Owlinmad Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Just had a text from a friend in Prestonpans saying Lambert will be appointed shortly. The friend is well connected in Scottish football but I'm not saying this is 100% correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonan8 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Brilliant! Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse. Stop the world, I want to get off! Edited January 1, 2018 by goonan8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand owl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Looking at the odds now I think your friend will be correct. What a huge first 30 days he’s got with the transfer window. He will need to assess the squad very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Given the circumstances and that he kept Wolves and Blackburn up in similar circumstances it’s a sensible choice if so. I think going for a “name” for the sake of it who isn’t used to this situation would be suicidal. That kind of change needed to be made months ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the brief has gradually changed from getting into the play offs to staying in the Championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markowski77 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 After today I honestly don't know what to think anymore..off field appointments and on field performance i was totally against the idea of lambert yesterday/this morning, but the way we are going at present I think we would be lucky to have him, cos I can see a left field yes man heading S6 way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastleigh Owl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If ever there was a situation which needed arresting it is the one we're in at the moment, the sooner he's in place the better. Gives him a free hit this week as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think under the circumstances I would be happy with Lambert. Better than someone from abroad who doesn't have first hand experience of the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s probably one of the more obtainable managers who are used to a scrap. The window is open and needs to be used so there is no more time to waste now.

bigrbuk Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Looks like he's capable of shouting at a few players. Will do for me right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_owl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Wouldn't be my choice but if it was to be him I would be prepared to give him a chance, like every other new appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 If it’s lambert then so be it, he’s certainly experienced enough and knows the league. I feel sorry for him already coming into this toxic situation. On a hiding to nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand owl Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It’s not a terrible appointment by any stretch of the imagination. You have to almost remove two of his jobs from your thinking....Blackburn and Villa. Two clubs massively on the decline before he got there. Wolves are obviously hugely ambitious and had ideas way above lambert and half of the premier league. not my first choice but has experience in managing many players at this level and the premier league.

I think he would be a safe appointment. A known quantity, which is very much what the club needs at this time IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
