I'm done with Lambert, doesn't seem to have a plan be and looks lost at times. A risk that didn't pay off, I don't hate him, just not right for our great club.  time to get someone with a bit of football nous on the board and a more tactically aware manager.


I wonder if its time to go down the director of football route with an experienced man and a younger team coach under him .
In a way its sad houllier had health issues as I felt he would have made a good director of football but wasnt the man to be in charge of coaching.

Agree with that, i think it is time to try it. Can't really be any worse than the dross we are being served up.  Houllier would have been a great shout for that role, shame about his health.

I've been wondering about a DOF too eastie.

I just think we are being left behind, on the pitch and off it. Our scouting has improved considerably, but we are still left with slim picking compared to the players recruited by the likes of Swansea, Newcastle and Southampton.

As for the football we play, the less said the better.

Understand the anger but think it through, Lambert if he has any sense would have targets already lined up whereas any new manager would have to start from scratch, lets wait until we see who he brings in, if its more of the inexperienced triers then he has lost me.

What a frightening thought, Lambert has identified targets.  Where are they Scunthorpe reserves?  Luton Town U21s?  He's surrounded by dross, he'll continue to surround himself with dross.

Randy took a massive gamble when he left TSM in charge and he got away with it, but only just. Surely he won't roll the dice again.

He did last January/February.

Absolutely. I'm convinced that Lerner won't act again even if we get relegated. He will continue to play the absentee landlord.

'He's a tight-ass! He's a sadist!'

He's neither. He just isn't interested.

I was continuing the Devils Advocate quoting.

To get zero points out of Fulham, Stoke and Palace is pathetic. The only half-decent players left are the ones he inherited. He's wrecked the club. OUT!!

If we're keeping Mr Mumbles I would really like to see a DOF be instated to sort out the transfers which Lambert has made a tit of this summer and also to remind Lambert how to make substitutions, coach players and set the tactics. I mean a new manager would be ideal and sort all these problems out instantly but a DOF is a good option.

DOF - I can only think of Walter Smith as a short term punt.

Now, I know we're all entitled to our views and all that, and I'm certainly not a mod laying down the law because obviously there should be no such law, but why do some have to be so personally insulting to the bloke? N'Zimidy, why do you call him 'Mr. Mumbles' when he grew up in rougher part of the world than you could believe where they spoke a certain way, which is why he talks like he does? You can criticise him all you like and everything is fair game, but such personal vitriol is, to my mind, hateful, mean-spirited and totally the opposite of what I believe our club stands for. It's only football and he's doing his best, for God's sake, and even if that best isn't good enough that's no reason to hate on him so much. It was out of order for McLeish and it's out of order now.
