Lambert gone

[remy]

He must have blagged and bought himself time with the Chavski and Arse defeats dependant on the Hull game. The 2nd goal went in and he was a dead man walking. Im going to Villa Park on Sunday with a smile on my face which I havent had for ages. Enthusiasm for the upcoming match rather than a sinking feeling.

Stop with this sympathy bollucks. He has brought the club to its knees.

Don't think Sherwood's the answer - 6 months total managerial 'experience' with an expensively assembled squad didn't show whether he's got what it takes. And that salute to Adebayor was just embarrassing. Wouldn't want Hoddle either - my youngest son is disabled and Hoddle's beliefs make my piss boil. Klinsmann on the other hand.........I'd wet my dry stock!

[Malandro]

Sherwood has 6 months big job experience, I don't understand why he has the right to be linked to any premier league jobs

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

 Him going is for sure the first really excellent news this year!   . There is still a massive step to be made to keep our status!, Please Villa don't cock it up!

The beers are on me.

Anyone is available at the right price, Lerner surely realises what he will potentially lose and Fox needs to reinforce that when they look for a successor.  And that's what it needs to be, a successor, NOT a replacement.

[Boz]

Beeb reckons shortest odds on Tim Sherwood and Klinnsman,  I'd take Jurgen in a flash

This

We should've gone all out for him 5 years ago, he was the right choice then and he's certainly in the top 2 or 3 now, has the attitude, profile and tactics needed to get us back on track.  See also Cesare Prandelli.

I'd love to get someone like that in, I really don't want to end up with one of the usual journeymen or someone like Sherwood. Look at the Koeman appointment, a stroke of genius.  And the law of averages says the board have to get it right eventually...

I echo this. Get it right this time, nobody who's been a failure at another club.

Can't see Klinnsman coming though, but someone with charisma would be great

Forget about Klinsmann on Randy budget levels. Glenn Hoddle as DOF with Tim Sherwood as coach - the rumour starts here.

Merson talking crap on SSN. Apparently Lambertis a good manager who has been unlucky.
Yes Paul unlucky for 3 seasons.

Pat Murphy

He's a tough Glaswegian, he can look after himself. And he'll get over this one. In certain areas I don't think he did a bad job, but that's a heretical observation for many Aston Villa fans."

 

[Deano's Mullet]

Pat Murphy was praising us? Why?

No idea but Pat, you read this. I still think you are a twat who dislikes our club.

In the BFR and Little eras he was always full of good stuff to say about us on radio. He was only echoing what we were all saying about lambert

What a relief


My tortoise shell is now off



Over the moon , it was our only chance of staying up.

Nice guy. The brain a size of a pea though. Thick as a brick, even by Lambert standards

[SoccerHQ]

It's a sign of how low our stock has fallen & how desperate we have become that names like Sherwood, Laudrup are considered acceptable. No doubt it was the right thing for the club & Lambert himself.

But we seem to go from one fuck up to the next.

Tom Fox this is your chance to put this right, the bar is set very low.

Why on earth is someone like Laudrup "unacceptable" He won a trophy at Swansea and got them finishing 8th ffs.

If these are unacceptable then what do you make of us finishing 6th three times in a row and our shortlist comprised of Houllier, Curbishley, McClaren and whatever out of work managers were doing the rounds at the time.

It's a tricky one, at this stage it's crying out for a Pulis type quick fix but that would mean little long term planning and we'd possibly be in the same stage 2 years down the line.

A Sherwood or Laudrup would be a bit more with a long term outlook.
