Peterborough’s owner kicking off on Twitter by BlueBadger 8 May 2020 15:34Thing is, I can see Eans being stupid to be taken in by PRP saying 'look, we were all distracted by what was going on, I'll DEFINITELY manage it next season', him getting kept on and then nearly relegating us again.
This whole 'we're going to end the season' and ITFC. by BlueBadger 6 May 2020 17:50I assume we're still hoping for a season to go ahead because we need a set-in-stone excuse to sack our worst ever manager, with a presumably reduced compensation package.
Merely 'ending' the season would give him grounds for legal recourse, I suspect, because he could try arguing 'we still had a chance of promotion'.

I don’t think he will relegate is, but we could well stagnate in League 1 for 5 years.
Obviously he would be legally within his right to say he cannot be sacked at a reduced compensation, and Evans will certainly not him with a 5 year contract under his belt, especially with this £3m whole from Covid.
Hence I believe he’ll be here by the thread of a hair. | |

He'll probably be sacked before he relegated us again, in all fairness, but our post-October form doesn't offer much confidence in even challenging at the top end let alone staging a proper promotion challenge. | |

I think it depends. If the EFL rule that the season has been completed then we have a pretty strong legal case to sack him at the reduced pay off as he will have failed to take us up or to get us in the top 6. I would hope ME is seeking legal advice on it. The cost of keeping a highly paid but wholly incompetent manager will be far higher in the long run than taking a small hit now. |  |

When you look at the teams that are above us in the table it really hits home what a bad season we have had .
This close down might have saved the manager , but he really should be gone . |  | | |

That article in the EADT a few weeks ago was damming, more or less every local journalist reporting on League 1 picked Lambert as being the biggest car crash of the season. Those that mentioned other names usually went with the caveat of not going for Lambert in order to be different as he's such an obvious pick. He's been utterly incompetent. I have him clear of Jewell and Keane now I the inept manager stakes, he's on the heels of Hurst in terms of rank incompetence. | |

What makes his record even worse is that this has been in a lower division , he simply has failed to get the best out of the squad he had .
Whether it's the manager's bad decisions or bad tactics , the manager and the coach are accountable .
He's no novice manager learning his trade . | | | |

..........let's add to that by pointing out that he practically had a half season to prepare for Div 3 , was supported by Evans and had one of the best crop of youngsters that we've had for years. It wouldn't be too bad if it was possible to see something like a style or pattern of effective play but there's absolutely nothing. To finish around 10th or 11th with the squad we have is appalling. |  | | |

PL has undoubtedly got extremely fortunate in both the signing and length of his new contract and how the season has abruptly ended, but it also shows that perhaps we have higher expectations of our squad than we should have. Perhaps a lot of them are just average L1 players? Be honest, go through our squad.There's quite a few you'd say L1 is probably their level. [Post edited 11 May 2020 16:33]

Pretty much every local journalist in a town with a League 1 club disagrees with you. They all feel Lambert has massively underperformed with the squad at his disposal. | |

Try answering the question that I asked and be honest. I’m not disputing that PL has done a poor job, but is our squad that good? I’ll get you started... Holy - L1, Kenlock - L1/2, Wilson -L2 etc.. | |

Our squad is plenty good enough to get promoted from League 1. There, I've answered your question. | |

It's a legitimate answer to your question. Your notion of simply labelling individual players at a certain league level is rather pointless. Kenlock, for example, who I don't especially rate, has played 50+ games in the Championship and was mostly okay, especially prior to 2017/18 when playing alongside decent players who knew how to play together. We have players in our squad who have been top League 1 players - Nsiala, Edwards, Nolan - none of whom I especially rate and none of whom would get into a full strength Town side.
So I think it's pretty clear, and the pundits and other managers seem to agree, that we have a squad that should be more than capable of getting promoted. You don't agree, that's abundantly clear, you won't listen to any counter argument, that is also abundantly clear, so there's really not much value in continuing. | |

You have no idea what legal case we have as you don’t know what is written into his contract
However, if there are indeed break clauses which relate to failure this season as has been reported, I would hazard a guess that Lambert would equally have a strong argument that those clauses don’t apply as the season was not completed in totality. Force majeure-type clauses would presumably apply here
Also, I believe it has been suggested previously that clauses may relate to us missing the playoffs - in which case Lambert’s case would likely be even stronger, as you can’t technically fail to qualify for something that doesn’t exist
Ultimately, we can only hope Evans agrees that his performance here has been appalling, and is willing to make a change whatever it costs |  |

Not pointless, it’s an opinion. Most pundits make a prediction based on the fact we played in a higher league last season, so not really that conclusive. I very much stand by what I’ve said, as you’ve alluded to we’ve got a fair few in our squad that are L1, although I doubt Kenlock, Nsiala or Nolan would be in demand by any of the current top 6. You’re right time to move on, but it’s ok for posters to have differing opinions. You think our squad is good enough, I don’t. It’s fine, I don’t have to agree with you. | |

Although you'd think that if we had an incompetent manager and a middling League 1 squad we wouldn't be as high as 10th. I'm not sure how you square the squad being average with the manager being inept when we're 10th. | |

Since 1st November, we are 17th in the form table having played more games than every other club (several clubs we've played 3 more games than). You cannot possibly think the players we have are lower mid table to relegation quality in L1? Lambert has been absolutely hopeless and enormously under achieved with the players he has at his disposal. | | | |

I think you are right about the squad being good enough to get out of League One. We would have struggled again in the Championship but that is based on Paul's poor performance the last time we were there and the players we lost. He really has managed the team poorly but says nice things. Have we forgotten the rotation nonsense and his stubbornness in persisting when it was an obvious disaster. You are only foolish if you don't learn from your mistakes in any walk of life. Covid-19 crisis has saved him from the certain sacking that was going to occur at the end of the season. |  | | |
