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

Anybody know what the little genius has spent since he's been at Sunderland?

Net: 18,350,000

He spent HOW MUCH on a net!?

It was a British net though.

Interesting that on the last 6 away games we are in the top 10 form guide but at home we are 19th having lost 5 of the last 6 - it will be our run in at villa park that will make or break our season - a win on Saturday would be fantastic.

... and, being 19th in the home-games table, do you think we'll achieve it? QPR's away form is pretty much a mirror of our home form.
The last time we played a team with a similar away form (WetSpam) we did okay, but the force is with QPR and it'll be a jittery old game.

On the subject of him, probably worth mentioning Matt Law's piece in The Mirror: http://t.co/hu48BdlLSA

In still. We won't go down.

This time next year we could be comfortably mid-table. How exciting would that be? Expectations nicely managed to almost less than zero by the boys in the back of the shop.

Everything means less than zero, Ron.  Nonetheless, I agree with you.

Its too late to get rid of him now but to be honest I have lost all faith in him.
He has had so many opportunities to just get the basics right so that at the very least we weren't involved in a relegation battle and he has failed dismally!
Having said that keep him as I am fed up of paying managers off for failure!
We can't lose by keeping him now as most of our aspirations are finished, our sole aspiration is survival in whatever league we end up in!

Anyone know where we are on a current form league table? And how it compares to those around us?

12th.

So looking at that we're averaging just above a 1 point a game. That would take us to 36or37. Enough? Not enough with our goal difference,

But still more than five points between now and the end of the season, which is what people took issue with.

It won't be cast far and wide though.

why would you want to keep a manager who had just relegated the club? I'm sorry but I just don't understand the cultre of rewarding failure in any profession and football should be no different. i can't believe, after a round of compensation payments that would pay off some third world countries' national debt, that Lambert does not have a clause in his contract giving the club the right to terminate his contract if the club are relegated. With our track record it would be madness not to insert such a clause.

No other manager at no other club gets one.

Didnt Mcleish have one in his Birmingham Contract and his Money Halved with them from 1m to 500k then we offered him 2m?

Good article. And like MON, Moyes is respected by media and fans but doesn't seem to have that 'X factor' that the top clubs look for. I also wondered how he was going to move anywhere other than down or sideways when he left us. Sunderland always looked a sideways move as they had publicly stated a tightening of the belt after the Roy Keane years.

[Drummond]

We seem to be playing some nice, passing football don't we?......

[Rancid custard]

I always said Keep him, but there have been some shit your pants worrying times so far. I think the deals he does in the summer will be the thing that makes or breaks my long term opinion. A quality centre half, an outright winger, a left back and a versatile midfielder.

[eastie]

The last few games have shown promise, it took him a long time to work out the best formation and players to fit that formation but the last 6 games or so have been encouraging .

There are some decent players who will get better as time goes on and the addition of 3 experienced quality players could see us comfortably in mid table and pushing for a top 10 place next season - with young players confidence is vital and winning breeds confidence.
