Paul Lambert: The Special One? 15:48 - Jan 27 with 1101 viewswkj

So far Evans has disposed of four managers, but what keeps it from being five?

Jim:
148 played, 56 won, 41 drawn, 51 lost with a win % of 37.8%

Dark Lord:
81 Played, 28 won, 25 drawn, 28 lost with a win % of 34.6%

Porno "Watching the DVD" Paul:
85 Played, 29 won, 18 drawn, 38 lost with a win % of 34.1%

Paul "Training in his pant" Hurst:
15 Played, 1 won, 7 drawn, 7 lost with a win % of 6.7%

Paul "Cold ne ask more" Lambert:
104 Played, 34 won, 25 drawn, 45 lost with a win % of 32.7%

Why is Lambert getting more backing than the others (except Hurst), despite playing more games at a worse rate of wins?

He really must be Evans' special one or something as this sh*t is becoming beyond a farce.

Bar Hurst, I don't think he really wanted to sack any of them, most just left of their own accord after things got too bad.

The real difference is that Lambert just won't resign.

Unlike MM, Lamberts 'reputation' is absolutely shot to pieces, so he knows he will never again command a salary anywhere close to the stupid amount that we pay him.

He is destined for a job in Scottish football on around 20% of what he currently earns.

He'd be best advised to take up a career in punditry in scotland or germany.

In some ways that makes the perception of Evans even more distressing - The others did him a favour by getting out rendering Evans' inability to fire ineffective managers even worse than it already appears.

Again, do you honestly thinks Evans is that worried about the results or what happens on the pitch? His objective is to make this club pay for itself and to stop costing him money. He can do that in League One or Two. He has a manager running the team, he's going to be able to reduce the wage bill by half over the next 2 seasons by default (new rules). Evans has said all this over the past 5 years, he recently told us he was waiting for football to become more ethical to progress the club... something we all know will never happen.

Lambert isn't special, he's just doing a job, which is all Evans needs to get this club financially to a place he can afford. If he cared about staying up he'd have never hired Lambert or gave him next to nothing to strengthen to keep us up in the first place, he'd have thrown the sink at it, but he didn't, even though it was one of the lowest points relegation seasons ever and wouldn't have taken much to stay up, he just decided not to pay out anymore and lets us sink.

If you want change stop spending your money with the club.

I remember Stuart Pearce once saying that he wouldn't accept a pay-off because he wouldn't have earned the money.

Lambert's reputation had been completely obliterated with everyone except Ipswich fans before he got here. The hard on that our fans proudly showed for him for 2 years was weird to the extreme and probably one about norwich being in our heads

Lambert has been kept in post thanks to covid. People were starting to turn on him in February 2020 after two horrendous runs of form that saw us tumble from the top of the table to mid table. Had there been fans in the ground and we'd completed last season in the normal fashion he'd have been gone last summer.

The pandemic allowed him to gaslight both Evans and enough of the fanbase(there was a significant minority on here saying 'it's a new season, get behind him', for example) that he was going to 'learn from his mistakes' and embark on something he's never shown signs of being interested in at any time in his career - a long term rebuild.

Right now, it's again the lack of fans that are keeping him in the job. By now Evans would have seen terrace unrest, falling walk-up attendances and even in-groud demonstrations. Seeing none of that, coupled to a woefully inadequate structure at the club that's fuelled an injured crisis(for example) has detached him even further from the reality of life on the ground at ITFC than usual.

Thing of it all is Badger - this one shouldn't be down to the fans. If promotion matters to Evans, which is becomes increasingly hard to believe, 17th on the form table with the gap between the playoffs becoming more and more insurmountable should be more actionable than any fan protest.
