So it appears the media have been given the wink to say that Lambert stays ‘until the club is sold”.
Well what else did you expect ?
Notice the form of the words, ‘until the club is sold’ … that is very short term isn’t it, not even an indication he will be here for pre season.
Did you really think that Lerner would spend his money on sacking him ?
Did you really expect Lambert to walk with no compensation ?
This situation is in many ways comparable to 2006 but no chance that Lerner is stupid enough to sack Lambert now. This does not mean that the club will not be sold, in fact quite the opposite. At no point the club are saying any deal is a way off, so just chill and relax. If by the middle of June we are not taken over then agreed,
PANIC
I have to mention here the forum names as TBAR. If you know of them they are just being total fools. In the form incarnation I posted ITK but always made clear it was and never to presume it would happen. Over on that forum they are saying it is all gospel and dragged a lot of sensible people into their web.
If you want a laugh go on there now ….
Fools.

just been reading newcastle fans posts much more sensible, lmao no this was about villa ‘s claims of keeping the bomb squad players, like bent a reported pardrew target, they say a bullet well dodged and another was who wants a 65k bench warmer. seems like we are a joke for most rival fans, final insult they might start collection for us
That’s because he played for Sunderland exactly our reaction if he had come from the scum
The club really is in dire straits right now. First the ban on contracts and now the bomb squad being brought back into the first team after publicly stating their futures where not with the club. I have to agree with Nursery though we are lucky to have some sort of stability in the form of Lambert right now. Anyone else coming in right now would be a nightmare. Luckily it is a World Cup year so our dirty laundry can be hung to dry in private, but still I do fear for next season because clearly Lambert has nothing spend this summer.
Yep but dosnt stop the pr machine spouting out bs that lescott is coming. They treat us like muppets ffs
If there is a ban on contracts why has gardener signed a two year deal ? Don’t believe everything you read on here or twitter.
Just read that he will probably be cheap but another overhyped youth player. This youth bollox is a myth
Sure Vaze posted somewhere on here that Allbrighton wanted £35k a week and if there is any truth to that then adios amigo was the right decision.
It was fair enough to ask for a rise when he was on £15k.
Was supposedly offered a new contract, but he wanted 35k, which he’s simply not worth in all fairness.
I keep telling myself surely we must be sold this summer, otherwise Lerner would be making more funds available. There must be something, surely…
Not necessarily Lerner will feel that we have just enough to stay up and if we are struggling may sign a player in jan.
He’s waiting for the sky money next season then he’ll fuck off now that’s cutting your losses.
Agree he won’t fuck off for at least a year we are stuck with these clowns for ages
You never know mate Sid cowans maybe asked to put his boots back on we do seem to be dragging them out the woodwork now.
No two ways about it now, Lerner is taking the piss out of the Villa fans, capped wages ,capped contracts, is this the way the Browns went? I see eruption at the first few games if the result goes against the Villa.
That’s if anyone is stupid enough to turn up!
No he’s not if it was your money and you were selling the club what would you do ? We don’t actually know what he’s going to do with regard any of it .We can only speculate. Have you spoke to him?
Gardner signed a new 2 year contract. Find it interesting it wasn’t just a one year to see how he does without an injury plagued season.
yes Andrew, 2 year contract with his previous injuries seems weird…..But don’t forget Faulkner would have done the negotiating so nothing surprises me !
I’m okay with it though, which I know doesn’t matter much. Was hoping he’d sign it. Now for Donacien and Robinson to sign theirs and we’d be good on contracts for a summer for current players.
Lamberk in the press again this statement means we will definitely start with these 2. “Even if we were to get off to a flyer to the new season, I don’t think it would change Randy Lerner’s mind about selling. The chairman has been great and honest but I don’t think it’ll change his mind.
I agree we’ll probably start with these 2.
So depressing Andrew
Ps also means there is no sale IMO if we start of well nothing will be said if we struggle as expected the club will say we are up for sale and going our best. They’ve got us over a barrel with this and you have to say its genius
Really… That’s what you got from that? He clearly meant he expects Lerner to sell. He said so himself. You’re reading something and claiming the exact opposite…
Also if you actually continued reading he said something along the lines of “The new owners will get to see me with their own eyes”… Meaning that he does in fact believe it could happen and obviously within the season, possibly before January as his contract ends then.
What about his bs I have protected the club bollox
He protected the club by not telling anyone else about Lerner wanting to sell. However you could tell he knew by his comments. His constant “You don’t know what I’m going through, what I have to deal with”, the usual “We need more money, I can do so much better” bollox. Clear pleas to a new owner.
protecting the club what bollox. he was just keeping a secret from his boss like hes paid to do. how the fuck is that stressful ffs
Uncertainty about his job. Knew he had no choice but to keep them up. Etc etc.
How ironic would it be to slip Bent and Hutton back in, Benteke and Okare get back and all the pieces fit into place…and we had the players all along….It won’t though LOL!
Here’s my take. Had a buyer in place, fell through after the awful finish following Chelsea. Other parties interested, but reluctant to get into this mess, so Lerner and Lambert have to shore up the squad with a better experienced squad before a sale goes through.
But here’s the irony of that notion. Lambert’s tactics get masked by players with talent. And he stays on through another year with a new owner.
tbf i think every managers tactics etc are masked by quality players. Lets be honest would mourinho have done much better with that hand? possibly but not a great deal better, likewise Lambert would prob have still achieved top 4 with the Chelsea players
Very true. Everyone looks like a genius replacing Superstar A with Superstar B. And the pundits clamor on… brilliant move!
I would like to speak about TBAR
I posted a statement that I believed that their 2 celebrity ITK’s did not really know anything, that they were in the dark as much as anyone and that I was of the view that the club was somewhat stringing us all along.
I don’t believe that that what I wrote was libellous, nor was it an attack on anyone’s character, defamation of name or attempt to misrepresent the truth but my post was deleted! Why? I am of the view that the so-called ITK’s are merely using that forum as homage to themselves, pulling the wool over everyone’s eye, using smoke and mirrors to create a facade and they know EXACTLY what they are doing.
We the villa faithful want hope in the midst of despair, darkness, an appalling manager, a less than clever Chief Exec and an owner who no longer cares anything about our club. So these so called ITK’s have played on our vulnerabilities, exploited our passion for the club, plucked on our heart strings knowing how we feel about Aston Villa and are stringing us along with these
Lambert has resigned
We believe the club is already sold
It is an American Billionaire
This or that manager will be coming in
These players will be at the club
We will challenge for top 6
Etc
And make no mistake certain sections of the media are playing piped piper for the club’s spin machine
VOR,
Welcome to the site.
Your post wasn’t deleted as such, at least not on purpose.
We have had to set a system in place where you have to have your first comment cleared, before you can post freely, because of a particularly malicious poster who posted in various guises specifically just to say how much he hated the site.
He was basically ruining any debate and added nothing.
Like the saying goes, “there’s always one”.
It seems your post got missed and accidently deleted. For which we apologise.
Anyway, you will now be able to post freely.
Also, we basically think TBAR talk rubbish too.
But we totally respect their right to say it 🙂
Not that we’re really into slating other sites. We take the view that all Villa sites are on the same side, even though we might have different ways of looking at things.
To clarify, my post that was deleted was not on this site but on TBAR. This site has always been a place for true Villa fans
Thanks vor welcome to the site. Your views on here are always welcome whether me or badger agree or disagree. We only ban people if they act maliciously eg racist etc. You might find you will be better of posting on latest thread as this one is a few days old. Cheers
Ah, no wonder I couldn’t find your post, VOR 🙂
No worries. At least you won’t go into moderation now.
We look forward to hearing your views mate 🙂
