Hull City v Aston Villa Post-Shambles Thread

[mr underhill]

fuck me is there even the slimmest of chances that he's on his way to BH?

[Walmley_Villa]

I doubt Lerner has ever heard of him!

[kippaxvilla2]

Bear in mind Swansea under Laudrup were accused of passing their way to death without end product, are we absolutely sure he is the man at this time for this situation?

[David_Nab]

Laudrup left Swansea as thier results where close to as bad as ours they had been found out.

In anycase he has gone to the middle east for one last big pay day he isnt coming back to Europe to manage unless it a huge club and huge money which frankly his record doesnt deserve.

[passitsideways]

Let's hope he's showing up at BH as a player, not as the new manager.

He'd probably have more impact than Joe Cole.

[passitsideways]

He'll probably have to do it on his own with some solo goal stuff though, given none of our players understand the concept of running onto a throughball.

[Proposition Joe]

I don’t really understand the players. Are they so in thrall of a manager’s instructions that they refuse to go “bollocks to this I’m ignoring him”?

Nope. Our problems are compounded by the complete and utter lack of football brains in the side. In terms of footballing intelligence we have Cole and maybe Gil (too early to tell). Why else was it Cole and not Gabby that almost got to the Benteke knockdown? Because he had the nouse.

Gabby looks like he has enough trouble remembering how to breathe, let alone anticipate where the ball will go.

If we had a great manager, he'd tell the dumb players to do this that and the other, they'd do it and it would reap results. Unfortunately we have a manager who tells dumb players to do dumb things.

[RussellC]

Who'd be the interim manager?  There's no experienced assistant, either.  Cluster fuck.

I am now convinced that this is by design. Lambert knows that with a decent Assistant he could get the push and the Assistant step in. He really has built a bunker Hitler would be proud of.

This is definitely a problem and really, if the club had no intention of sacking him before the transfer window, they should have forced his hand over employing an assistant manager. Can you imagine an airline allowing a pilot to keep flying a plane without a captain alongside him?! Especially if the pilot had a history of near misses...

Laudrup's record at Swansea isn't all that great in win % terms:

PL: 84
W:  29
D:  24
L:   31
Win %: 34.5%

His previous spells at Spartak Moscow and Mallorca weren't that great either.

[jollyjake]

LERNER must go and take Lambert with him.
looking forward to the championship,ie second division

As Scottish actor John Laurie in Dad's Army was want to say: "We're doomed!"

If his name is not Paul Lambert, then he's the man.

Careful, there are other men called things such as 'Steve Kean' and 'Stuart Pearce' who I wouldn't exactly be preparing the red carpet for.

[Boz]

I thought when the OPR owner said he had his dream manager, he was going to poach Lambert from B6 and pay Randy loads of compensation
