The thing that worried me most about Lamberts comments.. 11:25 - Aug 2 with 2878 viewsActionMan

is that when he was asked if we had enough to go up, he said no. That's not only a morale killer for the supporters but the players also surely? It's certainly different to hear a manager criticize Evans this much, but not much different from what Keane said about Evans and his staff in his book when it came to the mess around transfers and that was what, 10 years ago now.

Our morale isn't his concern. From what players have said, he's made it clear to them that he expects promotion.

The timing of that from Lambert is awful. A previous manager was slaughtered for suggesting that we might not be the best and mid table might be acceptable, that was in a higher league.

It's the perfect message to send the owner who may be expecting an instant return on little investment.

It's also a challenge to the players. Personally I'd think right mate I'll show you.

i was looking forward to the season - that didn't last long. b*gger.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Look forward to it anyway, lowers. Could well win tomorrow! I'm still hopeful :)

Agreed it was a massive downer from Lambo via Evans but we've all known this for yonks, haven't we?

I don't doubt that is what he has said to the players but I bet that was back when he thought he was going to be given the money to buy the three players he obviously thinks we need . Evans has now slammed that door shut and we start the season with club turmoil instead of one full of hope. Has made me very sad

I don't know if they will feel the same way after hearing that conference though - he seems totally dejected and doesn't seem to care about pointing out that his boss is at fault. If saw that i'd feel pretty flat as a player. The truth is Evans needn't have broken the bank with the targets -it seems that Lambert had identified affordable players he wanted and we've not got them in and we've been left with the situation he stated in the video above.

but he seemed so down that it's not something that's sustainable. perhaps he is trying to call evans' bluff. but i can't see his staying much longer otherwise.

Turmoil? Give over. Bury are in turmoil. Bolton are in turmoil. We're starting the season as one of the strongest sides in the division, the manager and fans would just be happier if we had a couple more faces through the door.

He's trying to pressure ME to get signings i'd have thought. Fair enough, every manager thinks they are 2 or 3 signings away from a great team.

The reality is we have a top 6 budget and probably a top 6 squad. If ME has told PL it's promotion or he's out that seems unfair without further funds, if he's happy for PL to rebuild then PL has to accept it's a longer project and he'll have to make-do and coach what he's got.

I doubt the players even watch the press conference.

He is perhaps just covering his own back in case we don’t do well.

Let’s face it, nice comments about the supporters aside, he’s done a pretty crap job here thus far

But, even within the 25 minutes of the presser you saw PL go from gloomy, sullen even, to joshing about selecting from the under 4s by the end. As he himself says,the football gets him going. The players will not be seeing that despondent Lambert on the touchline.

How much more evidence do you need to see that Evans has destroyed everything that was Ipswich Town. What is left now bears no relation to what it was when he took over. The club has been gutted and filleted and for what purpose??

True. If Lambert jumps ship then I'd really lose faith. Despite what some people say about him, I reckon he's the man for the job.

Let's hope his frustration is temporary and we're able to bring a few more bodies in over the next short while.

When he took over we had no money to buy players either, and nobody to cover our losses either.

Don't think it's a problem.

He's told the players, we're out to get promoted. He'll be thinking we can get promotion.

I think he's just trying to light a fire under Evans' backside, and make him realise that he's got to play his part as well. I don't think Lambert is actually thinking we're definitely not going to get promoted

It shouldn't be a "morale killer" for any player worth their salt. If I heard that as a player, I'd see it as a challenge & be right up for it, "fight the good fight" etc.

And if I were PL, I'd have video clips of Jim Magilton & team in the PO semis v. Bolton playing on a loop pre season & periodically throughout.

The managers of the top 6 Prem clubs say the same every season. Miracle to win the league, can't possible win the quadruple, miracle to finish top 4 etc etc.

It amazes me that people think he is saying the same thing to the players. Woolf and another one I forget both said he wants to win the league. He's taking pressure off them and putting it on Evans. Two birds, one stone. I'm sure they have been told to ignore the press conferences and just listen to what he says to them in private.

If it were just taking the pressure of his players, then his acting skills are better than I'd give him credit for. Initially, there spoke one despondent guy.

Oh i'm sure he is. He doesn't even have the basics required to do the job. I just think he'll be telling his players to ignore his comments in press conferences and that they are good enough, but just need some experienced back up.
