where he might witness an actual match. 

I don't even demand a winning team any more, just some hope and excitement and a modicum of direction.

[villadelph]

Are we getting a Director of Football or an Assistant Manager? For the love of gOD just move Paul upstairs if you like him so much and bring in a manager.

The impact this is having on future generations of fans is a concern to me as well.

yes that was the tenor of my email to him as well. Very hard to enthuse a 10 year old when he sits through two 0-0 draws over Christmas with, i think, three shots on target over 180 minutes plus of football. As an "entertainment business" it's lacking a certain something.... oh yes the "entertainment" part. The beef baps in the Holte suite were ok thou.

By move him upstairs do you mean as Director of the Attic? That's the only role I'd give this clown, he shouldn't have any contact with footballers. Paul Lambert the footballing black hole since 2012.

[thejoker]

I'd be more likely to expect Mike Bassett with Randy conducting the search

[joe_c]

If Lambert was sacked I wouldn't want Cowans anywhere near the first team. As much as I love him he looks lost in sitting on that bench.

Definitely. Trouble is there is a widespread assumption that a former legend will make it all better. If we had a point for every suggestion that we should give Paul McGrath a coaching job of some description we'd be Champions before Christmas.
