Now, it may just be me and indeed I have been accused of being a dreamer or maybe more realistically, a total idiot, but I’ve noticed a massive amount of online support for Lambert occurring lately.
You won’t see it on here, as we have no-one fighting Lambert’s corner.
If there was someone, we’d go out of our way to put the argument up, as that’s what we’re about.
But there isn’t.
So now go and have a look around at other Villa sites.
Not that we want you to, but we know you do anyway.
And you’ll see that there seems very strong support for Lambert from certain quarters.
Support that seems out of proportion. Support that keeps spinning the same line of “who will we get in?”
I don’t really want to name sites, but look at one and see how Fear gets pretty much blasted in reply to one of his articles.
There’s another one, on an American based site.
The replies are all pretty much the same, in that while they slate Lambert, they pretty much consistently say that we should stick with him.
Any polls they run though, say they are totally wrong, with votes being 2-1 in favour of getting rid of Lambert.
I don’t know. I might be totally wrong and I do love a conspiracy theory, but it seems to me there’s a concerted effort going on to try and save Lambert’s neck.
Have a look around and tell me what you think.
Any one sticking up for lambert must hate villa his the worst manager in our history
Only a child or a madman beleives in absolutes villa 1996. I beleive there is no better alternative to lambert right now and it’s not impossible for the team to improve in a west ham like way.
Also worst manager in 140 years you say? I can only assume you are familiar with every manager villa has ever had and the failures and successes of each one to make such a bold statement if you wanted to be taken at face value.
Or is it safe to say this is just a bit of a rant coming from a perfectly understandable frustration as a villa fan of recent times
Yes, Josef Venglos sets the bar fairly low when assessing Villa’s worst Manager.
I accept that bringing in players is always a gamble, they may nor produce for you what they did for their previous clubs. Torres being the most spectacular flop at Chelsea compared with his stellar form for the Scousers. In the case of Richardson though I cannot see what Lambert was thinking, Richardson is just as bad as he has been for some years. I fear that we are expecting a miracle or a piece of coaching genius, neither of which is likely, if we buy Sinclair. The fact that Citeh still owe us money seems to be the motivation.
Lambert though is not the best I could expect. He happened on the Clark Okore pairing as the last two standing, if either Vlaar or Senderos were fit they would have been in. Likewise his failure to drop Agbonlahor when Benteke returned occupying the same space shows he can’t learn from the evidence in front of him. If his team talks are anything like his interviews, the overseas players must wait till he has left the room and ask Hutton to translate to English.
The performances on the field are as boring as Lambert is. The excitement comes from hoping the defence can keep a clean sheet to garner some points, not from anything at the other end. Much more of this and relegation will start to look attractive.
