Seeing lots of talk on various social media platforms regarding him coming here, or at the very least been spoken too.
I've discounted him recently due to the feeling he would want a club in the PL or the very least top end Championship.
Would be quite a coup if we were able to land him, should Lambert eventually get sacked at some point this century. |  |

I think we have two things in our favour when looking to attract a manager;
1. They know they will get time.
2. They know the owner won't interfere with how the team / club is run.
Those aspects will be important to some managers.
...however, they are always trumped by a bigger transfer budget. |
3 Any reasonably competent manager should be able to get Ipswich Town promoted from League One (although this could change given the impact the salary cap might have from this summer). |  | | |

Think you’re right, think we’ve probably dropped too low for him now, but I’d fancy him to get us moving in the right direction. |
He's definitely a manager to rebuild a club. | | | |

Not Paul Lambert, AND a record as a competent manager, is a decent starting point.
Wouldn't be my first choice mind you. |
Where on social media I've seen nothing |  | | |

Yeah, could see that. Not ideal but if it works can’t argue with it. Assuming of course Evans wants to pay Championship wages... |
Who knows if this is true. But if it is, we’ll again be paying a fortune for a prickly character. It’d be a very unimaginative signing. |  |

Any reasonably competent manager should have been able to do that last season.
Some reasonably competent managers would have prevented us ending up in League One in the first place. |  | | |

Oooh Phil... the claws are out!
Agreed.
But then again, even with a salary cap we SHOULD have competitive advantage over most of the division in terms of being able to attract talent, and out comparatively strong youth set up. |  |

True, but some of our competitive will have gone. | | | |

I remember the great job he did at Leicester. Once upon a time he’d have done well here, but I can’t see why he’d want to come here now. |  | | |

Phil... your mood seems different today.
Somehow more relaxed... for some reason, as if you know your week will be a good one.
Give me a smile if I am correct... [Post edited 31 Jan 2021 20:45]

I sounded him up a while back but agreed with others that potentially it's unrealistic, I think it would be a good match, he certainly isn't a yes man. |  |

Would he pick up the wider community engagement that the Cowleys have as part of their mix? I think Evans needs a manager who runs the club rather than a coach - if he’s not to engage and give a mandate to a DoF - which seems unlikely. |  |

Why did he leave Watford? Big bust up with the players was a rumour at the time |
Strangely there mention of this during the West Ham match on Sky Sports today. Said it was something that happened with Craig Dawson in the dressing room immediately following a match. | | | |

No manager runs the club in the Bobby Robson manner these days, but agree whoever comes in needs to engage with the community. I think we need a chief executive to do the admin side of things with Lee's role kept to what it's meant to be, general manager of football operations. | | | |

A team, a proper team.
People in roles of responsibility acting as club representatives - such as a board - along the top, and not a 1 - 1 - 1 formation of people in various levels of charge, each answerable to the one directly above, with no one on the same level to have honest and equal discussions with or involved in decision making. | |

Yes, I think the structure over the last few years hasn't worked - manager working to the owner, chief exec/managing director, when we've had one, answering to the owner, as does Lee now in his role at the moment while picking up all the slack as there's not anyone else in a senior role. Who do the the off-field heads of department work to at the moment? I'm assuming the owner as Lee's role is supposed to be football centred. | | | |

I wonder if too much is made of the community stuff. Get it right on the pitch and much else will fall into place. |  |

There’s no room for a mistake in this next appointment and clearly Pearson is a hot head |  |

Got to be a multi-pronged approach.
Although if we're rubbish at the time, it's probably best to just keep heads down until a revival to have any positive effect! | |
