Without wasting my time on him and going down the Wikepedia route to check, by my reckoning he has had six managerial jobs and done well in one of them.

In fact, if he had half a brain, if he wants a job he would keep his gob shut about Villa and Blackburn and how tough it was for the poor underpaid soul that he is and start bigging himself up about what he did at Norwich.

From what I remember he did okay at Wycombe and Colchester as well as very well with Norwich.

I think you sum it up. He undoubtedly did well at Norwich. At Wycombe and Colchester he did....Okay.

To be fair he did exceptionally well at Naarwich.

Fair, balanced comment as ever from yourself olaftab. But what position were we in when he took over and what position did he leave us in and what were our finishing positions in between? Did you agree or disagree with his sacking at the time? I don't think that just because of what has happened since he deserves credit for not relegating us.

I agreed with his sacking simply because I thought had no coaching principles/strong managerial credentials left and had become a poodle a yes man quite content to achieve nothing more than 17th and find all the excuses under the sun to hide behind.

He took us to 17th with Benteke and Delph.  That says it all for me.

This guy is alongside Lerner in culpability for where we are at the moment.  Mistake, after mistake after mistake and he has the gall to make out he was hard done by.  Bufoon!

"Your big, your strong, get up the pitch and you will cause havoc because of your size". Only a man who took his coaching badges in Germany can come up with revolutionary stuff like that.

Glad those trips to Europe were worthwhile, Paul. Where are you working these days by the way? Oh, that's right...

At it's peak, with Lerner and Lambert at the helm. I dread to think what was happening behind the scenes at this club.

How it could get so comically bad is almost criminal.

Peak Bad Villa was Lerner/Black, Lambert played one of the biggest parts in getting us there.

The fucking clown was on that fantasy football show with Merse last week, spouting the usual almost incoherent meaningless drivel. How the fuck did he ever get a performance out of a footballer?

He sounded such a twat I felt a bit embarrassed for him.

And Merse obviously didn't rate him as Villa manager, coming dangerously close to breaking the 'never criticise a fellow pro' code when the other bloke asked him what he thought of the job Lamberk did at Villa.

You could tell he was embarrassed and all he could really say was 'you shouldn't have kept saying the players were excellent'.
