There’s no great surprise to me a man who lurks in the shadows much of the time comes out with a poor PR statement.
The facts of the matter remain the same, should Lambert slip out of the top 6 for a period of time, the axe will still be swung on him.
If Lambert doesn’t fall out of the top 6, then something is going right and we’ll in the play-offs.
I don’t like PL, purely on the basis I can see through him and recognise he is at this club, and will look after himself first and foremost, ensuring his own pockets are healthy as a priority, very slippery character.
However, if he can somehow get us promoted this year, then I won’t care one iota about his selfish ways.
Big 3 points needed tomorrow, COYB! Injuries are massive right now, has to be more an emphasis on being resolute and organised. [Post edited 4 Dec 2020 9:33]

Not sure I agree. |  | | |

I do think he will, if we slip down to the 10th mark or below for a period of time, he have no doubt Evans would pull the trigger.
Right now we are 5th, and still in the mix as things stand for the play-offs, and going week by week on a injury stricken squad.
I think Lambert is a piece of work, in for himself, hence I don’t like him, but would turn a blind eye if he manages to steer us to promotion this, although chances are incredibly slim. | |

Disagree entirely.
This has gone way beyond something that can be fixed with a few wins for me.
I don’t care if we win on Saturday and that’s the worst bit. | | | |

No nor me . I am beginning to think our owner might be annoyed with himself for deciding to extend the managers contract last year as now when he has to sack him its likely to be more costly ? Mind you its the fans fault he appointed Hurst who was a lousy fit !! |  | | |

I'm there too. I couldn't give a monkeys.
I feel bad for the players but the management (including Evans and O'Neill) is letting everyone down. |  |

What a weird post.
There's nothing to suggest slipping out the top 6 would cause Evans to act. Literally nothing.
To say you don't like Lambert because you can see through him is odd - you couldn't see through him as little as a few months ago. Also to label him as looking after himself first and foremost isn't a big deal, that applies to every manager. | | | |

I think you're right, in his time as owner, ME has listened to other footballing people, listened to the fans, but ultimately he has made the decisions, he doesn't want to admit it was a mistake - HIS mistake - to give PL a 5-yr contract just a year ago.
I can see where he's coming from, and to be honest, I would probably do the same if I were in his position. He wants a long term plan, he wants to give the manager time to carry out that plan, and there are mitigating circumstances, ie injuries.
But saying that, you still have to wonder why PL was given the job in the first place considering what was already in the public domain regarding his time at Villa, and then why such a long contract without a reasonable get-out clause.
Did ME hire him just to p1ss us off in the first place? "You made me get rid of Mick, you demanded Hurst sacked, now you can have an ex-Budgie as manager, see how you like that!" Starting to make sense now. |  |

The issue then is IF he does get us up we have him in the Championship. Carnage. |  | | |

Respect everyone thinks and sees things differently.
Doesn’t fill me anger, because probably I’m not surprised.
From my point of view, first and foremost I care about what is happening on the pitch, I hope Lambert makes me mince my words, and will be the first to apologise if he does.
Somehow feel that won’t happen. | |

What do you mean I couldn’t see him as little as a few months ago, don’t think that is true and would be interested to see where you have that from.
I think Feb time was last time I backed him, and was one of the latter ones to stick with him per day, although then admitted I’d got that wrong, but that was back in February time I believe.
Hardly a few months ago. | |

Don't worry your head about this, it's not going to happen under Paul's stewardship. |  | | |

Whether or not we disagree is a separate issue to what we think Evans will do. It's highly likely Lambert's job is safe for the foreseeable future, even if we drop below the top 6. We were comfortably mid table before lockdown and he seemed fine with that. [Post edited 4 Dec 2020 10:40]

You've been saying for days that he's not going anywhere, quoting his contract several times as the reason. |  |

With all due respect the way you comment on posts tends to deviate from the statement you've set out here. |  |

I'm increasingly convinced of the opposite, really. I think he'll likely be here at least until matchday revenues return to normal, more or less regardless of league position. |  |

Possibly, of course it’s all opinion and guesswork.
Think if that were the case and things were to persist, ST renewals next year will see a drop, even more so than this season which would be some statement to send to Evans. | |
