Paul Lambert (R)

[dave.woodhall]

The sun's shining, it's the weekend and life's far too short to spend time getting worked up about Paul Lambert.

I don’t get it myself, he’s gone. Move on.

When Moyes was interviewed at the end of the season he was basically asked ‘how do you think you’ll get another job after all your failures’ and Lambert got ‘you didn’t have enough time to turn it around’ - he’s paying off journos no doubt. Hopefully that’s him off to league 1 where he belongs.

[Brend'Watkins]

He could probably buy any league 1 side with the amount of paid up contracts he’s had.

It was widely reported that there was a break clause in his contract at the end of this season so I doubt there’s been much of a pay-off.

Even if there was, it’s the Stoke board’s problem. Why the anger?

[Brend'Watkins]

I’m not angry just making the point that Lambert has made a very decent living out of being a poor manager.

Sorry Bren’d, I was referring to the posts on the previous page.

Allardyce, Pardew, Moyes, Megson, Lambert, Pulis, Holloway, Schteve are all in the same bag.  It's the way football is.  Probably add Hughes and Bruce to that list too.  Football is a game of who you know, not what you know.  These wasters (Sorry Brucie), keep showing up but never seem to settle anywhere for too long.  That same roundabout for all of them but I bet they all have far more money that you and me.

I see even QPR have gone with a foreign coach after spending a year in Holloway.

Holborn to Holloway, Holloway to Heathrow, Heathrow to Tokyo, Michiko I love you.

He has already bought a whole league one side.

Unfortunately for us he was supposed to be putting together a Premier League side at the time.

Tee hee. can we start a book on the next mugs to P45 him.

And one by one, they are all dropping into the Championship.

A lot of those, if not all are living on the glory of their success at one club. Allardyce (who I have to say I do rate and think undeservedly lost his jobs at Newcastle, Blackburn and Everton) at Bolton, Pulis at Stoke, Pardew getting West Ham promotion and to a cup final, Lambert with his double promotion and PL survival at Norwich, Hughes at Blackburn and with Wales to an extent. Bruce with his promotions at Small Heath and Hull (yes I know that is two clubs). You could probably throw Gary Monk/Swansea into the mix too. The moral to the story seems to be that if you have succeeded at at least one club you will get a number of chances to repeat the feat no matter how many other clubs you have failed at.
