I fucking hate Lambert.Agree x 100.I'm thoroughly sick of this shit. The embarrassments that are stacking up under his tenure are unbearable. We deserve better than this. He's not going to sack him, though.Lambert has bought into the project, Lerner and Faulkner think the project is viable, and that's the problem.Honestly, it beggars belief. What you need to do is get rid of almost every one of the high earning players. Then, you replace them with kids from the youth team, or players from the lower leagues in this country or selling leagues in Europe.So, we have a manageable wage bill, but we also have a squad choc full of lower leagues players. It's all well and good boasting that a player only cost us 1m or 2m, but too often these are players who have demonstrated exactly why they only cost that much.Still, they persist in this belief that, really, all you need to do is wait for these players to "bed in", for the youngsters to get a bit older, and turn into really good players.It is absolute fucking nonsense. Paying big wages to a player is no guarantee of success, but paying low wages to a squad full of lower league players almost guarantees you'll have no success.Look at some of the absolute dross we've been playing. Luna, FFS, Tonev, who looks utterly out of place. Why is Weimann getting played week in, week out? I just read something on the Evening Mail website where Lambert - this week - was saying Nathan Baker has been "a big player for us this season".Really? It must be a different Nathan Baker he's thinking of, because the one I see has been fucking rubbish, week in, week out.The whole upper echelon of the club are absolutely deluding themselves. Randy can sit in Cleveland, or New York, or wherever he is today (obviously, we know where he won't be), and tell himself that they've hit upon a master plan all he likes, but the evidence is that we are failing even to stand still, we are going backwards.It all takes a certain arrogance - if it was really just a matter of buying kids and waiting for them to click, don't they think *everyone* would be doing this? It hasn't worked, it isn't working now, and it will not work.I just hope that at some point very, very soon, one of them pulls his head out of the fucking sand and does something, because the whole thing is a depressing mess at the moment.I don't give the first shit that we are 11th right now. That's not the point. Look at the gap between us and the arse end of the table, and look at where the on-field momentum suggests we are heading. We've got Arsenal and Liverpool next, two sides who play actual football. Where do we think we are going to be after that?The whole situation is a mess, and the people responsible for it should be ashamed of the laughable disaster they've turned this club into in the last three or four years.

Why did the fat Spanish waiter, ogs, and Martinez not take the Job? Because they knew they'd have nothing to spend and they'd be on a hiding to nothing which is why Mon walked
Quote from: lovejoy on January 04, 2014, 10:10:34 PMI disagree, I think the players are playing their best, they are just not good enough at this level (with the obvious exceptions).I think we've seen enough from most of these players to know that they can play a much better standard of football than they have been this season. We've seen some excellent football from a lot of these players at times, which would suggest that their downturn in form this season is more due to coaching and management than their own innate lack of skills. I'm not saying they're all world beaters, but that i think they could consistently play better than they have been if we had a good manager.

Honestly I dont think they wanted OGS or Martinez. Thats why they never offered them the job. We can discuss whether they were wrong or not but I think they thought McCleish then lambert were the better candidates.
