CBGB Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 OGS was nailed last week. Last night it was Martinez. Tonight it's Lambert time. Of those three, I'd say Lambert is the best fit for us. Probably the least imaginative, but the most likely to do decently well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaHatesMe Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Without wanting to be too much of a killjoy the only source of this rumour he has quit seems to be the The Sun..... The Daily Mail mentions it too. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2152360/Aston-Villa-want-Paul-Lambert-replace-Alex-McLeish.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaGoMarching Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 So when Richard posted, Welcome Paul, did he know anything or was just speculating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steell Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I've had the resignation confirmed from someone who I know well, and he is 100% ITK. I can't even hint who he is but he assures me that PL has walked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Given his contract is supposed to run out today, there is always the scenario that he's not "quit" he's just let his contract run out (although NCFC must be mental if they had a rolling contract that didn't have provision to give notice of non-renewal). Sky now saying Norwich wouldn't let PL talk to Villa because we're "not big enough". At least the journalist doing the papers has just said that we ARE a bigger club.

VillaForever1970 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Not too keen on this ability to jump ship sharpish, he did the same at Colchester. Could bite us on the arse (MON sylee) in the future. We also got McCleish (god knows why) in this way too, not such nice guys it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 https://twitter.com/#!/michaeljbailey Michael Bailey @michaeljbailey No official #ncfc word on PL, but seen the reports – and been told by a good source they are true.

SeanO Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I like Lambert. However i have my concerns. His transfers for Norwich and previous clubs have always been lower league English Players. That may be ok for low league sides.. but if you want to compete in the Premier League.. you have to buy some foreigners. Unless you do a MON and pay overs for overrated English players. He needs to change his style and dip into the European Market. Does he have the connections from his Dortmund role to scout these players? Thats my concern. Not enough good English players around to build a top quality side.. especially as all the big clubs have the better ones. KSV? Are you serious? Do you think that A, Norwich had the money to shop in the top leagues of the world? B, That even if they did that Norwich were a big enough draw for those type of players? We all know the struggle Villa have acquiring good players so how do you expect Norwich to fair? If he is our new manager then I expect he will shop where the market allows him to, if RL were to give him 50m to spend I would expect 1 or 2 top draw sign's along with some "journey men" and some with potential. If however it were 10m then he will have to work his butt off and that may mean he has to find some gems from the lower leagues but this isn't a fault or a worry of his making but something he will have to deal with.
