Lambert is suffering because of the silly spending of Martin O'Neill, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Neill-spent-120million-years-Aston-Villa.html - some terrible purchases there. Reo-Coker for 8.5m!
They did similar in the last few years of Doug Ellis, one of their managers spent a fortune on shit players and the next guy inherited a crap team with not much money to spend on making it his own.
David O'Leary.
Had this discussion on the radio a few weeks back. Guy I'm on with is a big Celtic fan and won't hear a word against MON. "They finished 6th three times in a row under O'Neill. Look at where they are now."
I pointed out the spending, and also that this was 6th before we were all that good and City got their money. Plus it's only 6th and one of those seasons Villa were 3rd for a long time and should have finished in CL positions.
Bet they regret giving up a season's shirt sponsorship for that kids charity now.
