Marshall was dead as soon as he revealed he was going to call Lambert before the Leicester game and still refers to him as "the boss"

You can't really blame him as he knew Lambert is his long term security. 

Oh I don't blame him, but it helped seal his fate at the club.

Didn't he say that he hadn't been into (the Boss) Lambert's office since he'd left as well?

[GordonCowansisthegreatest]

No! He got a draw in the first half.

Not sure he can claim anything further;-)

[Ron Manager]

Normally I would recoil at ex players getting work back at a club where they made their name. Especially at Villa where it has hardly ever worked, apart from Vic Crowe that is. But I don't mind Ugo coming back he appears to have forged a decent reputation at Tottenham. Has an air of authority and speaks well, so I believe.

Agreed. It was foolish to let this be known even if felt he needed PL's advice. He was pretty much giving up on any role with Mr Sherwood. There can only be one 'boss'.

[Hookeysmith]

I feel for the bloke, if his future recruitment is based on lamberts next role - it could be a long wait

A twatter rumour said he was here, that Marshall was leaving and that new coaches about to be appointed.

Eric Houghton?  Brian Little?  John Gregory?  (and Ron Atkinson at a push?)

A few more than Vic Crowe I think. He Who Walks On Water did pretty well. Gregory's spell wasn't too bad either, and don't forget that the last time we won the Cup, Eric Houghton was manager.

Edit - sorry TopDeck, see you beat me to it.

[Ron Manager]

Oops! I should have given that a bit more thought. Eric Houghton may have been a Villa great as a player but if you take out the Cup win he was not a success as a manager.

TAKE OUT THE CUP WIN??? It makes any Villa manager a success. A demi-god. He had an achievement to his name by which "success" is measured, namely that he actually won something!

Expressed incorrectly. I should have said he was not a success in the league as a manager. Would you agree with that?

[Brian Taylor]

I recommend Kevin Nugent of Leyton Orient. Thoroughly nice bloke and likes pint pf real ale. Wonderful Irish parents and relatives whom I met once. I think they thought I played for the O's at some stage. Seriously he  is a dedicated football man and is the back bone of the backroom there. It'd be hard to dislodge him but..
