Strange decision by the board, can't get my head around why they would sack him now.
Simple really. He's crap.
Villa aren't showing any signs of improvement, they've scored 12 league goals, he left his leading scorer, Benteke, on the bench against Hull, let Darren Bent go to Derby and brought in Scott Sinclair.
A new manager will now have a blank sheet, I'm sure Lerner is already contemplating relegation and both he and a new manager can point the finger at lambert if they do go down.
how have villa even stayed up the last few years?

Paul Lambert Scotland June 2012 February 2015 115 34 26 55 29.57 -
the state of that line up
To be fair goat - Martin O'Neill was OK (worked his sides into the ground though - they always faded towards the end of a season)
The rest of that list, however, is indeed a sorry shambles
that was a sort of copy and paste jobby ken, o neil was ok i guess and i just couldnt be arsed to tidy it up. gives tony some stats to look at tho
Phwoar, stats!
Villa can sort of blame us a little... We took Barry and Milner off them and they were their driving force.
O'Neil got frustrated and went and it was all downhill from there! Should never have employed McLeish, was like us employing Hughes. If you don't have the fans backing from the start (and you're shit) then it's all down hill.
They sacked Lamberts number 2 for upsetting the players and then employed Keane... :o
Screams to me that they don't know what they're doing!!!
They've got a few decent players, Vlaar, Benteke, Delph, Gabbi and N'Zogbia so it's hard to see why they've scored so few until you see Cleverly in the CM role!!! ;)
tim sherwood, seems villa themselves dont give a fuck anymore
In many ways I think it would be better for their fans if they got relegated. It is soul destroying battling relegation or being in mid-table season after season. Much better to be relegated and come back up with a great season like we did under KK.
Aren't they one of the teams that have always been in the top league?
Sinclair has scored for them. Okay Schwarzer made an arse of it but still it is notable. Leicester just scored to make it 2-1 Villa.

Billy Mcneill is the only manager to manage 2 clubs relegated in the same season.
Next season we could have Bournemouth in the Premier League and Villa in the championship 8)

I question the use of the word manage during that season
I see it all ending in tears for Villa. Sherwood strikes me as an angry manager. He is like a man with a fork in a world of soup.
Once the initial buzz has gone it will end up a mess. Hope not as Villa a good ground to go and we usually do well there.
well he can't do much worse than Lambert!
sinclair scored, still lost, still shit
Well you cant polish a turd... can't judge sherwood for lamberts team. They've mostly got kids that have come up through the youth team that just don't cut the mustard
you spread mustard tone, if they cant figure that out they are fucked
Sinclair two in two games - amazing.
I thought sinclair had a very good pre season and scored a couple of good goals in them,i know its not the prem but i thought he deserved a chance but didnt get one.

Unless it's the seeds...grind and smash them buggers!
villa should have given you the job
I would bring a methodical and logical approach to the game. But in the end, I think I'd end up beheading someone...
