The risk of being out of contract became an obsession for Lambert from day 1. |  | |  |

Now comes the point we must consider - Was it just PR waffle as he knew we were sensitive to it - or dead he mean it. |  |

it's a knock on from our recruitment issues, isn't it? We're pretty active in renewing players who are playing well and have re-sale value, but that hasn't been very many players in the last few years. |  |

More of an “Evans problem” perhaps , since he likes to be doing ALL the major roles at HIS club? That’s the single biggest problem . |  |

It will be interesting to see what happens in the summer Cook is very pro " recruitment manager" he had one at wigan and pompy. Allows him to concentrate on managing. With all the outing Lambert made about lack of structure publicity. I wonder if we will finally start to see some new staff additions. |  |

Dave Bowman essentially has that role - although has been less involved under the last two managers - so I would expect someone to come in and replace him. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

We see his name a bit. But never really hear about his involvement. Is he quite media shy or just literally in the background |  |

Sounds like a job for Lee O'Neill, he needs to start earning his keep. |  |

I don't think he's ever done anything media-wise. He was Mick's chief scout but co-ordinated all that side of things as I understood it, got the director of football job title as Steve McCall was the chief scout when he came in but moved on the following summer. |  | |  |

Bowman seemed fairly capable when trusted, got some good players in for Mick. |  |

Knew exactly what Mick was looking for having worked with him for years. I expect he'll end up at Cardiff in the summer, if not before. |  | |  |

But we’re much improved on the days of Macauley etc. I would suggest that the reason why we have the current situation is because most of the names haven’t done enough to justify a new contract. I’d rather have this than be forced to employees a lot of these players for the next 2-3 years |  |
