Lambert Out?

[ozzjim]

Sooner have that than Sam.

I wouldn't.  The football and the results are far worse than what Allardyce is managing at West Ham. 

Did you want Sam over Lambert in the summer?

I'd have chosen him over Lambert this summer.

Not what you said in the summer.

Is the grass always greener on the other side of the fence to you!

I've always rated Allardyce.  As I said in the summer: "Allardyce worked miracles at Bolton."

It's the constant chopping and changing of the management side of the club over the last three years that have landed us in the sh*t we find ourselves in at the present. Another change of manager now with all the instability that it would bring, new gaffer, new coaches and probably a new style of play would only serve to make us even more likely to be relegated.
What AVFC needs now more than anything else is stability on the managerial/coaching side of things.
Yes things are going to be a bit hairy this season but I don't believe we will be relegated.
Give Paul Lambert time and I reckon that he will turn us around. Yes I know that people want instant success but real life isn't like that.
Oh and by the way Randy can always point to Carrow Road last season and say "well you guys wanted him so you only have yourselves to blame."

You also said...."I would go for Lambert, I really would" indicating him as your choice. Strange that 12 games in with a pretty inexperienced new side rather than look for any positives you seem to constantly bang the drum of the negative. Give him time.

[Risso]

It's the constant selling of our better players, and the appointing of rubbish managers that have landed us in the shite I think you'll find.  Houllier and McLeish were dreadful appointments, and so far Lambert isn't proving to be any better.

He bought most of the inexperienced players!  Time is something we don't have.

Because shelling out millions on proven premiership players was getting us a long way wasn't it? If you asked for a 99 with a flake, and got one, you would be critical of the lack of sauce and sprinkles.

It is all too knee jerk. McLeish got longer with most fans that you are giving Lambert.

Wasn't that to be expected though as it's what he's always done before he joined us?

Sigh.  It is possible to buy GOOD proven players you know, just because McLeish couldn't manage it.

But then he'd only worked at a small club like Norwich, and had only one season in the Premier League.  I've never bought a Ferrari but if you gave me a million quid tomorrow I would.

I think we have to give Lambert time whatever happens this season, he may be learning on the job and it might be at our expense. We can not go on the manager roundabout any more. Every declining club that takes that route sinks even quicker.
We are a Club in serious decline, there is no doubt about that. The only thing we can be hopefull for is that we have a manager with his own ideas, a squad of many young and determined players that seem to want to play for the shirt.
There are still many legacy issues that Lambert has to be given time to resolve. Dunne, Hutton, Nzogbia, Ireland? Given?
I think there is a very good chance that we will go down this season and I would still keep Lambert unless of course he loses the plot.

He went for Vlaar and KEA who are experienced but obviously not in England. His transfers so far were pretty much along the lines that I expected from him. Young lower league and overseas players.

It is, Vlaar is one. But then if you had 25 million and needed 7-8 players to make a squad, with some of the ones we had already, surely the route taken was quite logical. Proven players cost a lot of money, and even more in wages.
