So because Blue Action are now saying FOPRP on 20:29 - Nov 26 by footers | You already have: Mick. Your assumption that it was somehow an impossible task is debunked by your own admission that there was at least one person who could have done it. Warnock is another. This is theoretical, but you seem to excuse PL for the relegation time and again when he also had a big part in it. |
Your assumption is that my assumption is that it was somehow an impossible task. I haven't said that. Feel free to point out where I have. I also haven't excused Lambert for the relegation. As I said earlier, I just hold Hurst more responsible. This is a bonkers argument anyway. It doesn't matter now. Over his time here, Lambert hasn't been good enough. I just get frustrated by fans who expect immediate results, and blame the immediate man in the hotseat. There's much more wrong than that, and it goes back years. | |

So because Blue Action are now saying FOPRP on 20:27 - Nov 26 by The_Flashing_Smile | Yep, don't disagree with that. The only thing we disagree on is your last line. I certainly couldn't name anyone who would have saved us. |
By naming names now it cannot be proved either way whether they would or would not have saved us but it does not take too much thought to come up with the type of person that it would have taken to give us the best chance of staying up. We needed to accumulate some points and I do not see that it matters how the points were accumulated and there are/were a lot of managers that could achieve that. I actually thought that we were saved from likely relegation the moment that Hurst was sacked and fully expected just about anyone that was appointed as his replacement to do it-I certainly expected PL to do it. | | | |

So because Blue Action are now saying FOPRP on 14:31 - Nov 26 by The_Flashing_Smile | It wasn't a daft idea IMO. It was a great effort and massively needed at the time. It was all part of galvanising the support and I thank you guys for that. It was a credit to our club because a lot of other clubs I can think of wouldn't have got on board with such support on the way to relegation. Some might say it was nae normal! |
I actually think it was hugely damaging to the club, of course it was done with the best intentions. But for some of us that pathetic championship relegation made it clear as day Lambert wasn't good enough and instead we not only gave him a free ride, we basically rewarded him for it. | | | |

Not with the squad of players Hurst left. Even Mick would have struggled to keep that team up. | |

I don't think so, despite the rubbish that Hurst signed there was enough there in the squad for somebody to organise well enough to accumulate points-in my opinion. It might not have been pretty but I think that it was very doable. Mick or somebody like him would have been the type that could best have been able to do it but as I said, I thought sacking Hurst had saved us from relegation. | | | |

‘Enough there in the squad’. But we just didn’t have any goals in the squad did we? Thanks to Hurst selling off any decent strikers that we had and replacing them with league 1 rubbish. Sure a manager like Mick would have made us harder to beat but the odd 0-0 here and 1-1 there wouldn’t have been enough. Sooner or later we would’ve had to win a few games and if you don’t score enough goals that’s pretty difficult. We needed to persuade at least one, probably two, decent Championship level strikers to join a club adrift at the bottom of the league in January which was never going to happen. Mick had a far better squad when he took over and, more importantly, players that could score goals. | | | |

It was damaging to throw 'nae normal' support towards a manager that had failed spectacularly to keep us up, and had shown literally nothing in terms of being better than Hurst, other than buying fans drinks. Because there's then no pressure on Evans to make the correct decision, which would have been to sack him then and there. | | | |

We may have lacked strikers, but we also made few chances. The malaise in the team, in my opinion, did not really lift during Mick's final months, nor Hurst's short time or Lambert's relatively much longer time. Watching has painful across that whole period and has not improved. Unless things are radically reset the likes of Charlton, Crewe, and even such as Burton, will come here with no fear or apprehension of cut-and-thrust attacking - that's why they can look as good as they often do. | |

Throwing my two pence in. - I definitely don’t think we should have been clapping and singing Bob Marley and Paul Lamberts name when we got relegated. I’ve never seen a club accept relegation so limply. End of the day, I don’t care who was more to blame than who; we had just been relegated to the Third Tier and the players, managers, staff all were getting a standing ovation. Baffling. | | | |

No, I think we should have been once we were relegated as opposed to singing Bob Marley and Paul Lambert is a blue. Just because you couldn't see it then doesn't mean others couldn't. | | | |

I have also been talking to the wrong people because although I have lived in Suffolk all of my almost 70 years I do not think that I have ever heard anyone say it and had not seen it in print either until I saw it on this site a while ago. [Post edited 27 Nov 2020 19:55]

My wife is from Nottinghamshire and although she has lived in Suffolk for most of the last 40 odd years she still has a broad Nottinghamshire accent so I often ask her 'Are you alreet duck?' I am honestly not aware of ever hearing anyone say 'en' though-must be 'cos I went to Woodbridge School! [Post edited 27 Nov 2020 20:54]
