Lerner is not going to sack him.

He'll probably be on the phone to him tonight, telling him not to worry, everything is ok.

What needs to happen is collectively, they need to wake the fuck up and realise that this cheap dross approach is not working.
You're absolutely right, but why is that Randy's view?  Why is he apparently of the view that nothing needs doing?

The club is bobbing along and not costing him a fortune any more, which I suspect is the main concern.

He should have bought a Skoda instead.

Sounds like a riveting second half.

How can we accept a manager that deliberately chooses to come out from the FA cup?

One of our goalscorers scored at Carrow Rd to put Fulham 1 up!!!
must have bounced in off his arse cos he's crap
I wish we could have one that bounces in off someone's arse!
Unfortunately from 40 yards out that becomes incredibly difficult.
Another reason why we should have re-signed Barry.

Barry is exactly what we need at the moment... Along with Paul McGrath and Merse. They'd still stand head and shoulders above that shambles!  :(

I'm sure we couldn't have afforded his wages in any case.

Still, don't worry, because all we have to do is sit back and wait for our policy of signing shit, lower league players on cheapo wages to start to pay dividends, just like it always has done in the past when a club does that.

It never arose as Lambert never wanted him!

Signing Bent saved Houllier's job. I reckon the only thing that'll save Lambert is a recognisable signing too.

You mean a footballer?

Possibly not a 14 year old playing for FC Bicycle Clip in the Czech third division, either.
I heard that FC Bicycle Clip are a very strong team. Paul Lambert really likes them! careful what you wish for!

Well, the other thing is that Clunge FC from the Swiss second division are already in for him, and we can't compete with their wages.

I think Clunge will start flapping if we stick our noses in.

His constant sticking with Weimann is baffling to say the very least.

If that's how he feels about it I can't understand why he isn't taking steps to find potential buyers.  Maybe he is, who knows.

I hear we're after a promising young player called Bob Inz. He'd apparently be a marked improvement over most of our players too.

We're also sniffing around Mehdi Ocre, but he's a bit out of our price range.

It's because in terms of options we have barely any.

I bet Randy is the kind of guy that nips to the toilet when it's his round. :)

Tell Lambert to stop fannying around and sign him!

Albrighton seems to be doing well- how long before Bowery replaces him?
