Too right, no one knows all the in''s and out''s of his conversation''s with McNally in the days leading up to his resignation. This guy performed some miracles for us and I''ll always remember the last 3 years with immeasurable fondness, was one hell of a ride. I was f**kin gutted that he left yeah, but there seems to be even anger towards him on here from some people.

Massive no from me for Zigic! He doesn''t even start that many games for Birmingham and bar a few games, looks totally useless. For a tall lad, he is not all that at winning balls or causing major problems. Ouch. If Hughton is going back to Birmingham for players I''d take Davies and Redmond!

[quote user="paul moy"][quote user="RonnieCorbet"][quote user="Jacko"] Ultimately we have our backroom team in place. Lambert is the one who needs them in before pre season (assuming he wants them). We are in the superior bargaining position here. If we keep our nerve Villa will eventually have to buckle and pay up. For a so called giant of the game they really have been two bob and tinpot over this situation. [/quote]Would you in the same situation? Why waste money when you might be able to get them free or cheaper very soon? Can see why Villa are playing a canny game, they''ve reportedly spent £14 million on compensation and buy outs for managers in past 24 months.[/quote] A big club would pay up as this is pocket money to them, and they have a reputation to protect as this may come back to bite them in future dealings throughout the football world. I think they''ve got far less money than they are letting on. After all they are 120 million in debt, reducing wages and it has been rumoured that they may need to sell Bent to finance Lambert''s plans. [/quote]If Villa can get them free or cheap, they''ll wait for them for free, if not then they''ll pay up if Lambo really wants them. Big club or small club. You don''t have to throw away money if you are big/biggish/medium sized club. Villa not money bags like Man City or Chelsea.

So thats why theyre ripping us off b3ll 3nd[/quote]It ain''t our fault, but you can see why they are holding out to await developments if that is the case. Sure they''ll pay up if Lambo really wants them.

Get over Lambert! He just wants to move dug outs so Villa''s is closer to the Holte End, to try and harness the power of the fans. Get the Holte going, to get the rest going. No biggy! Forget about about Lambert, it''s all about a new era now.
