What duration of contract is Paul Lambert on? Perhaps someone should look at him being the next one to sign an improved one.

Might be a tad too early to look at that. Benteke clearly exceeded expectations last year, but did Lambert? Certainly it wasn't all bad, and astute signings like Benteke, Lowton and Westwood were clearly in the plus column. But defensively we were as bad at the end of the season as we were at the start, and that period around Christmas and New Year was as bad as anything in the club's recent history. Some of the results were the worst in the club's history, in fact. Personally I'd hold fire until Nov/ Dec, see how we're shaping up. If lessons have been heeded from last year and the new signings are blending in nicely, there should be no point in delaying the offer of a new deal. If we act too prematurely though, the risk is that we face another big pay off when the time comes to make a change.
