I'm all for supporting Blue Action and appreciate their work but the Lambo thing isn't staying is it? Bring it back at the end if season for a laugh but can we just chalk that one off as a bit a of a miss and move on?

The only reason mick signed them was because of Jewell signed Cresswell and developed Wickham. So the only reason we're here is because of Jewell. So well done Jewell


That logic would be sound, if it was factual.

There are enough negatives abound with us being down here and losing even more money as is, ground on our former rivals and the like without Fishers doing this sort of caper.

Lambert offers stability and the closest thing to MM we've had under Evans. He's got to back it up over 2 or 3 seasons now, and will need the support to do it.

But it's undeniable that had MM not sold Mings, not built his initial squad with bosmans like Berra and Skuse and used the Mings money to maintain it, that whole chain of sales and clauses which came in this summer would not have happened.

We might draw in £1-2m extra from the feelgood of right now if it continues but we are already £7m down on TV money alone. It's not sustainable to rely on top ups and extra sales of Bovril either way.

Financially we are going to have to tread a fine line whilst getting out of the league. When we go back up we are going to be in a position we're used to seeing Rotherham, Burton, Bolton, Wigan et al. in, the only good thing might be we time it as a Derby or Sheff Weds come tumbling down and the division levels out a bit more.

The only reason Jewell was able to develop Wickham is because Keane sold Rhodes and allowed Jewell to focus on Wickham. So well done Keane.


Not having that.

The line has to be drawn somewhere.

The transfer market is completely different now to when we signed Skuse and Berra on a free. There's much more money around thee days and those free transfers don't really exist anymore.

Mick done a great job for 3 or so years before completely losing the plot and destroying the atmosphere around the club and completely disengaging the fans with his negativity. He set the wheels in motion and then Hurst completely destroyed us.

Lamberts come in and been a breath of fresh air and is the complete opposite to Mick in that respect. Getting the fans onside plays a massive part in a teams success. That shouldn't, in anyway, be taken for granted.

MM shrewd signings are the only reason we have the squad we have, if it wasn’t for waggy, Garner, Mings, Webster, ME would not be considering dropping 500k on a right back or paying Judge and Norwood top dollar in league 1. This still has everything to do with Mick.


The only reason? Are you genuinely saying this is the only reason?

I totally agree, hence why dismissing what MM did to bring in those players and sell them on for what he did is so bizarre, right after you mention Hurst too. Lambert is spending far more, especially last season and utilising that money to offset people like Judge and KVY etc. The emphasis on wages over fees is still there though because it's the right thing to do for Evans and ITFC.

To pretend MM did that without the fans, is giving him far too much agency and pretending the fans didn't start or continue it to the point of brinkmanship. It's as much a lie as saying Lambert has created everything positive here and ignores the boos and struggles along the way from some.

The fans are always onside when the team is a success, it's easy following a winning team and vice versa. Everything that happened in the period you've described shows that. To say now is down to Lambert alone is a massive slap in the face to Blue Action and thousands of others.

Don't forget the people who treated Hurst like he could do no wrong right until the bitter end after all for a good demonstration of how some fans will choose a narrative over reality, before during and after. People got a massive wake up call last season, most have heeded it.

Mick did alot of good in his time here. But he was far from perfect. He set the wheels in motion for last season with his negativity towards the fans and the parting salute at Norwich. He completely destroyed the atmosphere around the club. Hurst came and and finished the job off.

Lamberts came in and picked the pieces up. He's got the fans back onside. He's the one who's invited Blue Action in and asked for help. He's picked the club back off the floor and is rebuilding. His PR approach can't be understated. We've gone from crowds of 12k in the Championship to 19-20k in L1. All because everything he's done.

There's aspects that need improving and ultimately, we've got a fantastic squad so we should be at the very least top 6. But the signs are there for a more positive future. Even looking further along, IF we did get promotion, I think there's a spine there that could do very well. Wolf, KVY, Downes, Norwood and Jackson. Theres a few others as well.

Let's just be happy that we have our club back & we're moving in the right direction

Exactly. And the same people who complained that Mick had no respect for the fans and Evans wasn't public enough are now using the phrase "PR Paul" like it's a bad thing that Lambert has spotted the problem with ITFC losing touch with its base and is trying to rectify it.

We're playing well, winning and the atmosphere is great. Only ITFC fans could find something to moan about in this situation


The main use of the phrase 'PR Paul' is Sitters. Who's well known for how much he cried about Mick using a bad word at a football match.

It's funny really. Is the current squad as good as the Prem squad? Clearly not. So he starts on the finances and going on about stats like most expensive (completely out of context). The sort of modern football Sky stats he usually claims he is above.

Then the people come out of the woodwork and say he's trolling, desperate to prove to themselves that they haven't 'fallen for it' when in reality this is just classic Blubfish over a very long time.

As Spruce says, he's a week or two away from squaring up to admin and getting banned.
