Managing the club was like being on death row says Paul Lambert

[kippaxvilla2]

"I knew the first two years would be tough but we've made progress and now we're beginning to see the benefits of all of that hard work," added Lambert.

"We're in a much healthier position on and off the pitch.

"The bar had to be raised, everyone has stepped up and there will be continued improvement."

Said Paul Lambert after signing a new four year contract.

[gervilla]

He left the job with very little or maybe even no credibility left after serving up that turgid football and breaking so many unwanted records. Now he is just making himself look stupid as well as clueless.

[aj2k77]

I think our anti-football and goal record becoming a national joke will put pay to Lambert getting another job anytime soon, good, boring fucker.

I feel sorry for Lambert, that nasty Tim Sherwood getting all the money to spend!

Bags O'Money Sherwood: Currently a net spend of just over £5m

Poor no money Lambert's net spend each season: £23m, £16m and £9m.

So using those figures, by my calculations, Lambert is a twat.

[ChicagoLion]

So finally the useless twat has reaquainted himself with his razor, put his food stained cardigan in the wash, wiped the sick off his shirt and is doing the media rounds trying to get back into the game.

You had the best chance and the biggest job you were ever going to get. You fucked it up.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Now go back to the pub and place your self in the losers corner and stay there.

I think the endless "we were excellent" and "we go again" rolled out quotes grated so much with every supporter that I can't disagree.

The freezing out of Hutton then rediscoving him was one of his strangest moves. Like him or not he was certainly a lot more committed than some of Lamberts choices. Weird. I think there's obviously  a lot of shenanigans that went on we'll never find out.

[Meanwood Villa]

So many dispiriting, horrible, soul crushing times under that manager, more than I can remember under any other.

[mr underhill]

yet he retained the goodwill of the media throughout. Very strange.

[andyh]

All of the points about his total inability to manage the club are correct.
But who gave the fucker a new 4 year contract?

Who is the madderst?

[eamonn]

I begged Randy to sack me but he just kept paying me more money.

One day, spending training playing headers and volleys on the far field with the other bomb squad people and 12 year olds. Next day, on the bench as assistant manager.

I'm just so glad we got rid when we did or we'd be gearing up for someone like Rotherham on Saturday in front of less than 25k at Villa Park.

Bearing in mind he was given a new contract he didn't deserve and a lot longer in the job than he should have been, he should be thanking Randy rather than coming out with the guff that he is.

And expecting to lose.
