The Paul Lambert thread - poll reset after our capitulation to Hull

[peter w]

I wonder if he'll walk if he saw or heard the crowd reaction as he's been largely free of it?

No. He will want the comp that comes with the sack. He will be out of work for sometime before turning up at a bottom six championship team 12 months later.

Or like TSM or DOL he wont work again as a manager

[Chris Jameson]

He's a Reading manager if ever I've seen one, like Agbonlahor is a Palace/Stoke substitute.

[mr underhill]

Reading play better football than us though so possibly not; maybe Blackpool?

[Rotterdam]

I haven't commented on this, but I think we're stuck with him until we find a buyer.
Hopefully the new owner will 'negotiate' a settlement and Lamberk will walk away. Until then, I fear we are stuck with him.

[peter w]

I'm not sure. I think if the sound of the criticism is louder and more sustained, seeing the pressure he must be under internally I think he may decide to go.

On numerous occasions last night our players were looking up for somebody to pass to and there was no one. They literally had no idea what to do. Tactically shocking yet again.

I'd have played Joe Cole last night for that reason.

He could sit in front of the back four.  Holding the ball up, breaking up play and looking for the easy pass. I'd intruct him not to making silly jinking runs but to steady the midfield and keep shape. 

I'd have Cole and Sanchez sitting deep.  With Cleverley and possibly at the top of the midfield. 

Surely it's got to be an improvement.

Told you!

Massive improvement on our midfield until Cole went off. Then we just went to pieces.

Agree with this.  Cole showed more invention than anyone else in our midfield.  I guess Lambert wanted to keep him fresh after not playing much.

I have to say I still don't get the hype surrounding Jack Grealish.  I appreciate hes only young, but hes done nothing so far to suggest hes our great white hope.

One thing I'm certain of is that Lambert won't resign. He would've done it a long time ago if he was going to.

Agree, why would any one walk out on a £4 million pay off?

[curiousorange]

There's only one way he's leaving, and that's if he gets the boot. It goes without saying that that sodding four-year contract is what's going to relegate the club: he won't walk away from it, and Lerner doesn't want to pay it up. In the middle is Aston Villa FC.

It is nothing in comparison to what we will lose if relegated.

[JUAN PABLO]

I'd given him a six mth contract. Keep us up.

Why on Earth would Pulis sign a 6th month contract ?

he would if the wage was good but it wont be

I know that and you know that. I can't figure out why Lerner doesn't know it.

I don't think Pulis would actually take it now.
