Surprised he kept the job for so long - not too many years ago Villa were a regular top 6 finisher under Martin O'Neill

Me too, I thought Keane was there to replace him.
If his media interviews were anything to go by...there is no wonder he couldn't inspire his team.

No real surprise, he's been a 'dead man walking' for quite a while - I wonder who his replacement will be?

Leicester, Burnley and QPR still currently odds-on for Relegation!

[ChillDoubt]

Same as joeluke, I'm frankly amazed he lasted as lomg as he did, the club appeard to stay in neutral equilibrium throughout his tenancy and certainly never advanced.

In fairness to Lambert this is a picture of the men in charge at Villa in a recent Board Meeting.

Expect the Chairman will have to look amongst the usual failures who come out of the woodwork to apply when one of these jobs comes up.

Perhaps we could supply an outboard motor
