Lambert gone

[Hairbandinho]

Stuart Pearce is available......

:-(

[Ron Manager]

Well I think that Randy has panicked realising that he cannot sell the club and quite possibly will miss out on all that lovely money next season.

But it appears Tom Fox is the main man at the moment He was on the commercial side at the Arsenal so what he knows about hiring the right sort of person to keep us in the top flight I couldn't begin to guess.

Klinnsman would be a popular choice with his American connections. Randy may throw a shed load of dollars at him to see if he could be tempted.

 More interesting is what will Roy Keane say now his mate has gone? Some of the players must be shaking in their shoes. Keane tends to tell it like it is. We could be in for an interesting few days.

Gareth Southgate - come on a lot recently and he knows the club being a former captain (I'm excluding from my memory how he left)

[Monty]

I never wanted him, he was better than I thought after the first year, then worse than I could have possibly imagined for the remainder of his tenure.

Every now and again, one of us on here will mention how MON was so good at one thing - motivation - that it almost (but not quite) made up for his failings elsewhere. And he must have been incredible at motivation, because blimey was he bad at signings, tactics and squad rotation.

Lambert was similar. He is actually remarkably good at one thing - signings - and absolutely awful at practically everything else. He has one tactic, namely the counterattack, and when that doesn't work he has nothing else. Instead of motivating and keeping himself up during these times, he visibly (and understandably) wearied from his normal dreary self to apparently suicidal. Everything went wrong.

In the end, he seems to be a good scout who doesn't actually know how to get teams to play good football. The poor bastard presided over some of the most humiliating debacles in our recent history, and the extent to which he could blame his circumstances is mitigated by the fact that he's actually good at signing players on a budget. It'll be good for him to take a break. As for us, this might have come too late to save us, but it needed to come nonetheless.

Pat Murphy. What an incredible twat.

I think with the DOF intention, this is a really good opportunity to find a combination to get it right.

I don't like Sherwood as a bloke at all, but I think he has something as a coach/ manager from what I have seen of him, and at least has some fight in him.

Getting a good technical manager is a gamble with so little time to get it right to stay up.

Thank fuck!  I've been watching H&V/Twitter/Sky/BBC all day - I pop out for 15 minutes and he's gone!

Haha ditto I went for a run.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

Whoever, we need to be incredibly careful about this next appointment.
I mentioned Laudrup earlier but only because I am aware of him being available and did some good things at Swansea. He also did lots of shit stuff, so probably not.
I wouldn't touch Sherwood with yours.


I have no idea who!

UTV!

[Tuscans]

Full house at Leicester and Stoke, the crowd going wild making the loudest noise would be lush.

[brian green]

One thing you can absolutely bank on.   We will blow Leicester away.   The atmosphere will be like a rebirth after years of MON, Houllier, TSM and TSM2.   Have not looked forward to a Villa game so much for years.

[Salsa Party Animal]

I think Tom Fox will be looking for next Arsene Wenger for a manager.  I reckon he will ring Arsene for his recommendation.

Haha ditto I went for a run.

I've had the runs for about 2 and a half seasons!

I had done my run earlier luckily. Lovely mild evening for it down here, caught that bit of the evening when dusk falls and all the birds are singing. They must have known!

I think you are being far too generous
