I'm sure no one will lose sleep over this shocking revelation, but the posts I'm least likely to read are those mega-quotathon ones. I quote other posts at times, most of us do, but as soon as posts seem like some kind of long vertical pattern, my interest in reading them wanes.

Agreed

Seconded.

Me too.

Absolutely no chance is Guzan a Lambert signing.
Yes I agree with you and now can I ask you to join me in convincing some ignorant people out there who are convinced that the sun will rise from the east tomorrow morning?

We were discussing if Lambert should stay if he took us down so your point is er pointless

To avoid quote-athon, the two names you mentioned would have inferior records to Lambert if he got the boot now, which is what happened to them in their respective jobs.

They would also be the kind of names in the frame to take over should we find ourselves in the Championship.

Sacking another manager for the sake of appointing at best, like for like, seems pointless and costly as we haven't got a pot to piss in, and shit players.

It wouldn't be like for like. In the case of RDM and Adkins it would be bringing in managers to replace someone who'd have been our worse manager in a couple of generations. His record would stink to high heaven. I say again, his record would be on a par or worse than Billy McNeill - did you want to keep him?

It's not like Lambert's football was inspiring with Norwich, it was a similar brand of British efficiency to that employed by O'Neill, and this season the football has mostly been dire.  I'd get a caretaker in until the end of the season, then try and get a more progressive sort like Poyet in.

Spot on. I'd even give the job to John Gregory for few months. Might give us a fighting chance of staying up, then sort the mess out in the summer.

Yes I know and it's such a shame as I have something very valid to say on this topic.

Don't say anything rude about Liz just because she's not looking!

I can't stand Gregory but you're right. Someone who can inspire confidence in the players, or if not scare the shit out of them is what we need. At the moment we've got a charisma bypass in the hotseat blindly mumbling his way through press conferences repeating the same 3 sentances after each set-back.

I just don't get his tatics ...

Bradford concede goal ok lets lump on every forward and goal hang

Milwall lost 2 strikers who had 18 goals so lets play 5 at back leaving us with a man down in midfield and evidently we just passed sideways or Given lumped it forward.
