Lambert's replacement

[Holte L2]

On gauging your feedback, I'm guessing that's a unanimous no to MON retiring??

No, as said on another thread, I don't think the return (assuming that's what you meant) would necessarily be a bad thing, but only on a deal till May.

After all, the bloke owes us one doesn't he?

My thoughts too. Come back, save us and leave the reigns for a Martin Laursen revolution (think I've been playing too much Football Manager).

Has Pat Murphy been on the Radio to tell us what he understands yet?

Ha ha

You know, we mist a trick when Pullis was on the market.

He's no football purist ( is he?? ) but can manage a team on a budget of SFA and I think he can attract players as well as get the most out of those he has in his squad.

We need a motivator more than anything - mumble mumble mumble.

I fear we are stuck with Lambert and even if the worst happened I do not think he might go then.

The more I think about it the more I think Lambert will be gone within the next seven days.
If we have to bring in Sherwood, so be it, providing it's only until the end of the season. Offer him a big bonus for keeping us up, shake his hand and thank him. We can then focus on bringing in a real leader but right now it's all about survival, nothing else, which is why I'm sure Fox is looking for somebody with PL experience.

I was hoping he could keep us up and move aside for Klopp. Had a dodgy season that should put the top four off his tracks for a while. Fancies a go in England too - where else could he realistically go?

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?!

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.

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.

I made sure that I tweeted Nursey last night asking if he still felt the same.

According to SSN, Laudrup has ruled out taking over the Manager's job at QPR....

[cdbearsfan]

He's ruled out taking the manager's job anywhere until the Summer.

[Holte L2]

For what it's worth. My dad just drove past Bodymoor Heath and said 'all of the lights, are still on.'

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's ruled out taking the manager's job anywhere until the Summer.

Good. He's not the solution, not now or even in the summer.

Seconded. Swansea fucked him off when teams wised up to his limited tactics. The slightest sign off success and his agent started touting him for other jobs.

Larsen and Mellberg together again would be nice.

Thankfully it ain't going to happen but on the evidence of his exploits at Sunderland and Ireland thus far, MON is finished as a competent manager.

I can understand Fox's thinking re keeping Lambert until the summer when the pool of new managers is a lot better. But last night confirmed for sure that the players have lost faith in the manager, confidence is at rock bottom and honestly there must be a unanimous view across players, fans, management and board that we are gone if Lambert stays.

Better off rolling the dice with Sherwood on an 18 month contract.

With the players we have we should be nowhere near relegation. Lambert has actually assembled a decent squad on his budget especially going on our bench last night. But as Forest, Newcastle, Leeds and other teams have proved you are never too good to go down if the wrong man is in charge

[PaulWinch again]

Frankly it is better rolling the dice on virtually anyone.

To keep us up Neil Lennon....bellend, but would be my choice at this point in time.

Not that it is going to happen, but if Lambert went then I think we probably not attract someone currently in a job.
