The Scot has overseen a dismal 2014-15
campaign, with the club recording just five
wins in the Premier League so far, and the
defeat to Hull City on Tuesday proving the
final straw


Paul Lambert has been
sacked as manager of
Aston Villa, the club have
confirmed.
Villa have endured a dismal
season to date and
currently sit in the relegation zone, having won
just five of their 25 Premier League games in
2014-15.
Lambert oversaw a 2-0 loss to Hull City on
Tuesday - a result that came after back-to-back
defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal - and the club
have now "parted company" with the Scot.
An official Villa statement read: "Aston Villa
Football Club has parted company this evening
with manager Paul Lambert.
"First-team coach Scott Marshall and
goalkeeping coach Andy Marshall will continue to
prepare the squad for Sunday's FA Cup tie with
Leicester City at Villa Park.
"The club would also like to place on record its
thanks to Paul and take this opportunity to wish
him every success in the future.
"The club will announce a new manager in due
course."
Villa have not won in the league since December
7 - a 2-1 victory over Leicester City - and will
begin the post-Lambert era against the same
opposition this weekend, in an FA Cup fifth
round tie.

I saw the hand writing on the wall and I duly told a friend this could happen this week earlier on today.

So, it came as no surprise to me when I saw the caption on Supersport tonight.
