I take your point,but how are the reasons still valid.He looks,act's and sounds like a sick puppy waiting for the vet to give a shot.
Just because he has a manner of speech that some of don't like it doesn't invalidate his success track . How do you know he didn't sound like you say when he was at Norwich?

I couldn't give a stuff what he achieved with Norwich, the fact is he finds new ways to humiliate our great club on a weekly basis.  Owen Coyle had an excellent record with Burnley, and even beat Man U, before getting relegated with Bolton, and Lambert is seemingly following in his footsteps.

You pay peanuts that is what you get. He is making mistakes but the players we have are shit. You cannot scrimp in the PL you will get punished.

He had £25m to spend.  whatever the wage constraints, that's more than most teams had in the summer.  He took McLeish's shite team, and with a combination of bad buys and terrible coaching, has made it infinitely worse.

Is it just me or are his interviews getting harder and harder to understand what he is saying as the days go by?

Funny when McLeish was in charge the argument was he wasn't getting the best out of the players. He actually over achieved then?

Ok one for those remaining PL supporters - how bad does it have to get before he should be sacked? Serious question. I'm interested.
Give him time. He is learning as are the players. It's not his fault that our players only converted 3 of the two dozen chances  his tactics created and the fact that these overpaid twats can't mark a player properly in the penalty area.

Good question Ross and I would say that there is probably enough reason now to sack him.  The question remains though, who comes in next and are they realistically going to do any better with the current squad that just isn't good enough?  Which managers are out there at the minute?

Just like Houllier (who i thought would be a decent manager for us if not for bad health) Lambert has tried to change to many things too quickly. The lack of width has worried me for a while especially with a beast like Benteke leading the line, and this idea of wingbacks is all well and good if you have a well organised defence but time after time our wingbacks leave us exposed. If Sissoko goes to the Geordies when our need is so dire i worry that all my confidence that money is there to be spent will disappear.

I'm in the undecided camp. Probably sat on my own around the fire toasting marshmallows.

If you play them backwards, he's actually saying "Randy give me transfer funds" over and over.

Maybe.

He is responsible for two of the most embarrassing results, three if you count the two-legged semi final, in our history (the other being Chelsea 8-0). We have the worst defence in the league and the lowest amount of goals scored. We have also been in the bottom three more times this season than we have in the past fifteen years. He seems totally unable to motivate the players and provide them with the leadership that they need. We look dead certs for relegation. He has to go. Now.

It seems that the only remaining defence of Lambert is that nobody would trust Lerner to appoint the new manager.  Does anybody think he's actually doing a good job?

The players are getting worse.Time is something we don't have.
