The Silent Consistency This is my second review of the candidates for the vacant Aston Villa job. Today the spotlight is on Paul Lambert a success story which has gone unnoticed quite a bit. Lambert who currently manages Norwich City has built a successful team who are in the premier league for another season and have a striker who scored the second most goals for an Englishman. Lambert took a broken Norwich team from league one to the premier league on three seasons. Under Lambert's guidance Norwich won league 1, championship and finished 12th in Norwich's first season back in the top flight. With back to back promotions under his belt and premiership survival secured by a long way Lambert to me seems an ideal choice. His success at Norwich was completed on a low budget and the signings of lower league players who have proved they can play in the top flight shows Lambert can also motivate players and sign good players who are cheaper than well known players. One player who I would like to have at Villa is Grant Holt. Holt has been Norwich's top goal scorer for the past 3 seasons and scored 17 last term in the premier league. Holt then would be a good acquisition if he were to play at Villa. Lambert also had a successful career at Celtic in his playing days and is eye for bargains and winning are good attributes to have. The latest news is that lambert has fallen out with the Norwich board over spending money for the summer. Grant Holt also had a transfer request turned down which has alerted Villa. Lambert then is set to talk to Villa on Monday. So far I feel Lerner has made two good decisions by talking to Solskjaer and soon to be Lambert. I would like either Lambert of Solskjaer to be the next Villa manger.
