He isn't going anywhere yet on 14:38 - Feb 17 by clive_baker
I think it's a case of putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.
It wouldn't surprise me overly if ME finally chucked in the towel. The economic uncertainty impacting the wider ME group and the stick he's rightly been getting, perhaps being the nail in the coffin in terms of his support to the tune of £5m a year. There's no end goal now for him, it's good money after bad at this stage. He's been reluctant to invest in the squad long term, opting for some short term loans. Also reluctant to make any decisions on permanent sales a la Donacien when it looked like the right thing to do. And focussing on tying down assets like Dozzell and Baggott to new contracts to protect the value of the asset.
Keeping PL in situ could be a case of leaving it to the new owners make such decisions on his future, but personally I don't make it likely. I imagine it's more a case of ME being keen to avoid a punchy payoff, and doing that thing where he delays the inevitable for as long as possible. He's also been tapping up replacements, which would be at odds with him selling up, unless its a contingency plan.
One way or another Lambert's days are numbered.
Radiohead are buying us! There's a castle on a hill too....just saying!
