Does'nt need to work with the payout he is getting

Aston Villa face having to hand Paul Lambert a staggering compensation package of up to £10million after sacking him.

Villa pulled the trigger on Lambert on Wednesday night, despite the Scot only signing a new four-year deal in September worth nearly £3m a year.

And the Midlands club, who slipped into the Premier League's bottom three on Tuesday with defeat in a six-pointer at Hull, are in line to pay 45-year-old Lambert an astonishing pay-out.

MirrorSport understands his original deal, after joining in June 2012 from Norwich, was worth well over £2m.

It did not include a compensation clause, which meant payment in full if ended early.

His new deal, which included a pay-rise after he stayed loyal when owner Randy Lerner put the club up for sale last year, is believed to be structured the same way.

he's a fantastic manager that IMO would be capable of getting us into the top 6 next season.

i think villa may live to regret sacking him.

Would he be tans puppet? With 10 mill in my hip pocket I wouldn't be in any rush to drink from a poisoned chalice.

Would he work for £120,000 a year though ?

If the compo quoted above is accurate, he might just. He will be made for life. Lambert is a football man, and probably won't want to be out of the game for too long. His pride is probably hurt, too. Whether us with us, though, would remain to be seen. But he did well with Norwich at this level. Longer term, he might fancy the Celtic, or Scotland, job.
