"Villa's net spend over Lambert's three seasons at the club is a whisker shy of ?50m. That

is significantly more than Everton, Newcastle, QPR, Stoke, Southampton, Sunderland, Swansea and West Brom. Over the same period, Tottenham are ?12m in the black on transfers.

Lambert has clearly been allowed to spend; he just chose to spend really, really badly.

So no, it won't be a miracle when your old mucker Tim Sherwood inevitably keeps quite an expensive squad in the Premier League."
