Theres something about a bloke in a tracksuit and wearing glasses that looks wrong.

Lambert justs looks scruffy on the bench.

What he should do is adopt the Sir Alex hard man style. The black coat, the zip up black jumper. The coat no doubt contains a rubber cosh for intimidating the fourth official....not that he needs that of course...the Gorbals verbals will do nicely.


But Lambert just looks nervous and worried throughout each match.

He needs to exude an air of authority.

It dosen't really matter. TSM and O'dreary were regular suit wearers.

I'd have a bloke wearing a Bernie Clifton style ostrich outfit on the touch line if it meant us staying up. In fact I'd take it even if we went down, at least we would have a laugh.

Great idea. Bernie Cliftons still going strong perhaps we could hire him?

Successive relegations is a distinct possibility.

Crikey, talk about hyperbole.

We haven't even had the first one yet, and you're already predicting the one after?

I am a truly miserable bastard and even I think we can hack it in the Championship.

We won't really need a huge pot to piss in in the championship.

Whilst I am as resigned as anyone to our relegation this season - we've got a championship squad ,and that's where we'll end up - it is a championship squad, not a league one squad, and the two successive relegations thing really is pathetic nonsense.

Yes, it is. I am still clinging on to hope that we will survive this season. Three from four. Possibly five.

With the obvious exception of Benteke and probably N'Zogbia, how many of our our regular starting 11 will be hotly pursued by other premier league teams?

Worse case scenario for me is getting relegated and giving him the chance to get us up again. Sort of thing Blackburn would do. If he keeps us up then i suppose he could justify another go but otherwise he needs to be binned in May.

Spot on, dreadful season and he has to take a big chunk of the blame.

Given the way they've lurched about from one extreme to the other with recent appointments wouldn't we better sticking with someone with a proven record of promotions rather than risk what they might do next?

Rather risk the odds of them making a bad appointment than sticking with a proven one.  They were hardly alone in thinking he'd be okay anyway. As for Lambert's track record, Graham Turner managed a few promotions before and after managing us and you wouldn't have kept him would you?

Difference with Graham Turner is he had never managed in the top league had he? Who do you suggest we get if we get rid of Lambert?

I keep having this conversation. If he takes us down after spending 20 odd million in the summer then his record is as poor as it gets. Nearly anyone with premiership managerial experience would be worth a try and a fair few without.
