He is rude to Brenner because he knows that he can be, without fear of retribution.
He digs out young players for no apparent reason. In the big scheme of things they are pretty defenseless.
He is a far stronger character than Lee O'Neill, who should be over-seeing standards of conduct.
If he isn't a bully, then what is he?

An embarrassing attitude to accept this rubbish |
But the squad is a league 1 level squad?
5 maybe good players. 3 only ever fit/available at a push.
This is the level the club is at right now, and it’s a falsified mentality based presumably on historical success that still in the eye to some means Ipswich are a big team, a big team that should be ‘walking’ League 1. [Post edited 22 Nov 2020 8:20]

There is no other club in this division that could have 5 injuries/suspensions in CM (Downes, Skuse, Nolan, Dozzell, Bishop) and bring on a player of Huws pedigree in midfield.
You are judging a squad coached/managed by PL and his team against lesser squads that are far better coached and managed. | | | |

He is a bully.
I'll say it again, can anyone name a single "older" player he has given any sort of grief?
Literally all of them are young, probably because they are in less of a position to defend themselves.
There is no other explanation. |
There is another explanation. He's not bullying them, he's trying to keep their feet on the floor and push them on to better things/keep them improving. You don't need to (or can't) do that with senior players.
Whether it's the right approach or not is another matter, but that's what he's trying to do. |  |

Huws is very poor. Slow, lethargic, gives the ball away a lot.
Skuse/Nolan average League 1 footballers.
Bishop/Downes/Dozzell probably the best midfield 3 in the league. 2 are crocked (no real surprise)
I’m judging the players on last 18 months. I think that’s a reasonable amount of time to judge a player. [Post edited 22 Nov 2020 8:39]

Reality doesn't seem to be something that our fanbase specialises in. Many seem to think we should be top having played every team off the park every game - 'pissing this' is supposedly what we should be doing. |
Indeed. chrisswailes has said above that PL can't get results, literally on the same day we've won at home, having won every home game this season.

That doesn't really disrepute my point considering PL has been the manager throughout that entire period. | | | |

Regardless of manager, players still must take responsibility when they cross they white line. Ultimately they have to be responsible for their own quality they produce on the pitch, Lambert can’t be on the pitch to produce quality for them.
And ultimately too many of the players have limited quality and ability. | |

It's up to the manager and his team to ensure the team are properly coached, drilled and organised though. I watch games like yesterday (and a lot of games under PL) and wonder what they do on the training pitch during the week. | | | |

Hmmm. And Brenner? Was he trying to keep Brenner's feet on the floor?
I think it's more a question of his character emerging when under pressure. | | | |

I think he has disdain for the media generally rather than bullying Brenner. Usually their interactions are fine. I think you're making something out of very little. | |

Comes across as bitter, passive aggressive, and very sensitive when he detects any perceived criticism. So a Marcus Evans era ITFC manager to a tee (apart from PJ, obviously). |  | | |

Think it's reasonable to conclude that that's probably what he thinks he's trying to do, but that he's just woefully incompetent at it - but worth also saying that bullies don't set out to bully people, it's a way for them to project their own insecurities on to others. | | | |

Lambert was on the defensive with Brenner and clearly believes the best form of defence is attack.
In my book that makes him a bully.
The problem with any form of bullying is that most organizations put the responsibility on the individual being bullied to make a complaint. No footballer is going to do that, unless it involves a racist or sexist element where things are more clearly defined.
The real responsibility lies with those to whom the bully reports.
As for Brenner he will no doubt go back into his shell and avoid future conflict so the bully wins.
The only way to resolve this quickly is two awful all round performances against Hull and Charlton and no real fan wants that to happen.
Lambert remains the problem, as does Marcus Evans as he is the only person who can do something about it and he by giving Lambert an unearned new contract has put himself in a very uncomfortable position. |  |

Absolutely nicked that one against a very poor side by The_Flashing_Smile 21 Nov 2020 17:20I was exactly the same. Was playing football on my phone a fair bit and not giving the real match my full attention.
There's no urgency, little desire, and we seem like a ponderous bunch of strangers at times. I'm beginning to think time's up for Lambert, because against such a weak team that was really really poor.

I think he’s a bully and a bellend.
And a sh*t football manager who embarrasses our club.
Over the years I’ve had so much respect for people like Bart, Chambers, Skuse, Sears, Berra etc for the way they’ve conducted themselves. They’ve always tried and been good representatives.
PL is just a mean man who can’t get results. |
But you know nothing about those people and how they conduct themselves? | | | |

How many ex-players over McCarthy's career have come out and criticised him, let alone called him a bully? Given that people were crying that he turned the players against them with the "pissing in and out" nonsense, and his teams literally ran through walls for him where do you get this stuff from?
I get it's hard for you lot and it must be embarrassing to have been so wrong, but just continually making stuff up about McCarthy to make yourselves feel better doesn't help you, us or change what's happened does it? |  |

Nothing like Mick at all. Mick defended his players in front of the media and took the hit and assumed responsibility in front of journalists , goodness me, he even shielded Evans.
Having a go at youngsters in the media to 'keep their feet on the ground' is hardly good personnel management. |  | | |

He looks shot doesn’t he.
Whatever your views on Lambert and whoever our manager is at the end of the season there is a likely to be a significant cull on the horizon. The likes of Skuse, Huws, Sears and Judge are drinking in the last chance saloon. | |
