Paul Lambert (R)

You can't fault the effort in covering his arse. I thought it was excellent.

[nigel]

Not only would they not let him resign, they also forced him to sign a new four-year contract. Whatever Paul.

Very true, or did they promise him money to spend if he signed, then renaged on their side?
It's happened to Remi,  so why not before.

Ah, Mr Lambert. The man who thought Jordan Bowery was a premiership squad player. Enough said.

Speaking of him, I was watching the football league goals at the weekend and thought I saw a glimpse of him playing in back League Two.

Is this the same Mr Lambert who did not want to talk about Aston Villa ?

[andyh]

I thought he had his say a couple of weeks ago.
He obviously felt the need to 'go again'.

He had 2 years experience of it though. So it would not have come as a shock.

He is trying to appear hard done too, when in reality he lost that right when he chose to sign the new contract.

The board are clearly awful, but so was Lambert by the end - he became scared of attacking.

[Boz]

It's getting a bit embarrassing isn't it? He was undoubtedly working under a certain degree of duress, financially, but that had nothing to do with his complete lack of tactical nous or coaching ability, or his inability to keep a structured back-room staff in place.

Spot On

Playing every available striker against Bradford at home should tell you all you need to know about Lambert's ability.

what colour is the sky in your world Paul?

If I'd had any involvement with Villa, apart from being a fan, over the last five years I'd be keeping my head down and my fuckin' mouth shut.

This.

One of the very very few positive things I can say about MON is he kept his trap shut for years after leaving us.

The sky is green and the grass is several shades of blue.

He was probably legally obliged to.

Exactly.

Basically, anyone who has had that sort of involvement with us since 2010 should be in witness protection by now.

It's very simple. If you have taken on a management job on very good money and the owner of the business/board fails to back you therefore stopping you from executing your duty properly the correct thing to do is to resign. The absolutely incorrect thing to do is to keep doing your job badly and then moan about it once you are  kicked out.
