Best news for years. I can't even wish him a fond farewell

Just delighted he's gone. He's sucked the life out the club along with Lerner and i'm fucking ECSTATIC to see the back of him

94 league cupo final DVDs gone on, its party night in my house right now! Amazing how much enthusiasm can come back after a bit of good news for a change.

.

However, to see his face after Hull scored their second, was to see the face of a completely broken man who had absolutely no idea how to get himself and the team out of the situation.
Which is why he went.

I'm glad he's gone but feel some sympathy for him. He had good ideas initially but lacked the personality or the talent to really implement them fully. I fear that it may be too late to avoid the drop though.

Could argue it's a year or so too late, although realistically, maybe 3 weeks too late.
We are in a really bad position now and there is IMO a good chance we won't recover from here. I think after a few lucky-to-stay-up years, this was one too many.

Sorry it didn't work out with Lambert.  Let's face it, the best for all parties would have been a long period of stability with Lambert improving on each season, but the opposite happened.  Hope he finds his way again.

Which got me thinking - is it confirmation bias or do Villa seem to be the graveyard of up and coming managers?  How many Villa managers go on to better things after Villa?  Thinking Turner (was up and coming), Little (last seen sacked by Gainsborough), Gregory, Lambert ... all were on an upward trajectory till they came here.

Clock is ticking now.  He will be gone by the end of the week.

Don't hold your breath. Lerner and Fox will absolutely give him his Cup quarterfinal.

So you're convinced we'll beat Leicester then?

As called by your Super Soaraway Kippax earlier today :-)

If we can find a stand in until the end of the season I'd go and get De Boer. He's hit a glass ceiling over here.
Sir Graham to ride over the hill on his white horse to help out short term anyone?
