Simple poll - OGS vs Lambert

[Summers]

My head says Lambert. Safer pair of hands and all that.. but I'm voting for OGS - and even I'm not sure why I'd prefer him. Just feels right. I like the way he talks, the way he has Molde playing, and the way in which he's spoken about our club.

Maybe Paul Lambert should release a propaganda video on YouTube seeing as so many people seem to be using that as a basis for deciding Solskjaer is a great manager who plays football 'the right way'

He doesn't have to. There's plenty of hard evidence on Norwich. With Lambert you almost know what you are getting, plus he meets most of the criteria we would want in our next manager. With OGS we all think from our limited information that he meets the same criteria, we are influenced by his background, and by the fact that he has been succesful in his own league immediately. It is the complete unknown that is intriguing. A bit like a bird being more attractive with a sexy dress on the first time you see her, than being competely naked from the start. You want to be teased a little.

Has be OSG.  All the MON links to Lambert leave me a bit uneasy.

[Clampy]

I'm not voting because i'd be fairly happy with either. OSG is a gamble obviously but it seems to have caught everyone's imagination. I like Lambert as well though, he seems like a decent coach and we'd suit him.

I think we may well need a Harry Hill type fight to settle it.

OGS pumps my nads.

The things some people will do for a job.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaers Claret and Blue Army!

OGS for me...I'd rather step into the unknown of potential of relegation or Europe, than settle for the easy option of average midtable-ness!

[Legion]

OGS.

[Chipsticks]

While everything I've seen about OGS has been immensely positive, he is definitely a gamble and that's what worries me. With everything that's happened to our club recently, I'm not sure a gamble is the best move. We need a safe pair of hands to make sure we don't end up anywhere near the relegation fight.

I get both sides of the argument, though. I'm happy either way really - I just want it sorted soon so we can move on.

[TheSandman]

I'd be happy with either, but on balance I'd choose Lambert. I just think he is the right fit, and that some of the criticisms of him are unduly harsh. Also, what are believed to be his weaknesses might be what ultimately makes him so well suited to the job. We've had a manager who tried to make sweeping change in Houllier and that did not turn out well. What we need, is a manager who brings about incremental rather than dramatic change and not to transform too much too soon.

[OCD]

From everything I've read, Lambert is as big (if not bigger) a gamble.

Like others, I am quite excited about OGS, however if the club decide on the safer option of Lambert I`m OK with that also

Youre right. The danger is you could spend all night buying her drinks and flirting with her, only to take her home, lift her skirt and find....well, you've seen The Crying Game haven't you.

Agreed with you there.

This is not the time for a revolution, it's the time for a steady re-building progress.
