Some whispers this evening that Paul Lambert as resigned as manager of the club more details to come!

Unbelievable11
I'd be amazed if he quit. Not in his DNA. Aside from anything else, it would be absolute career suicide to jump with the club at its lowest ebb. If he goes, it will be the board that instigate it but they, above all others, must shoulder much of the blame for the club's current position. Funds need to be made available to buy the rest of the jigsaw pieces. Mr. Lerner's pumped plenty in over the years but what cost relegation!! Thick and thin time fellas! In Lambert we trust. UTV.

I don't think pl should go and I will say again randy leaner should sell up because to me he has got no ambition and no more support for the club anymore so to me it's time leave. It's sounds like he is prepared to drop into the championship and to use the players he has got to try and get them back up .

He won't its not the manager its the players they don't want to play together simple need experience

Aston Villa, fresh from humiliation in the Capital One Cup, will now step up their search for signings and want Derby County midfielder Jeff Hendrick.

Lambert now has to go, how people are still backing him is beyound me, his project of "young hungry" players has failed misserably, what he failed to realise is it quality that is needed. if you buy a bunch of lower league players you end up in the lower leagues fact. lambert out now and give someone a bit of time to get a couple of players in.
angry villa fan!

Are you one of the supporters who begged the board to go for Lambert? this is what he does!! he can';t handle big time charlie's who only want money i.e. BENT, have faith, Lambert will get Villa back into top half where they belong. Top 6 is pushing it I'm afraid.
Agree8

It wasn't his idea he's just doing what randy Lerner told him to do, he said get a young hungry side so he didn't have to spend much so when he sells it in the summer which he will he wouldn't of lost as much money Lerners the problem not lambert

Just what we need another crappy lower league player. suppose he will fit in next season in the Championship. Can't believe myself and my Dad wasted £65 for the privelidge of watching that shower last night. The Guardian today claimed Ireland had and I quote "looked promising in a free role" really? I thought he was lazy, uninterested and off the pace and a disgrace to the shirt...but then what do I know. I am struugling to take any positives from last night and feel the club from the top to the bottom has a tired feeling about it. Time for big changes. Who would have thought that Warnock/Hutton would have been favourable to Bennett/Lowton et al last night?
Agree4

Harry stepped in and has had the ability to fund transfers and replace poor performing players at QPR. Whilst I sympathise in that Lambert hasn't achieved that much he also hasn't really been fed finance to buy his way out either. You think any new manager can wave a magic wand and achieve more than what Lambert has done and improve in time to save the bacon ? don't think so.
Agree5

Agreed. PL has to go for the good of the club, his own sake and to loosen RL's grip on the purse strings for a new manager.
Football is still a simple game - you pass the ball to players wearing the same shirts and score more than the opposition whilst preventing your opponents from scoring.
Because of PL's incessant tinkering with the side and ridiculous substitutions, he has become emblematic of a modern breed of manager who analyses too deeply, adheres to oddball 'tactics' and the fabled 'squad rotation'. Add to that a shower of ill-equipped, largely clueless and rudderless players and it spells nothing but disaster.
Time to wake up in B6.

Lambert is still the man we need BUT he needs to do a few things..
1) But Warnock but in for Bennett.
2) Buy some quality!
3) Stop with the stupid sub's!
4) Get DB9 back!
5) Focus on the EPL!

Have just said Lambert's job is safe, even if you go down, So you know what happens next

Pl doesn't use wingers, as soon as I heard that I knew it was bound to be a disaster, and ireland and bannan are useless players, and lowton and bennet are not good enough for the premier league, and pl is not a premier league manager he is more of a chanpionship manager maybe that's why Rl appointed him because he knew villa was goning to be in the championship next season.
Agree4

So sacking the manager is the answer? WAKE UP, Lambert is working under the restrictions set by the board, he's brought in quality players in Benteke, Vlaar, Westwood and Lowton. The problem is the players we've accumilated over the previous seasons like Ireland, N'zogbia and Bent. If the monies not there to buy the midfielder and defender we obviously need how can that be Lamberts fault.
Agree4

Nzog as been our best player in the last 2 games.

Bent is one of the EPL's finest ever goal scorers & N'Zog is back to his best!
What are you smoking!?

In reply to an earlier msg. no i'm not one of these people who begged we sign lambert but I was open to giving him a chance. as far i'm concerned his chance is over. alarm bells where ringing when he started signing lower leage players but still I thought give him a chance. more alarm bells when he droped darren bent cause he's not a team player, big ben not exactly a team player either. bent knows where the net is his record shows that give him the ball in the box and he will score. if other players can't get him the ball which is their job then its not his fault.

Who we supposed to get instead who could make any diffrence

2 games doesn't make n'zogbia a success after 2 seasons of dross. Bent would be a great player in the villa side of 4 years ago but right now we need a player who works as well as scores.

Why not Palacios? I don't believe he has moved?
Palacios, Huddlestone, cheeky bid for Dawson but we won't get him now,
