[TonyD]

Lamb Chop.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Come on, Brian! Keep up.

Woke up to the news this morning all I can say is "Excellent really Excellent"

[FrankyH]

The BBC (woman who does the sports round-up) have just said we will have to pay Lambert £10 million, that cant be right surely.

He was probably  advised by MON.

I doubt that very much.
These people pick a random number and do a load of mathematical equations just to make it sound more interesting.
Someone posted on another thread that in reality it's probably £2m

[martin o`who??]

This is now a totally shit-or-bust situation, either we see a marked improvement and get out of trouble, or, we go down, forget Fergies "squeaky bum time" coz he needs a point for the Premiership title - this is proper pressure now.

One years pay he got. Being in the bottom 3 may well have triggered an escape clause in the clubs favour.

[cdbearsfan]

If he got sacked six months into a four-year-deal, and only got a year's payoff, his agent/LMA rep is fucking useless.

You seem surprised that something Lambert is involved with isn't well thought out.

Randy has obviously had a little chat with Doug.

[brian green]

I wonder what sort of car he left in.   Probably a Lambogoni.

Maybe this is why he looked close to tears when we went two-nil down at Hull?

Really good couple of articles in the Telegraph, particularly this one:-

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/11407403/Aston-Villas-Paul-Lambert-sacked-to-protect-TV-millions.html

even reading that if it's true about January window, I do still have some sympathy for the lone job Lambert has had to do for most of his time here and there were times it looked like it might work, but no-one can escape the fact that this season he has had the best squad he's had since he's been here, and despite a good start results-wise, the football and results are dreadful.  I do think he will regroup at a lower club and come back quite strongly from this.  Hell, in a few years we might be on here saying we should have stuck with him etc., after he has had successs.  But it had gone too far and  was never going to be fixed, at least Lerner has seen that.  I wish him no ills though and am sad it didn't work out.
