I said a couple months ago something positive for Lambert etc, but I’m wanting a change of manager now. The club needs a reset.
Whilst a new owner would be welcomed, I think Evans financially supports the club as best as he can. There will always be the argument of how another owner would pump more money in etc, the realist would say he’s not going to buy ITFC. What we miss is the middle man between Evans and the manager - more on a football perspective.
Lambert’s time is up. Results aren’t good enough. Performances aren’t good enough. Style of play and combinations aren’t evident or known. Going forwards is not good enough. Defensively not good enough. It just isn’t working. If it was me personally, I’d support Kieron Dyer and Terry Butcher. I’m not interested in the Cowley brothers at all - I don’t think they’d set us up to get the best out of the good players we actually have.
The players need to look at themselves too. I appreciate LW interview yesterday but less talk, more action as a footballer. You do the basics regardless of who is in charge. There’s a revamp with the players. Some should be sold/released, some should be loaned out and the rest have a role for me.
Keep: Holy, Wright, Ward, Chambers, Wilson, Woolfenden, KVY, Edwards, Lankester, Bishop, Judge, Downes, Dozzell, El Miz, Dobra, McGavin, Jackson, Norwood, Hawkins
Sell/release: Cornell, Skuse, Donacian, Nsiala, Kenlock, Huws, Sears
50/50: Nolan (I like him and feel we can get goals out of him, but there’s 3/4 I’d start over him)
Loan out: Ndaba, Nydam, Drinan
On loan: McGuinness, Bennetts (I’d try and keep permanently) |  |

If we had top players fit and played them in correct position with right formation we could get promoted.
Jackson/Norwood - scored 20 goals in 18 games last season with rotated formation. Play them as a front two again with a settled side and watch things get better.
Judge has to play in central role behind front players. He can’t play wide.
Edwards is best wide player on left in league
Downes, Dozzell, Nolan and Teddy middle is amazing midfield
Lankerster is a great young player and getting better
Back 4. Wilson is essential and I would play him with Wolfie. But honestly I would ask Wilson who he wants to play with as he is our best defender.
KVT left back
I would invest in another very good center forward. It has to be someone who can play with Norwood. Although I would like to look at Hawkins/Norwood together. |  | | |

We could start by getting in a director of football from another club who has proven success in hiring a decent coach/manager like Norwich did with Huddersfield.
At least we would have proper contingency plans when things start going wrong rather than desperately clinging to failed managers like we nearly always do. |  | | |

Sporting director with the ability and autonomy to run the club is what we need ala Norwich.
Delia hasn’t made good decisions over the course of her ownership but they’ve got their act together in the last 12 years by letting people manage the club. |  | | |

You've named a starting line up of 12 players there, and we've still got no right back or goalkeeper. [Post edited 10 Jan 2021 18:07]

I think it'll be a big ask to offload 7 players in January. If you mean in the Summer, renewing contracts for Chambers, Ward, Wilson and Judge seems like a pretty unambitious use of what will be very scarce resources. |  |
