Former Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has insisted that he does not know whether the Villains will ever win promotion to the Premier League, should they not do so this season.
The Villains are currently one of the favorites to win promotion this season and will have the experienced Chelsea legend John Terry as club captain for the season.
In addition to Terry, the club also have experienced campaigners such as Chris Samba, Ahmed Elmohamady and Glenn Whelan to call upon.
With such an ageing squad assembled over the summer though, Lambert now feels that it could be a long time in the wilderness should Villa fail to win promotion this season.
He said, “To be honest with you, I think this is their best chance to do it this year,”“Every time I’ve seen Glenn Whelan, he looks a brilliant player. He’ll carry them along. I think if they don’t go up this year, then I don’t know that they ever will.”
