Great piece on Nigel Clough on The Athletic on 15:41 - Jun 5 with 1548 views | BlueBadger | Couple of points -Firstly, been thinking about an Athletic sub for a while - would you say it's worth it? I'e been impressed with the stable of writers they've managed to accrue 'Good' things Lambert did in a difficult situation to make it better: 1. Bought drinks 2. Nice interviews 3. Bought a few club legends nice dinners 4. Somehow managed to convince ME that he was worth a five year contract Bad things things Lambert did to make a difficult situation worse 1. Be unable to settle on a first XI 2. Be unable to settle a formation 3. Settle on a pattern of play 4. Motivated a side to finish above crisis stricken Bolton 5. Be unable to get the side with the highest wage bill in League One promoted 6. Fail to resign after the above. | |

I could well be stuck in the past and have crazy views though, like thinking we need someone to get us challenging for a shot at the PL again. I know, deluded. | |

He got us playing better last season that Hurst did at times, but without results. This season, no. It's been a bit of a mess sadly despite nicking results early in the season (we had the odd 45 minutes that looked good). Been all downhill from Jan though. | |

I had a brief trial sub with The Athletic. Would def recommend - some excellent journalism and model means they go beyond the usual prem league fare in papers. For some reason I've still got access despite trial finishing- I dont know if it's free during pandemic? Lambert has made mistakes and it's been a terribly poor season. But I don't think it's fair to write himtotally off. Problems at club go beyond just management. I think he needs better coaching staff. His eye for a player good when he's allowed to use funds. | | | |

Very eye opening piece in terms of how he's been up against it at each of his clubs. Very likeable and I think would be great here! | | | | Login to get fewer ads

He's been failing in various jobs for 8+ years now, I don't think needs better coaches, he needs to be a better manager and it's probably too late for him to start now. And also, Jewell could spot a player when he had funds. Even Keane, occasionally. It didn't make either competent. [Post edited 5 Jun 2020 16:04]

The only thing regrettable about The Athletic is that I don’t have time to read everything I want to read. Top notch. | |

You should check out Tifo, they do some great podcasts and are now part of the Athletic so quite often their content goes hand in hand. I tend to listen to their podcast when cooking or tidying up the kitchen, makes it easier to digest the wide range of subjects they cover IMO. [Post edited 6 Jun 2020 0:34]

We need a new manager because if football is cyclical, well we’ve already had Keane MKII (lousy man-management, lousy transfer business, sold a striker he shouldn’t have and a desperately poor start to a season) and we’re currently in the middle of Jewell MKII (constant tinkering, lack of a plan, inability to stick to a line-up, lengthy losing run, spouts nonsense in press conferences) so hopefully we’ll get McCarthy MKII next, albeit at a lower level and do enough under Evans to chase the promised land of 21st place in the Championship while overachieving to reach the Everest of 15th place. | | | |
