The question Mat Kendrick asked:

Q: How disappointed do you think the fans will be after coming out in big numbers again to watch that?
A: Blankety blank


Seems a fair enough question.

There were four in total from Mat throughout the press conference and he ignored them all.

Any idea what the others were dave?

Whilst we need a Jamie Carragher type person, i don't think the man himself is going to leave the club he's played for all his life to get involved in a relegation scrap any time soon.

As for Lambert, i don't like the idea of getting rid of a manager so soon after appointing him, we do need a bit of continuity. Unfortunatley though i can't see us getting the 20 points we need under him.

So are you saying get rid or keep clampy?
Nobody would be calling for his head if he was doing a decent or even average job , we do need continuity but only if its the right man.

Not sure if this has already been asked but does anyone think he was under orders to blank Kendrick after the recent Lerner-bashing in the Mail?

Snub local media at your peril. They will have no mercy now.

Kendrick has always been fairly decent to lambert in his comments - i wonder how he would have reacted to past mail reporters .

I honestly don't know. Something needs to change though and sometimes change is what's needed. If we lose again on tuesday, it may be a case of having to.

I though saints bradford and last night were tipping points - surely a defeat on tuesday will be if we havent already reached it.

Sometimes a change of manager sees a bit of a kickstart with players having to prove themselves and a clean slate - i think we need that impetus - even if only an interim manager on a huge bonus to keep us up.

On Thursday there was a bit of a fuss about tweets made by Ivan Gaskell about stuff PL said about buying players then going down and the financial implications of these transfers, Gaskell orgianlly tweeted this as if PL was talking about Villa he later amended it and said that PL was talking about other clubs. Yesterday Kendrick and the mail printed the story (which is the basis of the Have the club accepted relegation? thread on here) could this be the reason PL blanked him?

Lerner won't do anything, he is completely incompetent.

Whether he was told to or did it off his own back, he's made it look as if he can't handle criticism and left himself open to it now.

Whatever the reason its not acceptable, its part of lamberts job to deal with local media , not their job to agree with everything he does , petulant and sulky.

If someone had written an open letter in the mail to my boss*, saying hire some new staff to work under django or sack him I wouldn't be too happy.


* I don't have a boss, or a team under me, but I am shit at my job.

If Kendrick knew that PL was talking about other clubs yet used this as the basis for his story Kendrick was bullshitting and trying to cause trouble for PL why should PL even acknowledge him?

I quite like Lambchop's new approach to the mail. He may wish to extend it to all the papers in fact. Silence is better than bullshit.
