He had the final say on whether they should get that player, which is only right as the manager of the team. He didn't have anything to do with the details. And besides, we don't know how desperate we were to get Norris at the time. He was highly rated. Maybe we, as a club, decided to reluctantly go with that clause because we wanted him so badly. To blame it all on Lambert is ridiculous.

I'm defending the truth. I've already stated that I don't think Lambert's the right man for us now, and that there's enough to question without all this silly made up stuff and conjecture. Some of you seem to lose all perspective when you turn on a manager. If people were just questioning why he played Teddy left midfield and Sears for only a minute on Saturday, I'd be well up for those discussions and be castigating him too.

It's also, by the by, not a case of me just having caught up. It's more that I have a bit more patience than you, am a bit more willing to give the benefit of the doubt, and that I don't want us to become one of those clubs that kneejerk fire managers after a few months at the first sign of trouble. I take a more mature approach than this ridiculous, toys-out-of-the-pram-coz-I-want-sweets blubbing by some on here.

I agree with Harry that a long term plan is needed to rebuild the club. I don't think some of you, though, have the patience to let that happen.


I don't know whether it is about patience BB, I am all for a rebuild of the football club, and would be fully supportive of such rebuild as I think it is what is needed at the club after such a decline, especially in recent years.

But do you honestly hold any faith in the Owner, Manager and Players to lead a rebuild anymore, because my faith is hanging by a thread.

Not enough football men at the club to be making the correct decisions.

Lambert has rotated his way out of top spot down to 9th in the third tier of English football, that is quite some achievement.

I struggle to see who Ipswich fans should trust in this situation.

Lol. I think it's pretty evident I'm not the one blubbing all over TWTD at the moment.
Pretty evident, also, that you can't answer my points.


I can easily answer them, but I've got a lot on today so don't have the time or inclination to get into a ten pager with you. I think if you reread the posts on this thread you definitely have a blubby tone going on, like full blub.

It is difficult to defend PL as things stand . Just 4 wins in the last 22 matches ,rotation policy that seems to have failed postponing matches because a few squad players missing,Little or no improvement in cup games and quoted as saying "i don't see the point of the competition " was a terrible quote for me as it almost allows the players to take the foot off the peddle . History shows that after a poor cup game follows a poor league game as its very hard to switch on and off . I dont really want us to become a hire and fire club but its not easy to defend PL's record .

Totally agree with all this. Your 3rd sentence sums it up perfectly. I don't think the owner's off anytime soon unless an oligarch comes along, but I would hope he'll eventually see the light and appoint a modern football team (of people behind the scenes). Then whoever they choose to be manager we need to give time to, which I don't think a lot of our fans have the aptitude for.

We do need an overhaul and a new structure, followed by a long term rebuild. My point in all this, and I think others agree, is just blaming the manager, sacking him, and then moving onto the next one is short-sighted and, frankly, isn't working. How can Evans not see this? His investment is getting worse. Only a fool would keep doing the same thing.

I bet Bloots will downarrow this.

Nope, not at all. I've just laid out how I see it in fair and measured posts (apart from taking the P out of Blubfish.

Blubfish is calling Lambert Shambert, PR Paul etc, has posted many multiple threads thusly, and is blaming him for everything. That's what a full-on blub looks like.

Friend of mine used to say that " perfect practice makes perfect ". In other words that if you just practice you get better at doing it badly. Likewise with rebuilding the club it must be done properly and not to change for change sake. Realistic goals and a good strategy need to be bought into by all. If you want to rebuild the club properly you have to choose a good manager. Paul appears to be failing the practical at this point so replacing him would assist as part of a proper rebuild.

You've just ignored the bit earlier where you jumped on me, saying I thought Lambert was the best man for the job when I didn't, haven't you? You should be apologising not hoping no-one noticed and/or doubling down. You realise everyone can see what you wrote don't you?

Again here, more evidence of your inability to read and comprehend. Where have I said Lambert doesn't have an input in transfers?! I'm merely saying it's ridiculous to blame it all on him. Stick to the stuff which is definitely fault, i.e. Teddy left midfield and Sears on with a minute to go. Oh, I guess you don't have a lot to say on actual games seeing as you don't go to them.


I'm entirely open about the fact I don't go to games, but well done on trying to use that against me. I still watch the majority of them.

I didn't jump on you, I questioned what you were saying now in comparison to what you said 2 weeks ago. You've told me that you still don't think Lambert is the right man so fair enough, apologies for reading into what you posted incorrectly.

Regarding the Norris saga, then either Lambert is majorly at fault for selection, or him alongside others in the club are at fault for accepting ridiculous clauses inside Loan deals. Now, I'm fairly sure Lambert has said there is no clause in which case it's purely poor decision making from him (again).

I'm not sure if you're struggling to come to terms with the fact that most of us could see months ago that Lambert was an incapable manager and you couldn't, it certainly comes across that way. If I were you I wouldn't let it get to you - some people simply understand football better than others - and can easily identify mis-management / tactical set-ups and playing styles.

Funny how you apologise in one paragraph and then go back to being a patronising cock shortly after.

I had my doubts about Lambert, but as I said elsewhere I prefer to give people a chance and the benefit of the doubt. I certainly don't throw my toys around on here as soon as the going gets tough, like some of you.

People have different opinions and different ways of looking at things, so wind your neck in and have a bit more respect for fellow supporters.

Funny how you put digs in about me not attending games and then demand an apology from me. Which I gave you.

I stated a fact. Once (not plural). And it was nothing compared to the made-up patronising bull you fired my way.

You can go on my ignore list. I prefer talking to adults.
