Lambert in or out? Poll reset with majority 'in', 7th May

[Clampy]

I would expect there will be managers on the continent who probably fancy a crack at managing in england - ralf rangnick would be my choice personally but of course attracting a manager in the premier league would probably be far easier than if we were in the championship- it depends what division we are in as to who we could possibly attract.

There is  no point sacking lambert this late in the day, if it was going to happen it should have been a month ago.

Foreign managers are no good without having loads of money made available to them.

In fairness Laudrup has done well without spending much but otherwise good point.

Tactical awareness, fluid footballing formations, varying styles of play and knowledge of european transfer markets can be useful - as of course can money - i wonder where we would be if we had appointed laudrup and swansea had appointed lambert?

[Drummond]

Probably no better off; Laudrup was a continuation of a theme in Martinez and Rodgers before him. We've chopped, changed and signed a bunch of players that seemingly couldn't play football and certainly not together.

Two totally different jobs, and the first sentence you could attribute our manager.

Tactical awareness- are you sure?

[Risso]

Tactical awareness?  Paul Lambert?  Hahahahahahahahahahahaha etc.

[LeeB]

You can be aware of something without being able to make it work.

Tactics are not some kind of computer game power up you just press and hey presto, or else any twat could do it.

He got it wrong, and he's got it right, but basically the players we've had haven't been good enough.

TSM was given his marching orders for nearly sending us down and was replaced by PL who could go one better and actually achieve it. If so, will he go? Both he and TSM have form for taking sides up from the Championship I know, but should Lambert get another opportunity to put things right?

[Greg N'Ash]

I'm sure Lambert is aware of tactics in the same way i'm aware of quantum Physics.

No,he should not!

What about Bert Van Marwijk if we're going continental.  Flopped in the last Euros of course, but did very well before that, and was a success at club level.  Was rumoured to be earning a relative pittance as Dutch international manager.

Another decent shout , if we survive , if relegated it will be hard to attract a decent manager.

There are few British managers who are successful over time - too many go the way of jewell, dowie, brown, coyle , etc in getting a team up and then floundering after a year in the top flight - i bracket lambert in that group.

[mr underhill]

isn't Gandalf younger than Bert?

At last! A credible, although unlikely, option.

Knowing our luck though, he'd turn out to be the a dutch version of Steve McLaren.

I suppose all that studying has left you little time to get to the match.
