When Hurst was sacked and Lambert came in 14:54 - Feb 26 with 2099 viewsBrixtonBlue

can anyone remember any other names who were seriously in the running (as in who got interviewed)?

I bet Bloots will downarrow this.

Was pretty much done straight after, wasn't it? Not sure many other names cropped up, at least that I'm aware of.

That's what I was thinking. I seem to remember quite a few names when we chose Hurst. I personally favoured Warburton, who is doing ok but nothing special at QPR. I wonder what he'd have done with our squad last year.

I also, towards the end, favoured Burley (hence my avatar), partly on nostalgia but also because he was very good with the youths, and I felt that with our lack of funds that would be the best way to go.

It probably still is the way to go to be fair. Need someone who can get on the training ground and bring through our young players into a system that suits them.

It seems that Paul Lambert was lined up to replace Hurst before the win at Swansea postponed things for a couple of weeks so don't know if that means that PL was first/only candidate.

Hurst Sacked on 25th October - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45972183
Lambert Appointed on 27th October - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45984873

Must have all been agreed before the sacking, agree with the above that the fluke Swansea win gave Hurst a temporary reprieve

It's bonkers that one flukey win gives a manager a reprieve (especially when you look at the stats for that game). If you're thinking of getting rid of a manager then it must be time for him to go - so just get rid. Prolonging the agony helps no-one.

Was probably more the hope that it would be a turnaround. Quite why we waited until after Leeds game rather than QPR I don't know

I might be wrong, but I remember Nathan Jones' name being thrown around too.

I know he failed miserably at Stoke with a massive budget, but I'd have been very interested to see what he could have done here on a small budget, especially after his achievements with Luton on a small budget.

Not as bonkers as getting the sack after beating your local rivals (for the last time as it stands)

I seem to recall it was pretty swift, cant recall any speculation.

That QPR game was utterly abject. Up there with Sheffield Wednesday at home after Jewell got the boot. Just utterly gutless and embarrassing.

Yeah. Quite why losing away at high-flying Leeds was a sackable offence and QPR wasn't I don't know

The performance at Leeds was also very poor despite there being seven changes from the team that started against QPR but you are right, I don't suppose keeping his job depended on what happened at Leeds.

Micky Mouse. Donald Duck. Pluto. Bugs Bunny. Sylvester and tweety Pie. Think they wanted more money so skin flint Evans went for Fog Horn Leg Horn. We would be top of the league and on the way to 100 points/goals otherwise.
