Signed up on the back of this and of it turns out to be a PR stunt I'll leave as that would be very very silly.

If not, well done and congrats on the board and potential itk for now I'll remain a curious skeptic

Your choice, not all ITK comes true but our source has a pretty good record.

They are gone.

His position has been untenable for ages, since Chelsea humiliated us.

And Lambert???

surely he can't survive beyond May unless we win all our remaining games? It's a great way of completely undermining him - sack the staff he wanted

good hes a dick!! surly Gary Karsa gone too ... isn't he Lamberts brother in law?

If the HAVE sacked Culverhouse and Karsa, the only realistic option for Lambert is to tender his resignation.

The Club can confirm that Gordon Cowans and Shay Given have been temporarily promoted to assist manager Paul Lambert and his first team coaching staff.

Paul Lambert said: "I'm delighted to have Gordon and Shay to assist me in preparing the team for Saturday which is what the whole group is focussed on."

Gordon Cowans said: "The manager has asked me to step up to assist him at this time and I'll do my utmost for the Club and the manager in helping prepare the team for Saturday's game against Southampton."

Shay Given said: "As players, it's important that each and every one of us take responsibility right now and I'm delighted to play my part in helping the manager and the team go and try to win on Saturday."

The Club can also confirm in response to media speculation that Ian Culverhouse and Gary Karsa have been suspended pending an internal investigation.

@thegoalzone: Villa suspend assistant manager Ian Culverhouse and head of football operations Gary Karsa

Official.

TBAR's sources were spot on and I never doubted it.

CONFIRMED

How can given assist lambert after being frozen our by him - no way lambert has made that choice - he is totally undermined now

Perhaps that's what Faulkner is hoping  :) 

Hmmm, is TBAR claiming all 3 points here ?
Suspended not sacked ?

Maybe just a draw for now?  

An internal investigation suggests wrong doing, other of course, than the way Villa are playing   

This place was the first to break the news of the training ground problems with Culverhouse and, given that the man he had the biggest problem with has just been given his job, Culverhouse is finished.

Would you bet on either returning to their role?

Indeed. Does anybody seriously see him coming back from this suspension?

Training ground bust up? You heard it here first.
Take-over? You heard it here first.
Culverhouse and Karsa gone? You heard it here first.

BOOM

This should of been a clean break all 3 should have gone ! silly keeping Lambert without his bums .... real silly!

Not at all, and good riddance.
I wish we'd gone for the clean sweep though.l

I think lambert is isolated now - a poor performance on Saturday and he will have nowhere to hide - a matter of time

Breaking news on SSN.

Makes faulkners statement about uniting look rather silly considering this news.
