This is where his poor mouth tale starts to fall apart...He was horribly advised to take that contract to be fair to him....scrabbling around to pick up the likes of Senderos, Joe Cole and Richardson on frees
Having somewhat been in Lambert's position, if the company offers you a contract and both sides sign it, if they want to get rid of you then they should honour the terms within it. Both sides would have been fully aware of the terms and what each would be entitled to if one or the other party terminates the contract. Lambert was perfectly within his right to stick around and collect the money. The notion of him walking away makes no sense and pride/dignity mean nothing at all. In the end he has had 3 jobs since and amazingly somehow has found his way to manage a PL football club. So instead of walking away for nothing he got paid for being fired.

The problem is, if you take that view and stick around waiting for the inevitable then you look like a bit of a twat if you start telling people you'd been wanting to leave for 8months by the time it happened and acting like it was an impossible job and was killing you. This isn't about having the dignity to walk, it's about having the sense to walk away with your money and keep your mouth shut.
He's like a divorcee forced to accept that the one for them didn't feel the same. No matter where he pitches up he has to talk about us.

But I'm not holding my breath.
Lambert did have a difficult job on limited resources, but he could have done it a lot better and been more honest about his own failings. Which included signing a load of shit, or at best mediocre, players (Benteke being the exception), recruiting poor coaching staff, not having a proper scouting system and then coming out with great steaming piles of bullshit to try and excuse dreadful performances.
