Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted December 13, 2010 Dont wanna be the bringer of doom but every donkey team in the Prem losing there manager is a high threat to us !Its my greatest fear that we will lose Lambo to one of these yoyo or bottom half no body prem teams :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
In Dubious Battle 0 Posted December 13, 2010 Football has gone crazy, Hughton & Allardyce were both doing decent enough jobs at their clubs. Yet losers like Avram Grant & Roy Keane remain employed? I don''t think we need fear them coming for Paul Lambert, they will no doubt be after a foreign coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted December 13, 2010 I don''t think it is much of a worry. I''m guessing the new owners sacked Allardyce because they are looking for a bigger name to take the club forward, and I doubt they''d hire someone from a lower league without any top-level managerial experience.Martin Jol, seeing as how he left Ajax last week?

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted December 13, 2010 Apologies for the double post, but Jol is indeed the favourite, with Curbishley and Hughton in the mix too.Lambert''s odds vary between 10/1 and 33/1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJP 79 Posted December 13, 2010 Potentially a big mistake. Can''t see who is going to do a better job than him unless they''re going to throw a lot of money at the playing squad and if that does turn out to be the case then why didn''t they give him a chance to spend some money? Sam will be ok though, he''s obviously getting a nice pay off from them and he''ll be able to get another good job in management at some point if he fancies it.

In Dubious Battle 0 Posted December 13, 2010 He took over a club in the relegation zone, guides them to 10th the following season and they are hardly struggling this season, they would have gone 7th if they had beaten Bolton at the weekend. What more could the man realistically have done? They are only Blackburn after all! Though perhaps the new owners want to see some decent football played? Thats all well and good, but if their current squad try and play passing football they will end up relegated. I would have though Martin Jol is most likely. I have little fear of Lambert leaving, the mid table clubs are unlikely to gamble on someone with no top flight experience and why would Lambert join a club in the relegation zone given how close we are to promotion. Add to the fact that we are in actuality a bigger club with more potential than most of these teams then any move he made would surely be a sideways one? Its the Celtic job we ought to be concerned about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xxxx 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Rumours have already begun circulating concerning a successor, with Glenn Roeder reportedly ready to step in to the hot-seat, but owner Marcus Evans seems loathe to dispense with the services of a man he appointed 18 months ago. With their next two matches against an in-form Watford and an improving Leicester side, Keane''s reflection is sure to show a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He insists he will not walk away and the Ipswich hierarchy insist he will not be sacked. With this impasse, it could continue to be a disappointing season for the supporters. Matt GreenNow wouldnt that just be so funny if they end up with good old Glen Roeder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted December 14, 2010 I think we''re pretty safe on this one. The new owners are going to want to appoint a big name manager to spend all of the £millions they''re pumping into the club. The time for us to worry will be when David Moyes finally realises he''s taken Everton as far as he can and quits. If Lambert is still doing a good job when that happens I can see him ending up as their new manager [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a silly hunch all along that Lambert would end up at Everton for some reason! Not only the sort of club I can see him being attracted to (the tradition, long time fallen giants, Liverpool as a footballing City etc etc)-plus, of course, Everton struck gold with Moyes who they got, as a young, up and coming Scottish Manager, from a Championshoip club that he had re-energised...oh dear, they''re made for each other!! I still think Martin O''Neill will be Norwich boss again, one day. If he was, IF, he was out of work/available as and when Lambert does go, I''d punt on him even then, unlikely as it sounds. But thats hypothetical. Blackburn''s new owners, it would seem, want the glamour and big name Manager, talk of Maradona being a target for them this morning!That''d be entertaining!

First Wizard 0 Posted December 14, 2010 My only fear is West Ham, they must be close to getting rid of Grant, and Gold and Sullivan are well arware of Paul Lambert I reckon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted December 14, 2010 I don''t think we need to fear the departure of Lambo just yet, but there certainly will come a day when a big club tempts him away - if he keeps up the good work he''s doing for City, of course.On the Blackburn job, I also heard that they are interested in Diego Maradona Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
