ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 30 September 2012
Scarcely believably but Paul Lambert loses the Villa dressing room after just eight games in charge as the folly of his appointment is laid bare for all but the most hopelessly optimistic of supporters.
Paul Lambert's Villa fail again in the League as they can only draw at home to Albion but for all the concern about team selection and on-field performances it is behind the scenes where alarm bells are now ringing loudly in just his eighth game in charge.
The counter-productive Gérard Houllier bomb squad had been re-implemented after the relative sense of the McLeish era, and the bizarre policy of recruiting lower league imports well before their due date only to see them being preferred ahead of calm, experience, meant any semblance of a honeymoon for Lambert was well and truly over.
In that context, the decision of the mono-syllabic manager to pick a fight with Villa’s record signing, days after picking a fight with the manager of the reigning champions seemed at best questionable.
Lambert’s protestations of innocent motives didn’t wash with any but the most gullible so it was no surprise that the offended player taunted his new boss on celebrating his equalising goal.
Mutual respect was clearly in short supply, the question was just how far that was ingrained in the dressing room after eight, largely painful, games into Lambert’s reign. The rumours were that the dressing room was already well and truly lost.
