Is that Marcus hasn’t yet admitted to himself that he had his pants pulled down about 12 months ago and got rinsed for a five year deal.
C’mon mate, we’ve all made mistakes but it’s the bigger man who looks himself in the mirror and takes steps to makes things right. Letting this fester is doing nobody any good. |  |

I can honestly picture Evans sat with his phone, scrolling through TWTD and crying with laughter at all the, "Lambert Out" posts, knowing full well that Lambert's here for the foreseeable.
As you say though, time for him to admit he got it wrong and do the right thing now before it really is too late, not that it would mean much to him, but it would certainly earn him my respect. |  |

The way we are playing and our form the longer this is allowed to drag on we could quite easily get sucked into a relegation scrap and that worries me even more. |  |

It's also the case that Marcus Evans has (according to reports on here) had a big input into the system and team selection - it's because of him that we stick so rigidly to the 4-3-3, and didn't change the team much early in the season. I guess anything that goes wrong, Lambert will say something like, well, it's your system Mr Evans, would you like me to change it?
And if Lambert did get sacked, I'd guess he could (at some point) go public about what Evans had told him to do etc. |  | | |

not sure a man of his professed integrity would do such a thing. |  |

Maybe Evans should employ a football advisor, there's a Mr Cook or a couple of brothers named Cowley available at the moment. They could 'advise' Mr Evans on things such as training methods, tactics, shape, then he could pass that directly on to Mr Lambert to implement, before and during games if necessary.
If Mr Lambert doesn't like that setup, well he knows what he can do. | |

Who knows. I see the potential answers as to why nothing’s happened as follows:
1. As you say, he’s committed to the long term deal and is reluctant to back track.
2. The cost implications of paying off Lambert & staff and hiring a new team
3. He genuinely thinks Lambert is doing a good job or believes he can do a good job (e.g. accepts the injuries/weird Covid season as valid excuses
4. Doesn’t know what to do: either can’t decide whether Lambert should be sacked or unsure about who’s next
5. Has made a decision, but is moving slowly
6. Doesn’t care or too busy now to look at it.
I can’t think of any more possible reasons for the inaction. No idea which it might be; possibly 4 or 5. |  |

In previous managers he has fired there is always someone else waiting in the wings ready to go the next day or so perhaps he is waiting to get that sorted again | | | |

We are currently on relegation form so it is the early season points in the bank that are keeping us clear of it.
However, with half the season to play it would only take a slight dip in form to be dragged into it. I am not sure the team under Lambert has the fight to overcome it either. It's not like we put up a fight when faced with our last relegation.
We need Lambert gone before we are sucked into one. |  |

Slight dip in form? Current form would be enough to drag us into the relegation zone | | | |

Try reading my post again.
We are on 11 points from 11 games. Our form over a considerable period of time is relegation form. It is, therefore our early season points that are keeping us clear of it.
Maybe I am wrong, but I doubt teams get relegated from this league on 59 points. If they do you are correct. If it is closer to 50 points we would need a slight dip in form. One I could easily see happening the way we are going. | |
