He is now saying what we all knew was the case regarding the running of the club.
My question is why he sat on his hands for so long and let the club fall apart. Despite his comments when he first arrived slagging off how previous managers and leadership.
If he would have stayed like he did the first 3 months and stayed honest with fans and criticised the running of the club when required I think the fans may have stayed on his side |  |

End of the day, compared to some clubs, ITFC is a fantastic job for managers to have, the owner leaves you to it. Yes there are questions about missing certain thing behind the scenes, but he's had the luxury of time and no pressure.
Again as mentioned in other thread, Lambert's actual management of the team has been awful since day one. the facts speak for themselves, he's just desperate to make it out to be ME's fault now |  |

Spot on. Just using it as a smoke screen to deflect the issues away from his failings. All very desperate. |  |

Couldn’t agree more. If you have a competent, honest and committed manager in place, Evans’ ‘over-to-you structure’ works. But, as we have found out to our cost, it is flawed when the man in place isn’t any of those things. Qualified, Ipswich-Loving and knowledgable DoF urgently needed at ITFC. |  | | |

Fans turned, eventually, because it turns out Lambert is utterly hopeless as a manager. Plenty cut him slack in the Championship because of the mess he inherited, but it quickly became apparent that actually Lambert is just crap. Can't coach a side, can't set a side up, really poor man manager. What he says publicly makes no difference and if you'd have carried on backing him purely for criticising the club then you're a mug. He's been here 2 and a half years, he's had plenty of time to address issues behind the scenes at the club but it's just yet another area where he's completely failed, and no amount of spin to the press will change that. |  |

Lambert is a dreadful manager and needs to go. This won’t solve all of our problems though. Getting rid of lambert is just the first step in the changes we need ... the first and easiest step unfortunately |  |

All his sucesss at Norwich was down to Ian Culverhouse, the first team coach. I sense if we lose today it will be the end for him. Let’s hope . | | | |

I want us to win today and win well. Today's result means nothing now in terms of his departure. Lambert is a dead man walking. |  | | |

We’ve been saying that for weeks and PL is still here. You forget we’ve got an owner that lacks leadership and ultimately wants out. His lack of action highlights he really doesn’t care about the club. Can see this situation drifting on for a bit yet. | |

I cant ever want us to lose so as usual these days i will be watching more in hope than expectation but it does worry me that a win might well keep him his job ! |  | | |

I wouldn't worry. After all that has gone on this week he is finished here whatever the results. | | | |

The weight of evidence says it doesn't work. For my money this is a combination of some managerial incompetence but also a manager can only do so much. A proper club set up is owner who empowers, CEO who knows the business, DoF who helps identify players and gets deals done with a strategy from above and below and a manager who owns the footballing side. We don't have anywhere near that set up.
MM was the only vaguely successful tenure because he was experienced and skilled enough to basically do a bit of everything and run the first team.
We can sack Lambert and hope for better but I'd be hesitant to say it was bad luck and poor managerial appointments alone that have given us 15 years of failure.
The common denominator is Evans. Evans seems to have lost all interest or semblance of ownership. We are an absolute cluster from top to bottom. [Post edited 20 Feb 2021 8:59]

Fingers crossed but this is Marcus Evans we are talking about ! | | | |

MM kept his counsel and didn’t really mention the constraints he was working under. It only really came to light once he’d left. That doesn’t make it right. Even if ME makes another decent managerial appointment once PL leaves, it’s just covering the cracks with a plaster. Where’s the longevity? Until ME either recognises this for himself and does something about it or he decides to sell up and moves on nothing is really going to change apart from the team winning more regularly, it doesn’t solve the underlying issues we have. Without doubt PL needs to go, but a new manager would only be a temporary fix before the old problems resurface again. | |

As you say today’s result is irrelevant in terms of what happens to the Manager. Evans sacked Magilton 2 days after the last time we beat the Budgies... | |
