PieFacE Posted February 12, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2015 To be honest, I find the constant saying of "Villa are a huge club" a bit annoying. It all feels very Liverpool to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 He wasn't useless (that's me) but most managers would have been made to look like they were at this club the last five years. With the foundations he's left behind the new guy will be standing on the shoulders of a giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It's a shame, because I genuinely believe that he'll be successful elsewhere but at the same time that he never would've turned it around here. He's still only young - I wonder if he he'll be back some day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Will get the Celtic gig when they sack that Delia clown end of the season. Deila has done pretty well after what I have heard from Celtic supporters, theres no chance he is going to get sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Class statement. Even listening to the journos talk about him on talksport yesterday, they all said that off camera he always always talked about Villa in glowing terms. Was very aware of our history; of Ron Saunders etc, was genuinely honoured to be managing the club and that he was much more personable and generous with his words and his time when the TV cameras weren't rolling. I still think he wasn't the main problem and that his hands were very much tied. His statement and it's mention of his 'mission brief' from Lerner would only seem to confirm that. I don't expect the next man in to have any easier a time of it either. For me Lambert can leave very much with his head held high in spite of the records that he has left us with. Again, extenuating circumstances for me. I fully expect he will walk into another job when he chooses to and that we'll see him back in the Premier League, hopefully for his sake under more comfortable circumstances. Having said all of that, it was still right that we parted ways. Sometimes things just don't work out. It goes without saying that I wish him all the best for the future. He should not leave his head held high. Financial restrictions is no excuse for having us be the lowest scorers in all the 4 big leagues, its actually so embarrassing it hurts me.

maqroll Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Good guy, untenable situation, and its good that hes moving on. I think he has a very passive demeanor, which can work for some clubs in lower divisions with lower expectations, but not with Aston Villa and the crucible of the Premier League. In an age of knee jerk overreaction, Lerner showed admirable patience with Lambert, but this move was overdue. Good luck, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deila has done pretty well after what I have heard from Celtic supporters, theres no chance he is going to get sacked. Failing to get into the CL at two attempts and labouring to another league title. Seems strange. Go to the Celtic forums and try to find out what they think about Deila now, you'll be amazed. They absolutely love him there. I'll give you a teaser, this is from a recent post from their forum "Is there anyone left who doesnt love him yet? If so, what the hell is wrong with you?

Zatman Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Lambert reign can be described easily as Good, Bad and the Ugly Good. good signings some great performances against top teams Sunderland 6-1 Bad. never building on them good performances against top teams lack of goals early cup exits to lower league teams Ugly Chelsea 8-0 Bradford all them records he broke nothing personal and wish him luck for the future but we move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 He should not leave his head held high. Financial restrictions is no excuse for having us be the lowest scorers in all the 4 big leagues, its actually so embarrassing it hurts me. I agree to be honest. He's a nice man, he had a hard job but as a manager your job is to get the best out of the player you have. If that's get 14th in the league or 1st in the league then that's your job. IMO Lambert never got the best out of the squad of players he had. There were some flashes but mostly it was an underperforming side with Lambert in charge.

Had some very brief good periods (usually around late November/early December and obviously the end of the 12/13 season) but also some shocking bad ones like Christmas/New Year 2012/2013, end of last season, most of this season. I barely remember any times when we were just middling about without much to shout about either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The away performance at Liverpool. How good was Benteke and Weimann that day. Even Bannan. The 3-0 home loss at home for Wigan for me is worse than the lower league defeats and the 8-0 maulings. Never been so despondent after a game in my life.

It became that bad that i no longer remember the good times, i dnont even remember the feeling of us scoring a goal, thats how bad it became.

weedman Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I supported Lambert until the Hull game, and I still think that he's a good manager who could be a success in the future, but it wasn't working for him here. Through a combination of a lot of things - budget, bad luck, poor tactics etc we hit a major block this season and he didn't have a clue how to address it. Maybe it would have been different if we had an assistant manager to advise, sometimes you get so obsessed with making something work that you cant see whats right in front of you, that's where he needed a bit of help but there was no one there. This move was best for everyone, it'll serve us better as a club and should allow him to go somewhere else and get his career back on track using what he learned here to help him Good luck to him, and I'm sure we'll see him in the Prem again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
