On the plus side it's the moral champions of 1981 who are stuck with him, which is nice.

They can teach him how to mumble songs about the pub bombings, the daft twats.

No car.  Just a tractor.

We, of course, learned Lambert's failings the hard way. I was really enthusiastic about him at the time. I can forgive those outside of Villa who believe the media line about him having no chance with us because of his budget (it fits the narrative) but leaving all that aside, what in the name of Christ is anybody thinking who looks at his record since he left Norwich and says, "he's our guy"?...

Maybe they think that the East Anglian air will help him return to the form he showed at Norwich and Colchester.

And a reconciliation with the former Mrs Lambert ;)

I can only assume he got the job because Bruce put the phone down on them. You'd think the "premiership club in trouble" gig will go to the likes of Moyes and Fat sam in December, so he must be hoping for the "wheels coming off promotion bandwagon" vacancies post christmas

I was saying this to my lad yesterday. It's Fulham for me, that guy will get canned and replaced by Moyes, Bruce etc. The owners won't be able to help themselves.

yeah although on recent employment and success i think they'd go for Moyes or Fatsam as the "survival specialists". I think bruce will turn up at one of the clubs above us currently with a bit of money between christmas and the summer. Stoke or WBA if they don't go up. Possibly Leeds if it all goes tits up with Bielsa

Big Sam still has a swanky apartment in Canary Wharf from his West Ham days and spends quite a lot of time down there doing media work so Fulham would probably suit him down to the ground. You would also guess Fulham would be happy to splash the cash in the January window, which other strugglers like Newcastle, Huddersfield and Cardiff won't be willing or able to match.

Celtic v Rangers - 1998 now showing on Sky Sports Football.  Lambert actually scored a cracker from the edge of the box.

That just it though. Lambert was a bloody good player and was coached by some very decent managers. Bruce was very good, managed by arguably the very best of all time. Both utter gash as managers.

My money is on Adkins getting the heave ho from Hull leaving room (and there’ll need to be plenty) for Bruce to rejoin his former club in time for their return match with us at VP. By then let’s hope Smith has us firing and we can make Bruce suffer.
