Lambert's replacement

[Damo70]

I think he made his Leeds debut at sixteen.

I would even take Curbishley now besides him not being able to pronounce Birmingham - Jesus wept

Indeed. I don't know why it is but we seem to have a collective mindblock when it comes to potential future managers, either that or we don't think we'd be an attractive offer to any half decent manager out there. Anybody would think we pay peanuts rather than one of the best salaries outside the top 4 and a few European giants.

Maybe it's a Brummie thing.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

You could give Gabby the job and he'd still do a better job. Even Stuart Pearce would be an improvement!!!

[mr underhill]

tbh the only sane argument for keeping Lambert is because people like Stuart Pearce are available

Gabby isn't cut out to be a footballer, let alone a manager.

[claret and blue blood]

I like the idea of Prandelli,Villa fan World class manager,available,while we've been messing about with an abortive attempt to sign Ricky Lambert we should have been offering him 5 million quid to keep us up.

Gabby being given the manager's job makes me think of the Simpsons episode in which the eccentric millionaire gives Homer free reign to design the new model car he is going to mass produce.

I heard Howard Hodgson talking to Tom Ross and Ian Taylor this evening and he was saying he was talking to James Nursey today.  Nursey reckons the majority of the fans are still behind the manager?!

Can't Howard Hodgson go a day without namedropping?

Mirror journo being slow on the uptake, you say?

Nursey is mates with Lambert so it's obvious he'll stick up for him. To say the fans are still behind him though is nothing short of a bare faced lie though.

[curiousorange]

When he said he was talking to him, he probably meant he was following his Twitter feed. Nursey came out with that guff and probably regretted it soon after judging by the reaction to it,

It sums up the complete lack of pressure being exterted on  Lambert, by the media and not just the owner and his directors.

Tom Ross actually made the point that the players yesterday looked like they were playing to get the manager sacked, and Tayls just sounded well pissed off about whats happening down there.

It just looks very much like the club is rudderlessly drifting along, and nobody seems either prepared to take control of things.

The players didn't try at Leicester either. That was a feckin disgrace too
