Should this be true it'll be a namby-pamby 'support' meeting. There will be no sacking, it's not Lerners style.

Any sacking he would skulk away from and leave the dirty work to faulkner.
As mcleish said he was very supportive and never gave him any cause to worry , mcleish went in expecting to discuss transfer budgets only for faulkner to tell him pack your bags.

Can't they skype, email, talk on the phone?

Costs a fortune to phone the US and we haven't paid our internet bill for the last six months.

...and our fax machine is jiggered

They're having a whipround for a new ribbon as we speak.

It's all speculation that alleged money promised to Lambert has been pulled. Wasn't there talk from Pelty or some, supposedly authoritative source in August that Lambert actively chose to bring in lower wage earners from lower league sides? I think the Dempsey bid proved that there was scope for leeway in making a big signing (or more, who knows?).

Lambert could well have had targets lined-up for this window but maybe they've knocked him back after seeing our form utterly collapse in the last five weeks.  Maybe the clubs in question have also raised their prices knowing we're desperate and thus we don't want to be made mugs of.
Lambert has praised Lerner a number of times recently unprompted. He spoke to MON before taking the job - presumably O'Neill had plenty of good things to say about Lerner as well as not so good.

We're all just looking for someone to blame at the moment and it's clearly a combination of an owner who doesn't seem sure of himself in this business, a manager clearly still learning at the the biggest job of his management career and a host of players who are suffering from a clear lack of belief and confidence.

He's also busy looking for Lerner's childhood teddy bear, Bobo.

Maybe when Lambert gets there Lerner will just release the hounds

Statement tomorrow AM at 10:00 apparently.

Interesting. Imagine it will be backing Lambert.

True. I doubt it'll be new signings! I think it might be a re-statement of the General's leaked comments.

Sorry mate, what leaked comments?
Have I missed anything important or is it the usual stuff?

Entirely usual I'm afraid. There were about as surprising as the sun rising.
