Watershed moments are only identifiable with hindsight. Manyoo's could've been beating forest in the cup in '90. Given our stop-start up-down nature over the last thirty-one years, I'm pretty certain we've not had one, in that time-frame, prior to this season. In my lifetime, I'd pinpoint an event that happened when I was too young to know; appointing Vic Crowe. The club had reached its nadir, and that decision sparked a chain of events which would take some 12 years to reach The Greatest Night. But all traceable back to Crowe's appointment.Maybe it was Monday. Maybe it was the swift removal of TSM. But it'd be fantastic if historians have this debate in the future, and they pinpoint a moment where I can say, "I was there"!
The watershed moment for me was the appointment of Lambert. We've shown glimpses all season of what we're capable.As well as making sure we tie the rising stars to long term contracts, we need to make sure of keeping hold of Lambert too.
Too early to talk about watershed moments.I can think of plenty of times where we've thought we had one of those moments, only to find it go to shit the very next match.
I doubt they'd ever offer it to someone unlikely to take the job, GC.
Is this week the watershed moment for PL, that SAF had with MUFC all those years ago?

At the beginning of the season the whole playing side needed a big overhaul and some on here even predicted we would get relegated. Lambert is slowly turning it round, picking players on merit (no matter how inexperienced or young) and won't play players on reputation alone. A lot of the big salary earners will go in summer and this will free up money (salary wise) to get more exciting young players in. Seeing the way some of the youngsters have performed and carried on trying their hearts out week after week after big knockbacks (Chelski, Bradford, Wigan & Spurs at home) makes me think we have a good future.
