I love others despairing for once. Do you have a link?the oatcake but blimey, they seem to start a lot of threads. You might have to dig down a bit deep to find things from as far back as yesterday. The POSITIVE THREAD has gone from the front page already.

If you exclude Black, for reasons too well known to be regurgitated, from the list of post SGT managers, Lambert is the worst. Every other one had a scrap of mitigation - MON's league positions, McLeish being a decent man, Sherwood's cup semi final, Garde's shabby treatment by the board, RDM probably getting the bullet too early, Bruce for scrambling Bruce-like. But Lambert has absolutely nothing to commend him. Dour, incoherent, charmless, unimaginative, prone at all times to re write reality but most of all becoming the poster boy for reduced expectations.I lived through Bingo Billy, Graham Turner, Dr Venglos, DOL and KMac but I regard Paul Lambert as the worst Villa manager in my time.
Presumably Coates was passed a list of available managers and plumped for the only one he'd heard of. There's no other explanation.

They are unimpressed.You should tell them to hold onto that ‘coz it will be replaced by frustration, disbelief and ultimately despair.

Watching the goals from last night - was that Ireland on the field doing his usual old tricks - he was the closest to one of the scorers but instead of making a challenge just stood there watching.
