We were delighted too - UTV

[@TheVillanAVFC]

Lambert economical with the truth about Villa. He was happy enough to sign a new contract in the September and yet was delighted to be sacked 5 months later. We were delighted as well considering the abysmal run he had us on. 2 wins and 8 league goals in his last 21 games.

[@snookerstones]

Stop crying - no one cares about villa

[@tangfastic7075]

Despised at Ipswich. Somehow managed to get a 4 year extension on his contract when we expected him to be sacked. We're probably still paying his wages. A proper interview would have exposed his failures.

[@stewartclarke2474]

Villa fan here, 100 percent agree, dreadful manager, always slagging the fans off and always seemed to be bombing out players who could have helped him e.g Hutton, bent, Warnock

[@philmuggeson1849]

Did fantastically well at my team norwich but my god he's an angry, odd little man, being economical with the truth seems to be a personality trait of his

I may have missed it but he doesn't mention his brief stint as Blackburn Rovers manager .... he signed a 2 and a half year deal in November 2015, and then activated a release clause in his contract 6 months later, after keeping them up. It's one of a few instances of a Manager " sacking " a Club, rather than the other way round ....

[@rov5308]

Story of a Blackburn fans life. Get a promising ambitious manager Make promises like players for promotion. Don’t meet said promises at all. Part ways with ambitious manager. Appoint manager to keep us up. Repeat.

[@dahsellsavon113]

Met him when I was a teenager at Celtic park in the VIP for a league cup game. I was just a teen, he was either being rested/injured. "Mr Lambert can I have an autograph please" "Mr Lambert?? Thats the first time I've heard that off a Celtic supporter" then he signed the autograph. Later on me and my cousin were walking by and hes on the phone (rare in those days) and I could hear him say "That Bobby Petta is pure dead f*cken brilliant by the way". Haha what a player he was hes still underrated to this day. That Celtic team were the best I've seen in my lifetime and he was such an integral part of it. Thanks for everything you done for Celtic Paul.

[@dubiouscaesar3709]

I can see why you wouldn't trade a wembley win, but the Wigan going down was a massive failure on Martinez's part, he rode his luck each season trying to get his backline to pass it around like they were Barcelona.

[@diavoloucraino]

He looks younger than he did when he managed Villa. Especially towards the end 🤣

[@neiltweddle8869]

Strange how the pinnacle of his managerial career was back to back promotions and keeping NCFC in the prem, yet he said he should have left us after promotion. He's been toilet everywhere he's been since, and he only got the villa job based on what he did with us. Find it odd

[@christaylor1913]

Well realistically with that board and owners etc he isn't going to achieve anything more than a relegation battling prem side at best, the season he came up his stock will have been at its highest so makes sense in hindsight for him to have left while his stock was highest?

Drew Jarvey was a class coach. although to waste time while setting up a session he told us to do keepy uppy and i was still going when he was ready to start. he came over clapping then volleyed the ball miles away n told me to go get it 🤣

[@Tom_Harding]

He’s not being very honest in this interview. He signed a new contract at Villa and knew exactly what he was walking in to. Also he had the money to buy Kozak and Benteke but couldn’t sign Lukaku on loan? That sounds like BS.

[@Doooooooooooood]

I wonder if the same guy sorted out Scott Booth's move from Aberdeen to Dortmund and ultimately on to Twente as well. Booth, arguably at the time was higher regarded than Lambert in Scotland.

[@andyhopkins7384]

Not a word about his brief stint as Wolves manager either where the fans weren't really bothered by him going, the football was mostly dull and ineffective, bombed out players like Saiss who went on to become an integral part of Nunos team, used his contacts in the press to try and garner sympathy and support for him on his way out... A manager who dined out on the style of football his Norwich side played and who never ever replicated it anywhere else afterwards, certainly not at Wolves.

[@matthewj6026]

Good point about the Premier League. You can be mid table in the championship and you have some sort of team spirit, as soon as you get promoted to the prem the team spirit just gets torn apart what with owners thinking they've got to buy top players and hammerings every week. The top tier shouldn't be like that, it's a closed shop nowadays, it's so dull.
