Lambert gone

[myf]

Does anyone have the figures for his net spending. Lots of people referring to his financial restrictions and curious to understand how it compares to other clubs in recent years

I can't believe this spin from some jounos stating that Lambert offered to be sacked due to the financial restrictions and he warned Lerner we would be relegated. This the same Lambert who said it was the strongest squad he had worked with, and if you look at it compared to his Norwich squad it is streets ahead. He did a very poor job this season.

There are absolutely no excuses for him. They wore thin over a year ago to be honest. Scoring 12 goals this season probably ranks as his greatest failure. It's been awful, and all the signs were there last season when we struggled for goals.

Teams with significantly lower budgets are doing much better than we are. Lambert is trying to spin his way out of looking like he was bobbins.

I see he was apparently in Scotland, so couldn't be told face to face on Wednesday, and the players had till Friday off! That explains much

A good coaching team is so vital.

For fuck's sake, is this bloke never off the bloody telly?

Bollocks.

And TalkSport now.

Oh great. Now everyone is going to think we're all Yam Yams.

You should be so lucky.

I couldn't work out how to make the subtitles come on the telly, so didn't understand a word

It sounded to me like "yamyamyam faggits and pays hairy scratchings we ay brummies" repeated on a loop.

I'd like these figures too. Lambert might have been asked to lower the wage bill, but he WAS backed with transfer money. I can't understand why the media keep telling us he had little to spend.

It was 8th highest.

Lambert gone

And this is my first post- after years of lurking.

Thank you to the Gods That Be.

We couldn't make the Norwich game, so we weren't among the happy throng who sang his name - but if we had been, we would have sung it out as well.

We can all be wrong along Life, and I don't wish Paul any ill-will.
My feeling is that Paul was an "internal-politics" guy..to put it crudely - a brown-nose.
Stuck very close to Randy and praised him at every turn.

My hero manager has always been Clough, and he treated owners and Directors with the contempt their ignorance deserved.

Paul, to me, was the extreme opposite of Brian Clough, and I felt a few doubts within a couple of months - why did he keep praising Mr Lerner? What for ?

Then he starts calling him 'Randy' in the pressers, then he reverts to "owner", then back to 'Randy'- but always with praise for him.

OK..I bear no ill-will to Paul Lambert, he was a man of straw, who changed opinions, tactics and beliefs with the wind.
But his limited 'nous' has dropped us in it - big time.

As has Mr Narrative and Mr Lerner.

I won't post much, and this is basically to say hello.

When I heard the news I did a little dance!

Lurk lurk lurk

[N'ZMAV]

that is all

[mr underhill]

precisely; no need to feel sorry for Paul, he's the class dunce who's got a very big last laugh with squillions in the bank.

Ooh formatting

I'd feel a lot more sympathy for the multi-millionaire Paul Lambert if he admitted any of this clusterfuck was his fault.

I have just been on holiday for a short 4 day break with no access to the internet.

Ordinarily I would have tried to get online to check the result of Tuesday's match, but the way things have been this season I really didn't care and happily avoided hearing the result.

So I log in this morning to check the score and am absolutely gobsmacked that he has been sacked!

I thought it would never happen!

This is great news and things can only get better from here.
