Let the record show

[Phil from the upper holte]

I said last night (I think) I kind of blacked out for a while (either that or it was numbness) when we get relegated we'll look back on this and think well that's where we went wrong! NO defenders signed when we are defensively bollocks, No leaders in the team and none signed, I just hope the last few months pass by less painful than the first few

[Phil from the upper holte]

I just cannot express as angry as I am

I have one question to lambert - why didnt spent all of the money available to you?

Because either;

A) He did, he had virtually no budget to speak of - 4/5 million maybe.

B) Player and Agents knew we were in trouble so fees and salaries go up, players don't want to be tarred with a relegated side.

You can vent all you like at Lambert but you're missing the real issue.  The dismantling of the club over the last 3 years will finally lead to our relegation.  Poor managerial choices, selling your best players, lack of re-investment, lack of a clear plan for the Club, this is why we are where we are this today.

So you complain about Lambert if you like, sure he has his shortcomings, but I can't in all honesty think of many Managers that with this squad and this level of investment that would do much better.

The problem at our Club is Faulkner and Lerner and until they leave I can't see us really improving.

The problem is all three- they all need to go but right now the only hope of survival is booting lambert out!
Lerner will surely look to sell up in the summer .
Lambert should have gone after the Southampton game - tactics, selections and formations are a joke .
Lerner has presided over this  fiasco and of course he should go - he has put a lot of cash into the club but his decision making is shocking - as for faulkner hes just a useless yesman !

All 3 need to fuck off but it will take time to sell- there is no excuse for keeping lambert whatsoever!

Just a thought...

do you think Lambert got Dawkins in as a way of highlighting the fact he had next to nothing to spend, therefore deflecting the fans frustrations to Lerner and Faulkner as opposed to himself? A little like how Lerner appointed TSM to deflect the frustration away from him when he wanted to cost cut

Yep I think that might be right. 

There's the game going on within the club now, has been for the last fortnight if you read the quotes, read between the lines. 

Everyones positioning themselves to avoid blame, PR men claiming Randy has always backed his Managers financially whilst the day before Lambert's saying we can't really afford anybody.  Lambert's getting his alibi in for his next job interview whilst Lerner is going to blame the Manager who ,as they like to point out, was the fans choice all along.

Let the record show.........That Risso and Drummond cannot quite agree on fucking anything, on any thread. They do make me chuckle. 

I've just apologised.  Don't want us to turn into the new Eastie and Clampy show!

You mean the Clampy and Eastie show?

Yes they make myself and clampy look like soulmates by comparison
He got it right the right time clamps

Correct me if I am wrong by all means but didnt Lambert say about three weeks ago. "Randy doesnt want any loan players".

Which means either Lerner is a liar or Lambert is.

Who scouted this MLS player was it Henke ?

This disastrous regime has brought our historic club to its knees.

Simon Dawkins sounds like a Blue Peter presenter!

On a positive note and Im struggling here. Darren Bent is still here and Dawkins is only on loan to the end of the season.

Lambert is now probably the worst manager in our clubs history.

Totally incomprehensibly and totally gutless.

It doesn't mean anyone's a liar. They probably didn't want any loan players but perhaps they didn't have much option and the ones they wanted to buy didn't come to fruition.

We could of course have spunked a commitment of £32m to sign Samba like QPR did. I've no doubt he wasn't what they wanted but nobody was prepared to release other players.

So you either have to sign an unexperienced Championship player or a hugely overpaid mercenary?

Shit, there was me thinking there was something in between.

Now Drummond. What's so difficult to understand about that?

Give me some examples. Who else managed to sign the type of player we were looking for?

In January, the clubs want massive money for players or they won't sell. Look at what has been spunked on players that really aren't that good. What's the point in doing what we've always done?

[eastie]

Paul sharner for starters would have been a great loan.

How about going out and getting a centreback on loan? Are there none out there?

[Greg N'Ash]

I'm hoping there's still a chance Lerner genuinely believes that Lambert can keep us up, and when reality sinks in, he'll panic and appoint someone else, preferably with us  not totally cut adrift at the bottom. I realise that would mean Randy being far more of a fuckwitt than even his biggest detractors credited him with, but we have to hope.

The deliberately letting us go down scenario still doesn't ring true to me. Its just daft unless Lerner likes losing a fortune.

[saunders_heroes]

Spot on. Perhaps he wasn't "young and hungry" enough

[Phil from the upper holte]

I think some of our lads must be fucking starving

[danlanza]

Off to work. Would be fun by the time i get back if we could have Risso, Drummond, eastie and Clampy all going for each others throats in a furious debate on our current plight. We could sell bloody tickets for that one. Happy, shiny people ;
