King Kevin Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yep unfortunately looks like Pearce doing a great job as well, unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Straight race between Redfearn and Pearce. Kind of depends on which dotty foreign owner employs the fastest typist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Strange team. Take draw-specialists to the next level. They've lost one more than us and won the same amount as Leeds. As a manager you need wins and with 13 draws in 25 games they clearly felt he wasn't getting enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazilianram Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Pretty sure Holloway is next in line. Losing to Blackpool is a hell of an accomplishment these days. Good thing it's really easy to dislike Millwall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Still a lot of managers under pressure, not least Paul Lambert at Villa My friend is a Villa fan and neither of us can understand how Lambert is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Lambert. Although I imagine Pearson must now be walking a very slim tightrope. Villa have scored fewer goals in 25 games than we did in *that* season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaverRam Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Worth a few bob on Malky Mckay (sp)? Shocking job at Wigan and disliked by the fans. If DW still has any kind of appetite for the club he'll move him out pronto as they are going DOWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Lambert can't last much longer, surely. I understand that Lerner isn't interested in spending any cash, but if this form continues they are in real danger of getting relegated and the value of the club will plummet. There also isn't a suitable replacement available, certainly not one they wont have to pay compensation for, but it's getting close to the point where Villa would be better served rolling the dice on getting a few points from "the new manager bounce" than going down with a whimper under Lambert. I feel sorry for the Villa fans. Obviously staying in the Premiership is important and there is a need to be pragmatic at times, but their goal scoring record and the way they play is absolutely unacceptable. Their squad is poor, but they have a strong spine of players in Guzan, Vlaar, Delph, and Benteke who would easily get into a top half team. There is no way they should be playing such negative and depressing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think a summary of Lambert's prowess as a manager is that he publicly stated that Bent wasn't getting in the team for footballing reasons... Bent has 4 in 5 games... Villa have 12 in 25 as a team... Yeh... With a strike force like that I wouldn't want Bent either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the footballing reason is that the rest of them are so carp that Bent was expected to play CF, RW, FB, DCM and with a dash of CB thrown in and proved himself not up to the job(s).....?

To be fair their defence is perfectly adequate... I think, using Lambert's judgement on Bent as a barometer, there's a fairly good chance he was asking Bent to play in goal... He's obviously a TOP manager... a great judge of a players worth... and so obviously decided Bent was best played between the sticks... I hear he's trying to persuade David Seaman out of retirement to solve their goalscoring problem and Michael Jordan to play LB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way they should be playing such negative and depressing football. Why feel sorry for them? They deserve it. Going back a while, they treated Gregory like sausage. They treated O'Leary like sausage, they treated O'Neill like sausage, they showed nothing but a lack of respect whilst treating McClaren like sausage for applying for the job. (I wonder where they'd be now!) They gets what they deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Doubt we'll see to many more go, bit too late for a new manager to change anything. Pearson is still on the edge and so is Lambert. Could see Pellegrini going at the end of the season if they fail to win anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
