To be fair, I think Given ruffled the least feathers - he was just too old and on too much money.

That's one way to trim the playing staff wage bill.

Ha ha. Absolutely crazy.

Though I've no problem whatsoever with Shay. Top pro, and if he's started his badges already, why not? Get him back on the bench too.

This is very very odd, they are Lambert's two most trusted side kicks. Also promoting Given to a coach is very very strange.

Clearly though, things are a mess. This is the beginning of the end. It seems pretty obvious the players aren't happy. Lamberts team would appear to have lost the dressing room. How much love is left for Lambert himself among the players remains to be seen, but if we're putting 2 and 2 together, it would appear that given what's come out from himself and the club this past week, he's a dead man walking. "There's stuff you don't see." Well I guess we're seeing some of that now.
