1. We haven't hit a release clause in his contract.
2. The scrapping of the Salary Cap.
With the salary cap being removed, there's less urgency to go up this year, of the players out of contract, I can't see many teams rushing to take them on, so Evans has been put back in the driving seat on that. It also means we can shift some deadwood in the summer.
But the change in urgency is likely to lessen the pressure on Lambert to get back up this year.
Evans clearly doesn't want to pay any further severance fees and is waiting to hit a break clause. I believe ME's increased influence on our playing style this year, may well come down to Lambert escaping a break clause last summer owing to Covid.
We may well have missed out on the play offs, which is a suspected clause, but Lambert had a very legitimate reason to reject any break clause as the season finished prematurely. It could be Evans tried to remove him in the Summer under a contract clause, and couldn't.
I think we've got Lambert until we mathematically cannot reach the play offs. Season ticket renewals, I suspect, may well be delayed because of this. |  |

Lambert really has had nine lives at this club. The shambles he inherited gave him a free pass for his first year in charge. Then COVID let him off the hook in his second. And now just as even Evans was surely on the point of having to admit it’s all been another horrible mistake, the salary cap gets scrapped and the do or die promotion imperative disappears overnight.
It really is incredible when you think about it! |  | | |

Also no fans in the ground or large-scale protests allowed. If there was I think Lambert would've been long gone. |  | | |

I doubt if anyone would have offered any manager, anywhere, a contract without clauses in it. |  |

Well it’s pretty obvious Evans was keen to give lambert a five year deal , the ball was in his court on what went into that contract | | | |

Don't see it, to be honest.
If it's performance-related then at this stage it wouldn't be difficult to reach a mutual agreement on it. We're now statistically very unlikely to make the play-offs under Lambert, so you'd just offer him a fraction of it settle it early.
If it's time-related, the total money involved remains the same whether he's in post or not. The only difference is whether you give it to him as salary or as pay off. Unless they think he's still going to be in charge next season, then the absolute maximum saving you'd make is 3 months of wages for his successor. |  |
