You'd hope so... but this is Marcus Evans sorting the contract... | |

He talks long term however and seems enthusiastic about all aspects of itfc. So who knows - certainly not the fans. | |

i’m Not sure it would do his reputation any good to bail out if we get relegated, especially as he will have had 2/3rds of the season and a transfer window (Ok, maybe no money) to put things right. Contrast that with regarding Town as a long term project, and then fixing it successfully, and the kudos that would bring (I am an optimist......) | | | |

But his remit and method is to inject positivity and enthusiasm back into the club. I wouldn't have expected him to give the slightest hint - verbal or non verbal, at this point that he might only be here for a few months. That would completely counter productive to what he's trying to achieve. It's just that I hear so many saying with such conviction and certainty that he wont stick around if we get relegated that I just wondered if I'd missed something and that maybe he was only contracted up to the end of the season of something silly. I hope he's on a healthy bonus to keep us up and that there is no get out clause. | |

My thinking was along those lines as well, was talking about it with someone after the game last night. If we were to be relegated and he were to move on how high would his stock be after failing in two fire-fighting jobs here and at Stoke? Would he get another Championship club? I'm not sure he would. I've also got the impression that he sees this as a long-term job and might well be prepared to take the drop and then rebuild from there. But hopefully it won't come to that. | | | |

I hear a lot about Paul Lambert leaving if we don't stay up on 14:55 - Nov 29 with 5403 views | Monkey | To be honest it may be better for him to leave. If the squad and manager lose a lost of games and get relegated then they will go in to next season with the same players and manager and a mentality of losing most weeks. It will be hard to go from that to pushing for promotion. Similarly though if Lambert starts grinding out wins and Town go down fighting then we should try and keep him. | |

We are not getting out of this Phil..... They said on the radio that no club in the history of the championship had escaped relegation with 11 points after 17 games - let alone that we have now played 19. We cant beat Reading, Preston, Bristol. What chance against the forests etc.... But I do hope Lambert will stick it out. | |

I'd say he will stick around if we get relegated. Why wouldn't he? Plus, we have just taken Jimmy Walker from Sunderland as goalkeeping coach. I doubt he'd have moved all the way down to Ipswich is it may only be for six months. | |

He'd be the perfect man to get us back to the Championship. Look what he did at Norwich (and Colchester). | |

Our only hope is to be within 5 points of 21st place on January 1st. Get reinforcements in and hope, like QPR this season, they make a quick impact. Even then it'll take a hell of a turnaround. | |

It has happened from that position after 17 games, Watford in 1990/91 which I think is the greatest escape from this position but even they'd made it to 12 after 19. We are obviously very much up against it - certainly need to pick up a couple of wins in December before the January additions - but I do think the bar is going to be lower in terms of points required this season than has usually been the case with the division having a 'rump' of struggling sides a little way off the middle of the table. At the moment from the bottom there's us, then a gap, then four teams but I can also see Brentford and Rotherham also in contention for bottom three spots. https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-two/30-november-1990/ https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-two/07-december-1990/ | | | |

Walker lives in Peterborough or somewhere like that - part of the reason he took the ITFC job was because the commute to the North-East was too much. | |

It may be they were being literal with the "championship" as opposed to division 1. But even with your analysis we are going back nearly 30 years to find 1 team that did it - with a point more than we have now. I just dont see it. We look shot. Its taking massive efforts to win a single game. Every team that turns up believes they are better than us. Look at Bristol. They totally played like they would break us down and believed it. We will very soon have to acknowledge it and plan for the situation so we try and hit div 1 as prepared as we can be. I just hope Lambert is up for that scenario and this is the start of a rebuild. | |
