Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Shambles Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

Just take anyone with decent credentials who is willing to come in till the end of the season, we'd have a better chance straight away, because it is blatantly obvious where this is going if we don't make a change.

I don't see how Randy will keep him now.   I expect him gone next 24 hours.

Afraid I think you'll be disappointed. Why should this latest shambles be any different to the numerous others that have gone before during the reign of this clown. Lerner/Fox are in denial and appear to believe it will all come good in the end when every indication is that will not happen.

Keep Lambert - we probably go down

Sack Lambert - we probably stay up.

So simple even Lerner should understand it.

All of this player unrest and lack of commitment started with Lambert being given his new contract.   It totally demoralized them.   Over the years I have seen some screw ups at Villa Park but the new four year contract for Lambert was the biggest by a country mile.   Utterly inexcusable and moreover capable of being made even more of a disaster by keeping him in the Championship.   It is the stuff of nightmares.

Maybe being in the bottom three will finally energise Fox that we're going to be relegated from all the megabucks if they don't kick Lambert out now. Well I can dream

I genuinely think they will. I thought for a while Hull might be Lerners breaking point. We will see but I think Lambert will no longer be Villa manager this time next week.

Have you changed sides?

He should have gone after Bradford; he should have gone after Sheffield; he should have gone after Millwall; he should have gone after Leyton Orient; he should have gone after setting the record for the worst home form in our entire history; he should have gone after scoring a mere 11 goals in 22 games; he should at the very latest have gone after failing to score against Sunderland, Palace & Leicester over Christmas/New Year; he should have gone when replacements would have had time to do something to arrest the slide. He didn't go then and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't go now. Lerner will see him as the man to get us back up (having seen the scintillating performances against Blackpool and Bournemouth reserves).

All this on the eve of the new TV deal. It's beyond embarrassing. It's humiliating.  Some people (rightly) complained about the prospect of Friday night games in the prem as part of the new deal. The reality now is Huddersfield on a Friday night. Well done Lambert. And well done Lerner for delivering on your promise of getting the club to where it rightly belongs. Both of you just get the fuck out of our club

[Jimbo]

I'd sooner have Harry Redknapp in until the end of the season than this pea-brained fool.

I have a finger-bowl full of Domestos by my keyboard for times like these.

I've a horrible feeling, Lambert will survive to the next game, scrape a lucky win against Leicester, and then we get more of the same shit against Stoke.

Keep Lambert - we probably go down

Sack Lambert - we probably stay up.

Sadly, Lerner just gave him a four year contract.

Truly, the man is an absolute idiot. He honestly is. I know that sounds like personal abuse or like I'm being unfair, but he absolutely is an idiot. He's totally fucked up large sport organisations on both sides of the Atlantic now.

Staggering.

Still, at least we've got the good news about the new chief commercial officer.

Untenable surely...walk or sacked makes no odds. I'm convinced that this squad of players is no-where near relegation material, but they way they are set up to play is just awful...
LDLDDLLLLL goals scored 2. What other club would put up with that...anyone, just anyone will do just to lift the players...

[FranzBiberkopf]

We've gone. No point rushing in a Sherwood or a Curbishley or some other no hoper and giving them a 2-3 year contract in desperation. They won't save us.

Take our medicine. It's due.

Get the RIGHT man in, in the summer.

[barrysleftfoot]

 Its the lack of pattern, the lack of style, the lack of understanding of the game.Gabby sums up Villa under PL.Doesn't know when to run, where to run, where he should be, or how to create anything.

 That knock down from CB summed up Gabby, no idea where he should have been, no urgency, no idea...shite.

[MarkM]

Should have sacked the twat years ago

We are doomed!

I get the manager out talk, I don't want him here but lets lament some blame at the players feet. Too many of them don't even look like footballers

Yes. After Arsenal actually. Today just reinforced that. I was wrong thinking he had it in him. Lambert cannot turn it around. Its over and he needs to go.
