Best news for ages ! It had to happen !

Right then, get safe and win the FA Cup, that'll do!

I might eat my words in the future, but I'm going to savour saying this: I genuinely don't care, cos whoever it is, they cannot, simply cannot be worse that that absolute fuckwit that's just gone

Had to be done, he has lost the respect of the team, they were fed up with him, same as us, we must push on, I think we stand a better chance without him. Looking to see who they will get in?

While the fact that he's gone is great news, hands up who thinks we have a plan B in place.

I'm totally ecstatic by this. Who do we get? Let's aim high

If we appoint like we have been off the field, then maybe we will?

Good grief, that is absolutely amazing!

I never thought it would happen, I am in total shock!

This is the start of a new dawn lets hope we can get it right this time!

As Dan says now is the time to get right behind the team!

Absolutely no chance, but what the hell!

Hope it's not another leicester and we reinstate the twat later!

WOOHOO! As promised I'll be at the next league match, see you all there. I'll be the one in claret and blue cheering on the team.

Must have been the relegation zone clause in Lambert's contract.

Just a sobering thought - we're currently second bottom in the as it stands Prem table.

Whoever comes in needs to get us firing asap. Lots of comments from people on BBC saying Lambert was financially hamstrung and didn't stand a chance. Sorry but I'd take our squad over 7 or 8 other teams in the Prem. Yeah sure it's been a factor, but no way the major one - a totally clueless useless manager has been the main cause - people have achieved far more with far less - Bradford V Chelsea anyone?

Well, the club has finally reacted to our almost terminal situation. It had to happen but I'm not celebrating, our position is far too precarious for that. We need to move quickly in our search for our new manager and we have to bring in a whole new coaching team.

I think the team will respond on Saturday, the fans will be behind the team. Needs to be full on. 
Agree on a new coaching team, get this team up to speed and fit.

I forgot to add, good luck to Paul Lambert in whatever his new career is.

Put the Trees on plane watch. Is it possible rumours at the start of the season about Klinsmann mzy come true.

I think the new manager has already been selected and appointed too. The statement reads "New manager will be announced" and not search for a new manager etc

i think its just the way its worded. but they cant dither with an appointment. thats worse than keeping lambert!

With you VB we now need to kick in find a manager who can get the best from the players. On a personal note I have felt sorry for Lambert no funds no real support finaniacially, what I haven't felt sorry about is the tactics and the hard headed belief that he was right. Lets not forget players they have a large part to play in our current position, they need to step up.

I am hoping the dead cat bounce might get us 6 points, a bit of breathing space and some goals

Maybe but I think they've been looking in the background for weeks if not months. Somebody to be unveiled before the game Sunday I reckon

Ffs lets hope this is not another message from Learner and did what he did at the start of the season. You know the one the clubs for sale.
Lets hope mr fox has it in control and a manager is on his way.

Coincidentally I've just written to Fox asking him if he is willing to accept the personal  reputational consequences should the club be relegated on his watch because he didn't sack Lambert.

He's cocking a deaf 'un.

Seems like he was listening after all.

I claim credit.

Greg Evans in The Mail says he thinks Lambert would have kept us up if he'd stayed. Seriously can this man really claim to be a journalist covering Aston Villa? Or even a journalist?

The man's a blithering idiot.
