Lambert gone

[Tuscans]

As soon as they went we have breaking managerial news on Sky and went to the Man.Utd v Burnley game for 2mins I knew straight away it wasn't anything to do with Leicester or QPR.....

Happy for the first time in ages! Should've happened before Christmas. Hope we can save our PL status.

[Tom_Mc9?]

What a shame it didn't work out.

[taylorsworkrate]

Get the fuck in!

This is where we're supposed to show a degree of magnanimity and wish him all the best for the future I suppose.

But balls to that, good riddance!

To be honest, If I was Lambert, apart from whatever payoff he'll receive, I'd be seriously worried about my future. With all the negative records he's broken here, he'll find it incredibly difficult to persuade any decent size club to give him a chance.

As for us, it really had to happen. Undeniably should have happened far far sooner, but at least it's given us a chance of staying up now. I'm firmly of the belief that literally anyone would be better at this stage.

Who are these tossers texting in to Radio 5? Apparently since 1981 we've been constantly midtable with a few relegation battles thrown in and thus do not deserve to be in the top flight. From someone who was allegedly there in '81. Bluenose on a windup presumably.

Good work.

Don't forget Lambert  was the front man for the ineptitude going on behind the scenes in the boardroom. Just because he is gone does not mean we are out of the woods yet.

No of course but an immediate change was needed.

Let's be honest his reign was wretched from start to finish. His first home game and being 0-3 down at half time to Everton set the tone for all sorts of ineptitude and awful records to be broken.

It just couldn't go on so at least we have a chance now.

[Malandro]

I hope that is the most bizarre managerial reign I witness at villa park.
Ridiculous, I'll never understand what happened to his philosophy.

[ozzjim]

Fuck me, it feels like winning a match. I have just danced about my living room like a drunk uncle at a bad family do.

Get in.

Now appoint someone strong please Fox

[ruberyvillan]

Paul Lambert statement: "I've been excellent. I'll pick myself up and go again."

[silhillvilla]

Don't worry about lambert he will walk with £5-6m lump sum and won't need to work again. Bet his estranged wife will want a good whack of that though.

Nice enough bloke. Fully out of his depth .

Aston Villa Football Club has parted company this evening with manager Paul Lambert.

First-team coach Scott Marshall and goalkeeping coach Andy Marshall will continue to prepare the squad for Sunday's FA Cup tie with Leicester City at Villa Park.

The club would also like to place on record its thanks to Paul and take this opportunity to wish him every success in the future.

The club will announce a new manager in due course.

There will be no further comment from the club at this stage.

Lambert will definitely start next season at a large Championship club that wants to get promoted and feel they deserve it e.g. Leeds, Blackburn, Wolves.
