Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Shambles Thread

[walsall villain]

This confirms Lambert will not keep us up this time around. I can't see what Lerner is achieving by not sacking him. He clearly should have gone ages back and it may be too late for a new man to do enough to save us but he has just got to go. Each week I feel increasingly angry and embarrassed.
I do not want to hear a load of 'spin' in the morning, I just want to hear he has gone.

[Somniloquism]

This is the worst we've been in the post MON years, by far.

What scares me is we're getting worse. It doesn't make any fucking difference having more of the ball than we used to do if we are going to be utterly static and bereft of ideas up front.

Lambert has got to go, he is the main culprit, but I look at the likes of Gabby and I wonder, he's made a good living out of being a local hero, but he shows zero heart or drive, absolutely nothing.

But apparently has all the characteristics of a leader on the field according to the manager and was rewarded again for doing barely anything for three years previously in September.

I find it inconceivable that any other football club would stick with their manager in a situation like this, absolutely inconceivable.

But the utter, utter c***s running us are so clueless, this bozo is going absolutely nowhere.

We are running out of games and getting worse.

11 days until our next league game.

This is our LAST chance to change something.

Agree, Lambert must go. But where do we go from there? I have no faith whatsoever in the chairman to get someone in asap. For fucks sake, we haven't even employed an assistant manager since Keane left. The manager's time is up, he's had his chance, however our owner has displayed complete negligence for such a long time now that I don't really think there's a way out for us.

AAAAGGGHHHH!! When's it going to end???

[Deano's Mullet]

Can't help thinking cup game this weekend is coming at the wrong time. Say he wins that one its another reprieve a'la Blackpool and bournemouth

[PaulWinch again]

Lambert should be honest with himself and see that this job is beyond him. Lerner needs to see that this job is beyond Lambert.  He is not going to turn things around. He has been on the cusp of turning things around for two seasons.  It's not going to happen.

He needs to realise he's ruining his career as well.

[Nelly]

If we do go down, I can't see us coming back for a long, long time. We need to do something now because if we go down having not done utmost to register our disapproval at this I think we'll regret it. I certainly will.

I think Lerner probably still cares about Villa but he lacks that ruthless edge to do the right thing. He should and could have done the right thing at many points over the last three years but this is the worst of all.

[ROBBO]

If Lambert doesn't resign tonight there should be a mass demonstration on Saturday i have never seen a situation where a club as big as Villa have just given up and thats what we did tonight. Lambert looked shocking before the game frightened in fact he doesn't know what to do, we are seeing very good players being ruined you can see the confidence being drained out of them. Even Gil tonight started brightly but there was no movement around him. When Benteke came on Gabby was taking his space instead of spreading to make space, Lambert has turned us into a joke.

[FranzBiberkopf]

Changing the manager won't make a blind bit of difference here. The malaise is too deep set.

Sack him tomorrow. Out of spite. Justifiable spite. He's had ample chances to turn this round. He's just not up to it.

Give Sid the caretaker role until the end of the season. Clear instructions that there will be a new man in come June.

Fox get on the phone from 8am tomorrow sounding out replacements. Be brave. They won't be needing premiership experience where we're going.

[Ger Regan]

This is the angriest I've ever been when it comes to football (excluding stuff about the likes of hillsborough), I'm even having trouble putting into words everything that annoys me about the club.

[aj2k77]

That was terrible. You can see the frustration of the players in the way they are giving away numerous free kicks and making poor decisions. The only way out of this is with a change of manager. The whole thing needs a shake up and some fresh input. Without that, I can't see us pulling out of this

They also need a firework up the jacksie because the effort and intensity from some of them is a disgrace. There is a culture of acceptance at the club, from being beaten on the pitch, not scoring goals, not challenging for trophies, not challenging anyone in the top 8.

A new man has just got to come in and shake things up, a born winner, someone who hates losing, because these fuckers playing for us just take beating after beating with no response, like poor down trodden little boys.

Don't ask me where we are going to find such a man but we need a winner with a winners mentality and some of these players need a long hard bollocking of the highest order.

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Was Lambo crying after their second goal? The camera stayed on him for quite a while, and he certainly seemed to have more than just a glisten in his eye.

I think he might walk.

Don't tease us like this. Lambert walking would be a dream come true at the moment but the parasite has brown nosed his way in to the affections of useless Lerner and will not go unless booted with a golden handshake.

I'm an eternal optimist, plus I'm sure he was crying. I would cry if I was him, he is completely bereft of any idea about how to sort this out.

Oh well, we'll see.

[Risso]

special praise should be offered to Tom Fox as well though.
he may only have been here 5 mins, but he has managed to bury his head so far up his own arse its fucking magical.
'False narrative?'
'Baying for blood?'

You are just as bad as the other 2 tossers and can fuck right off as well.

It's just a job to him, why would he care?  All that "false narrative" bollocks was just pure US corporate bullshit speak.  He might as well be in charge of a ballbearing factory for all the emotional attachment he'll have for the job.

[PaulWinch again]

AAAAGGGHHHH!! When's it going to end???

Part one of the disintegration of Aston Villa ends in May.

[phantom limb]

Yep that's it, if he doesn't get sacked after that then I don't know what to tell you. We look absolutely shot.
