Thinking about it over the past couple of weeks, I believe that letting Lambert just coast along for too long did the real damage to the club. I think it's probably where the poor attitudes and serious malaise really set in and it can't be shifted. He really is one of the last people I want to hear talking about Villa.
It actually makes me think that the whole "bullygate" affair, the Keane offering players out etc was really the start of player power rising. It only needed a weak, still thinking he is one of them, manager for it to have grown even moreHindsight is a wonderful thing but I bet the whole bullying affair was raised by certain players to get rid of some fitness and coaching regimes they did not likeBoy this club is rotten and as Black subtly put it - "On the verge of Anarchy"
