He was well regarded at the time by most analysts and there were times when many of us thought he would move the club forward, but it was not to be.In the end, by his own admission, he was presiding over a deleveraging operation at the behest of Randy Lerner and mumbling incessant gobbledygook, to our justified chagrin.He doesn't deserve some of the shit he gets on here IMO. Manager over a awful ownership, did the best he did but nowhere near good enough. It happens

A coach/manager must have ruthless belief and total self confidence. Once they compromise that they are toast as did Lambert.

Manager over a awful ownership, did the best he did but nowhere near good enough. It happensA young and hungry (ha!) manager keen to really make a mark would have worked within the limitations and still not delivered a side as dull and unimaginative as that. Many other managers did. How much did Rodgers have to spend at Swansea, Martinez at Wigan and so on and so forth. Continuous relegation scraps were not inevitable with (a) the side he inherited and (b) the money he had to spend.
Just read that he has won 3 out of 27 matches there, so unlikely. That would mean back to back relegations for Lambert.

How many pay-offs has he had?
