Kolin Kob 0 Posted July 11, 2011 [quote user="Old Shuck"]Walker retains the appreciation and admiration of many of the players he had when he was here, especially the 92-93 squad.His strength was his man management and who he got the best out of people, gave them belief and confidence in their ability. Ask someone, for one example, like Gossy about him, the way he treated people and wanted football to be played.He''s enjoying his retirement now but his input on many things remains valuable and if Lambert is tapping into him on some bits and pieces, then good for him. I''m sure, mind you, that Lambert has contacts and friends all over the world who he regularly chats to about all things football, Walker being one of them.[/quote]In a lot of ways Lambert has more strings to his bow. Mike Walker only ever signed three players of any note, whereas Lambert has built up an entire team practically from scratch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it was against this background that their little chats apparently happened as I understand it.Maybe he''s had little chats with Ken Brown, Dave Stringer and even Worthy. I mean I would I would if I were him. But nobody pinched me about any with those particular former City managers, so who knows? [C] OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted December 14, 2011 Is this the sort of thread that folk were referring to in the " The Pink ''Un Forum''s not what it used to be...." topic last week ? At least half of it seems to be personal backbiting and people trying to settle old scores . Very little is actually devoted to the matter in hand. It may be true that PL has cosy fireside chats with MW . It may be a load of tosh . Who knows ? But, as someone said earlier, it''s perfectly simple ; if you find a thread that doesn''t interest you, just don''t contribute . In the same way that, if there''s nothing good on telly, there''s always the "off button ". Simples. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
