Lambert has signed 17 players in three transfer windows, how many of these would sit in the "success" column? I reckon you would be hard pressed to name six successful signing. Think that might have something to do with the fact Vlla are "f**king sh*te" |

His comments the other day about the Cup were suicidal. But it would be mad to sack him. They are only in the bottom half on goal difference and in a much better place than last year.

Paul Lambert urges Aston Villa fans to cancel protestFriday, January 16, 2015
 By Ian Parkes
Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has urged frustrated fans to call off a planned protest at the start of tomorrow’s clash at home to Liverpool. Three unofficial fans’ websites — Villa Blog, My Old Man Said and A Villa Fan — have called on fellow supporters to boycott the opening eight minutes of the Premier League clash with the Reds via an open letter entitled ‘We Want Our Villa Back’. They claim each minute represents one year for the eight owner Randy Lerner has been in charge as they are fed up at the way the club is being run and the direction it is going. It is an unsavoury and unsettling build up for Lambert. “I understand the frustration, and nobody is more frustrated than myself,” said Lambert. “Everybody involved with Aston Villa is frustrated at what has happened over the last five or six years. “But I don’t think you can look at the chairman and say it’s one guy’s fault. It’s unfair. “I understand the fans’ frustrations, but we’ll have a better chance of winning a game of football if they don’t protest, if they stick with the lads, no matter how hard it gets at times.” Lambert insists he can weather the storm of abuse from the fans. Asked as to how he felt about calls for him to be sacked, he replied: “It’s not great. I’m human, like everybody else, but I’m also big enough and strong enough mentally to handle it.” For his part, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been handed a boost after midfielder Adam Lallana returned to training ahead of schedule ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

Paul Lambert has his head in the sand if he thinks Aston Villa fans expect too much Paul Lambert has suggested Aston Villa fans expect too much Football fans, all of us, have at times a tendency to be knee-jerk, irrational and short-termist creatures. We all have a passion for our clubs, but too often we lack the patience to see beyond the next fixture, or understand the day-to-day crises affecting a dressing room. However, we are a voice to be reckoned with, and our mood swings a factor to be considered by clubs – even if we’re not quite as influential with chairmen and owners as we like to think. Paul Lambert, whose stock with Aston Villa fans could barely be lower right now, hammered a nail in his own coffin this week when he dared question supporters’ demands. ‘The expectancy levels outweigh the realism,’ he said, reflecting on the ‘Lambert out’ chants that broke out during the 1-0 defeat to Leicester. In one sense, he’s right. Those who believe we’re only a change of manager away from returning to the top six are overestimating Randy Lerner’s ability to attract a successor of sufficient quality willing to work under the demotivated owner’s austerity drive. But don’t kid yourself, Paul. Whatever pressures you’re under, whatever constraints your working to, it isn’t too much to expect more than two goals from the last seven games – and more than 11 from the first 21 league matches. The apathy which started in the boardroom long since crept on to the pitch. Villa are now universally regarded as the most tedious club in the Premier League. We should expect more than that, Paul. Paul Lambert has his head in the sand if he thinks Aston Villa fans expect too much Christian Benteke’s strike against Manchester United was Aston Villa’s last Premier League goal I have every sympathy with many of Lambert’s complaints. He’s had to fight fires throughout his tenure and produce top-flight football on a shoestring budget, while watching the likes of Leicester spend £9m-plus on a striker. Every time he’s encountered an issue on the pitch, he’s solved it. But in doing so, he’s often created a different problem. Since we stopped conceding goals, we now can’t score at the other end. Where once we used to see very little of the ball but occasionally pinched victories on the break, we now dominate possession but can’t hurt teams. For many, Lambert is a problem in himself, solved only by a swiftly-delivered P45. And thanks to a string of performances lacking any personality, verve and imagination, he’s lost many of those who had stayed patient during the darkest of times, who understood the limitations of the budget and playing squad. Lambert’s ‘better the devil you know’ warning just won’t wash right now. For managers, football is strictly a results business. Entertainment won’t necessarily keep their team in the league (Ian Holloway’s Blackpool and Roberto Martinez’s Wigan discovered that) nor them in their job. But supporters who spend a large chunk of their pay packet to watch dreary football every week can’t be told they expect too much. If anything, our expectations of this Villa side could not be lower. In actual fact, Paul, it’s the reality that’s not living up to expectations. |

Newcastle is isolated? It's bang in the city center and you can get a direct train to the Stadium from anywhere in the country or you can fly there for which is probably cheaper. Sunderland is the exact same but you have to change off at Newcastle. Any of the midlands clubs is horrible, I'd put Stoke down there aswell

We once got arrested in Stowmarket after we had watched Sunderland play at Ipswich many years ago. We were sleeping in the car and at about 3.00 am and were woken up by a PO shining a torch into the car window. There were two of us asleep in the front of the car and were not drivers and my mate in the back who was the driver was also asleep. He was charged with being drunk in charge of a car. The case never went to court and was thrown out once we got a decent solicitor on the case when we got back to Sunderland. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

As long as it keeps him well away from the Scotland job  Lambert had everything set up nicely for himself at Norwich several years ago too. The fans loved him, he had built a half decent team and they were getting respectable results most weeks. But he had to get greedy and threw it all away to join the Villa soap opera. He's forty nine and already managed quite a few clubs: 2005/06 - Livingston 2006/08 -Wycombe 2008/09 - Colchester 2009/12 - Norwich 2012/15 - Aston Villa 2015/16 - Blackburn 2016/17 - Wolves 2018 - Stoke 2018 – Ipswich

He's near fcuked before he even starts. As an Ex-Norwich manager, more than half of the Ipswich fans hate him already, a couple of losses or even draws will persuade the rest of them to hate him too. Very hard to see them staying out of bottom 3 no matter who the manager is. Mick will be vilified by whatever shenanigans take place between this & end of season, his sacking, Hurst's appointment & Lambert's appointment all the result of a deluded fanbase convinced of a status they aren't capable of achieving with the budget Marcus Evans provides. Unless Lambert is capable of something none of us have seen since his Wycombe & Norwich days (not today nor yesterday)they are a cast iron certainty, or as close as they can be to one, to be an L1 team next season. ------------- Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue..... |

A bit harsh on Hurst there. The man did an incredible job at Grimsby and Shrewsbury, thought he got his big opportunity at Ipswich when, in reality, he had a League One budget to keep up a team with fans thinking of a challenge. I would expect him to be back in the Championship before Ipswich are. They are absolute certainties to go down now. I also expect Lambert to be sacked before Easter. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

But I reckon ME will stick with Lambert, at least until he sees how next season is going (and we're nearer 2021!), since the fans are still solidly behind him. If nothing else, it would save on another compo package when ITFC are having to cope with the financial pains of relegation.
