Highest paid manager in the league 16:59 - Oct 3 with 3881 viewsBluefish

Isn't capable of making any tactical changes to get us in the game. He has watched Gwion for 55 minutes and decided that he is worth keeping on for the rest of the game.

Not sure if we are allowed to point out the problems in the team today? Apparently we can't after wins so no idea after draws. The issues are the same as the opening games and the same as last season. It was an abysmal performance going forwards.

Highest paid manager in the league on 17:39 - Oct 3 by JDB23

“ The survey, filled in by 18 Championship outfits and 15 in the third tier, also shows that one League One manager at a ‘southern club’ is trousering £550,000 a year — it seems highly likely that boss is Paul Lambert.

That wage is almost £400,000 more than the average manager’s wage in the third tier of £182,438.”

Not the confirmed highest but I’d be surprised if he isn’t.


When you are paying that sort of money the manager needs to be adding real value. You can't be hoping they will learn and come good 2 years later

That article speculates that Lambert is the manager at a southern club earning £550K. It could as easily be Portsmouth, Peterborough or Oxford (unlikely but nothing to show for sure). The survey covered 16 League 1 clubs and was leaked so certainly far from comprehensive or official. Does the club publish accounts that show Lambert's salary?

Nowhere in the article does it show other manager's wages, only giving an average figure that is presumably calculated from the leaked survey of 2/3 of the clubs.

Given that was based on last season's figures, would the Hull manager be included as a League 1 boss?


And which are the 8 other clubs from last season that the leaked survey did not include? Who leaked the survey? Was it accurate in the first place?

There is nothing there that makes it clear Lambert is the highest paid manager at this level. He may well be but no proof there.

It sure how you’ve watched that and decided Edwards was worth criticism. Seats should have come off. But not that early and not for judge.

Indeed. The only definite conclusion we can come to is that Blubbers is being a wally.

You're allowed your opinion... and people are allowed to challenge it.

I feel like the likes of you just wait in the wings for a poor performance... which is always going to come, we aren't going to play great every game.

To say Lambert isn't capable of making any tactical changes to get us in the game is clearly nonsense as he did exactly that against Bristol Rovers.

You're obsessed with Edwards, regardless of what he does. Even when he had a hand in our goal you're straight on here criticising it.

We played poorly today, it happens. They were probably the best team we've played, we were away from home, lost Ward (I never feel comfortable with Kenlock in there) and Downes to injury, down to 10 men for about half an hour, plus the scorer of the equaliser should've been sent off.

Gratefully take a point and move on.


Agree, some people are bizarrely desperate for the tied to turn to say “I told you so”. They seem more interested in trying to be seen as “right” in everyone’s eyes rather than make any balanced assessment on the game.

Lambert has made very good in game in game tactical changes at times, today he got it wrong.

Lambert has got us going rather well this overall, today we were poor.

It’s one game, hopefully in isolation, you have to keep a level head to assess what’s actually going this season so far, and so far it has been overall good.

Take the point and move on...

Lankester and Hawkins were good moves vs Bristol Rovers.

Indeed that’s your problem in a nutshell really. Lambert has acknowledged things weren’t good enough last year, nowhere near good enough. Lambert has acknowledged errors with rotation and personel changing.

But he’s clearly made efforts and attempts to rectify this this year, and by all accounts the opening to the season has been a success.

But as mentioned, you are unfortunately always going to be unhappy during Lamberts tenure regardless, and it’s a shame for you, instead of assessing what is actually happening in the here and now.

Blubbers has painted himself so far into a corner that he won't be happy watching Ipswich until Lambert has gone. You have to feel sorry for him in a way. Imagine going into every one of your team's games already seething. Must be a miserable existence.

It’s harsh to say still is, when we’ve started this season unbeaten, with a little bit of stability and structure, something rectified from last year.

Why can’t you wait for a little longer to make an assessment on how we will fare this year? instead of hopping on here with a little breakdown every time things aren’t rosey red, we didn’t lose today and you’ve had a mini meltdown, I dread our first defeat this year.

I don’t think he needs more time because he’s not in a bad run of form, in fact we’ve got off to a good start so his position isn’t even in question right now.

We had a good start last year and people said we had to ignore the issues of PRP because of the good start. If we miss promotion this season we are screwed, we cannot take that gamble on PRP. The failings are still so obvious
