He'll get a job bigger than us.

We'll be putting our hands in the bargain bucket and pull out Paul Clement.


Paul Clement! Remember they hype surrounding him when he got the Derby job - awful manager.

You're sad about that, you just wait until Ian Holloway comes bouncing through the door having signed a 5 year deal.

If it's not Cook or the Cowleys, then Pearson would be one hell of an appointment.

More that I've not heard too many encouraging noises about their prospects of getting the job when talking to people at the club. But I have heard they have been spoken to so they're not entirely off the list even if, from how I read it, they're not the most favoured candidates as things stand.


Surely if Evans has spoken to this many possible replacements, we are close to it coming into fruition? Surely?!?! Please Phil

Indeed, would be ideal I think given the job he did at Leicester rebuilding the club.


It’s a yes from me.

Lambert is deserving of the blame that he’s getting and the contribution that he’s made to our further demise. However, the players are also playing their part and are quite frankly, embarrassing at the moment and should be ashamed of themselves.

Pearson would sort that out.

I wouldn't put it past Evans to ask his Celtic counterpart if he could swap Lambert for Lennon.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

That job stability would appeal to him, I think. Stark contrast to Watford.


Id love it to be Pearson. Think he would like a long term job, where he gets left alone. It's an ideal job for him. He can be left to rebuild things like he did at Leicester. I think ME would pay him a fair whack. It's if he bothered to back him with some cash to spend that's the big question?

You seem to have forgotten the 53% at Lincoln, not to mention the context regarding what they inherited at Huddersfield which was a team that had literally forgotten how to win and were heading to League One.

The job they did was not dissimilar to what MM did when he arrived here and I don't remember anybody complaining,

To provide further context, Cowley actually outperformed David Wagner over their respective first 31 games in charge

No, I haven't forgotten. I looked up his stats before posting. It just doesn't hold much weight and credibility with me.

When Paul Hurst was appointed he had a record of
Ilkeston Town: 62.1%
Boston United: 60.0%
Grimsby Town: 44.7%
Grimsby Town: 49.5%
Shrewsbury Town: 48.5%

He then came to Ipswich and got a 6.7%

This role will be more difficult than Huddersfield, where he got a 32% win rate. I'm just not sold on him.

Ah so you just selected the stat which best suited your argument while omitting the rest then.

The Cowley's record suggests they are winners and with a particularly strong knowledge of the lower leagues and the total club rebuilding job they did at Lincoln it makes them strong candidates for me.

Selecting the job they did at Huddersfield as an example of why they would not be a good fit here makes little sense when they did as well as could realistically be expected in the short time they were there. Getting ITFC to perform better in League One than we currently are is not a difficult challenge for any half competent Manager.

If you are not sold then that is entirely your opinion of course but your argument to support that is pretty weak to be honest.

Agree, think that is something that could be the appeal here. I don't see ME backing any manager any more than was the case previously if and when we're back in the Championship.

Why would the role be more difficult than Huddersfield? They had won 1 single game in 10 months and were bottom of the table with 1 point from 9 games. They had stumbled over the line to promotion to the PL after a great start scoring one goal in 3 play off games, they stayed up after a great start to their first season and subsequently won 6 games of their final 58 in the Premier League

Whereas we are a midtable side with a hugely resourced squad for this level?

Yes, I selected the stat that highlights my doubt. Why would I present a fact that doesn't support my case. That would be incredibly stupid.

Of course it is my opinion, I don't claim to speak for others. It is also your opinion that it is weak.

I think you underestimate how difficult it is to upwardly manage at this club. Even a decent and experienced manager like MM found it a challenge to work within the constraints put upon him.

I think using Lincoln as a sole example within the EFL to support a counter argument is not only weak, but hypercritical... "to be honest".

Because their issues aren't as deep as ours. Ours are structural and institutional, in addition to managerial.

I don't get the impression that the Cowleys are particularly favoured for the job here.


They clearly want to do things properly

So you think a team that has won 6 games in nearly 2 years didn’t have structural or institutional issues? Since they’ve left they’ve won 9 out of 31 games and are dropping like a stone - and now in a run of 2 points in 8 games plus been dumped out of cup by lower league opposition.

The ‘state’ ITFC are in is massively exaggerated by ITFC fans, and the owners biggest failing is giving a rubbish manager too long - Lambert is failing here because he’s rubbish and has been for a long time, not because of a lack of structure

I think they over-extended under a very good manager. Something a good manager couldn't replicate.

Don't get me wrong, DC would be on my shortlist. But as an outside observer, I'm not convinced on the chances of success nor on the style of football.

I agree that Lambert is failing because he is rubbish. But we will have to agree to disagree on the extent of our off-field issues.
