Where does the fault lie for our current downturn? 12:09 - Feb 27 with 11180 viewsKernewekBlue

I'm interested to know who you think is at fault for our current predicament. Does the blame for our woes rest with Paul Lambert or does it sit at the feet of Marcus Evans?

Define current?

- Since playing Rotherham in late Jan?
- Since October?
- Since McCarthy left?
- Since Evans bought the club?
- Since Royle failed to get us promoted?
- Since the Summer of 2001?

I’ve said it before but Marcus Evans was the main contributor to us ending up in this division.

Lambert is the sole reason we are staying here (as well as being part of the reason we got relegated)

My hobbies include being quiet during trips, clapping with songs, and diabetes.

Current = Now.

Languishing in 9th in League 1 following a disastrous relegation from The Championship.

If you want a broader definition, since Lambert was appointed as manager.

Lambert didn't get us relegated, he was just handed the steering wheel when the brakes failed and we plunged off the cliff! The writing was on the wall LONG before that!

If Lambert is the only reason we won't get promoted from League 1, who could do a job and get us back up to The Championship with little or no investment?

Well that’s easy then - Lambert.

If he’d gotten us back up this season then he’d have been on a clean slate for me but we don’t look close to going up currently. Given the squad we have it’s not Evans fault we are going to be in this league next season (well, aside from allowing Lambert to remain here)

I think we can trace this back to Pope John Paul the 2nd. Since his untimely death, we have been on a downward spiral. I would blame him.

So, can I take it that you agree with Marcus Evans' invetsment policy, his sales of established and promising, up and coming playing staff for relative peanuts, his constant 5 year plans, his managerial appointments and the way he puts the club first in all his thoughts and dealings with no regard for personal gain?

why do you believe this club should be first in all his thoughts and dealings with no regard for personal gain? personal gain has long since sailed away as the club loses money each year and he is unlikely to see any tangible gain

Its a failed investment. Its probably an annoyance now more than anything

"Given the squad we have it’s not Evans fault we are going to be in this league next season"

The squad we have, which has proven to be not good enough to compete consistently in League 1, is as a direct result of Marcus Evans' transfer and investment policy, so how can he not shoulder the blame for our slide down the leagues?

His book balancing exploits have left us woefully undertalented and not fit for purpose.

Nah, the squad is more than good enough to compete in the division. Lambert is just too incompetent to get them playing a proper system/style

If he bought this club to simply run it into the ground as a tax loss with a view to bleeding it dry of talent to somewhat balance the books until hoping to recoup his initial investment by selling it on afterwards, he has done himself no favours.

For a businessman of some apparent standing and prowess, he has failed miserably.

In no way is he the saviour we were all told about when he walked through the door with his inane smile and his empty rhetoric. He's a parasite, a carrion crow of an owner that will pick the bones clean of any decent assets this club once possessed. He's like a tapeworm, sucking all the goodness out of our wonderful club before slithering away to find his next victim.

Just my opinion.

Nice bloke!

He hasn’t had little to no investment though, he was given the funds to sign 7 players last January, and then the likes of Holy, KVY, Garbutt, Norwood and Keane who are expensive acquisitions at this level
