priceyrice 123 Posted May 18, 2018 Rough deal I think. He did ok at Stoke but inherited a horrendous team a la Hughes.As much as I would like to say we have moved on I would take him back in a heart beat. To think what cost us here was not giving him an extra mill or two to buy Benteke (who went on to be sol for over £30m I believe)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 746 Posted May 18, 2018 I’d take him back in a heartbeat, the current management is boring me to tears. At least lambert liked his team to have a go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,140 Posted May 18, 2018 It was mutual consent and makes you think he was only brought in as a stop-gap, troubleshooter and it didn''t come off.I don''t see that PL''s reputation is particularly tarnished by this episode, although there always seems to have been a lot of mitigating circumstances surrounding his lack of real success at any of his jobs since leaving Carrow Road.Nevermind, the dosh keeps rolling in one way or another. It pays to fail at football management these days.I notice the binmen are convincing themselves that the very glib Jack Ross at St. Mirren will be their very own messiah. They are literally slavering at their mouths at the prospect of him coming to the ''Loo as manager, risky as it seems to the critical outsider like myself.If this transpires would Lambert take the vacant job with the ''Buddies'' or would he consider this beneath him?

lake district canary 4,531 Posted May 18, 2018 He''s been, he''s gone and we have moved on. Anyway, the success he had was (imo) down to three people, not two, Lambert, Culverhouse.....and Grant Holt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Vince 318 Posted May 18, 2018 The real power behind the Lambert throne was the boy Karsa. The boy was a genius; had a photographic memory and could recall every move of every player in the league; made Lambert''s job easy by providing the blueprint for every contest.Lambert - Culverhouse - Karsa. Has to be this threesome or it doesn''t work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 18, 2018 Paul Lambert was an inspired but lucky appointment. It was a scriptwriters dream. And as LDC says, he had Holt.His record before joining us wasn''t fantastic and it has been poor since.I loved the period he was with us and his brand of football to me was akin to the Saunders days and entertainment was never lacking.However, I always have two cups of coffee for breakfast in the morning but the second one is never as good as the first.

Highland Canary 76 Posted May 18, 2018 We should embrace the culture of underachievement and lack of ambition - surely we’re too small a club for a manager with Premier League experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 18, 2018 But what if it''s a Eddie Howe type scenario at Bournmouth? Eddie Howe had a stint at Bournmouth then left for Burnley and had a stinker then back to Bournmouth to pick up where he left off guiding them to the promised land and keeping them there. Could Lambert do the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But in football terms it’s hard to see where his next opportunity is coming from. Had Stoke kept him on, he may well have rejuvenated his career with a strong team at this level. I can’t see anything other than a mid to lower championship team taking a punt on him now. And the miracle he performed here only comes about every 2000 or so years!

River End Canary 18 Posted May 18, 2018 It''s an interesting question re whether Lambert should come back I hadn''t considered it before but after careful thought I think that would solve all out problems So I would suggest Farke out Messiah back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
