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

[Dave]

That's apples with pears.  Keane was clearly as mad as a mongoose.  You can have discipline and speak your mind without appearing to want to kick everyone's head in.  I manage it at work.

Those three traits that you see as 'only positive' are all things that can be applied to Keane. So if they are 'only positive' then they must have been positive when Keane was here.

And given some of the nonsense that Sherwood came out with during his time at Spurs, I'd be more than happy to not hear him speaking his mind again, and definitely not at Villa.

Anyway, it's all academic as he's next through the door at the home for simpleton managers at Loftus Road.

I do believe tim Sherwood would be a downgrade on lambert if that is humanly possible (which it is).

Going to sleep now anyway.

Zzzz

By the way I don't think the pool of potential managers is as big as you suggest as I think we can discount hefty compensation payouts to poach employed managers nowadays.

It is big enough to make Tim Sherwood look like a bad dea.

I agree with you on most things you post on here, but on this one I reckon you've totallly lost it.

Tim Sherwood? You'd actually choose Tim Sherwood as the best placed man to lead us forward?

Really? Not one of your wind ups?

Rudy.

1. He isn't lambert

Hardly the most difficult of criteria to fulfil.

I don't understand that whole "he's not Lambert" thing.

It goes like this:

"Lambert is fucking useless, he's absolutely hopeless* times a million, by almost every single person on here.

Then shortly after

"I'd go for this bloke, he's got to be better than Lambert"

Surely if we are damning Lambert as useless, then the fact that a manager is considered better than him is largely meaningless. If Lambert is that bad, surely that applies to most managers?

I appreciate the point about Sherwood's win percentage at Spurs (although over a short period of time, and a period on which he repeatedly made himself look a cock) but, assume we fire Lambert, we're then theoretically choosing from a pool of pretty much every manager there is, bar about a dozen in jobs which are beyond us.

Are you really saying that, of all those possibilities, the one you'd focus on is Tim Sherwood? Really?

For me it is all about your comments about his win percentage being over a short period of time and him repeatedly looking like a cock. Most short term managers have a more impressive win percentage than people who have been tested over a longer period. Also, the fact he seemed 'quirky' for want of a better word when things were going reasonably well does not bode well for when he is struggling. Sherwood would be a massive gamble. I reckon Hoddle has thrown a strop at QPR because they are going to appoint someone even more yampi than him.

I can't understand the hype about Tim Sherwood either and really hope he ends up at QPR.

I would have thought Sherwood would be the natural choice for Forest.

I just cannot fathom how sixteen people still think he should keep his job, how low do we have to go how many more negative records have to be set? he is praying for the sack lets help him.

[mr underhill]

to where? The Tower of London?

[Clampy]

Regarding Sherwood, he wasn't really under that much pressure at Spurs but for his first job, he didn't do too badly I suppose. Maybe he's not the answer, I don't know. I just wonder how much worse than Lambert he'd be.

For all the piss taking of Tim Sherwood on this thread he picked up 42 pts from 22 games. A far better record than anything Lambert will ever achieve, another manager like Fat Sam and Pardew who despite the piss taking, results show they are much better than what we have.

Sherwood took over a team which had £110 million spent on them earlier that season and had bedded in. He also knew the players. Parachuting in a new manager with no money to spend and no ability to bring in new players is completely different.
