Lambert: This Will Change the Face of the Game
Friday, 26th Jun 2020 11:41

Blues boss Paul Lambert believes the crisis in football created by the coronavirus pandemic will lead to change which will be beneficial the game longer term.

Lambert says it’s been a tough situation to deal with as a manager given all the uncertainty with no date yet set for the start of the 2020/21 season.

“The health and safety of people is obviously the most important thing through all of this,” Lambert told the club site.

“From a job point of view though, it’s been as hard a challenge as I’ve had as a manager for different reasons.

“There are a lot of questions out there and not many answers. We are continuously in the unknown. You can’t plan for anything and it’s been as frustrating as hell.

“Going forward, I think this will change the face of the game though. It could actually prove to be beneficial for football long term. It might bring everyone together.

“Clubs won’t have the money to go and spend this and that either, and you’ll find that youngsters will get a chance. Supporters will be fine with that. I’ll be fine with that.

“We have got a good group of youngsters coming through here and we will look to develop them into first-team players over time.”

Don't worry Evans haters. If what I've read numerous times is corrrect then after Newcadtle have been sold, Mike Ashley supposedly wants to buy the club. Happy Days!!

martin587- fully agree the appointed managers have major blame to take, but you also can't argue Evans' track record of appointments is just dreadful, then without any obvious reason gives the current underperforming incumbent a big contract extension. Are we just to keep our fingers crossed that given enough pops at it he might at some point get lucky?

I'm fine with people posting things that are the opposite of my thoughts but when they do so using such terms as deluded they devalue their own opinion particularly those who openly declare that they don't go to games !!!!

Martin, sorry that should read 'funds' the managers. If you can't see that 80% of the reason town are in the sorry state they are is down to Evans then sorry I can't help you.

Bluearmy, I believe he would be. He knows how to make money so I think he would invest until we got to the Prem then stop and sell up for a profit and we'd struggle badly in the Premier League, but I'd swap our current position with Norwich's at the bottom of the Prem any day.

"The first think football should do is stop the loan market. This way it stops all of the big clubs with all money signing every player they can get their hands on and loaning them all out.
The likes of Man City and Chelsea will have to do their checks and get the right players.
Those players trying to make a name for themselves will HAVE TO sign for lower clubs and then if they do make progress, the lesser clubs can then profit from the Sale.
Players will not want to sign for the bigger clubs if they are not going to play at all and will therefore WANT to play the lesser clubs otherwise they will be out of work
Clubs will then play with their own players, who want to play and do well for their club and not look forward to the season end to get back to the BIG Club...only to be loaned out...again.
Luke Garbutt is a prime example of this, at a big(ish) club being paid big money...being loaned out..again...and now has no club and will have to reassess his demands.
Trevoh Chalobah was out Player of the Season...but will never play for Chelsea, but is on great wages...because he is a Chelsea player. I doubt many Championship sides could afford his wages !!!
The game needs to get back to basics...simple"

This is BRILLIANT idea heathen66...you should be working at the FA! This would help all the lower league clubs below the Premiership and close the gap between all the leagues for the teams who loan players and then have to give them back and then start from square one again the following season. Why has no one though of this before? We need to start a petition at the FA!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Lambert says "Clubs won't have the money to go and spend this and that either, and you'll find that youngsters will get a chance. Supporters will be fine with that. I'll be fine with that".

YOU'LL STILL PICK THE COMPLETELY USELESS AND INEPT NO.4 AND NO.8 FOR EACH GAME UNTIL THEY DRAG US DOWN INTO NON LEAGUE FOOTBALL!!!

“Clubs won't have the money to go and spend this and that either,"

They don't have the cash now and most are in terrible debt. Players wages is what is killing finances - until clubs have a collective "No" to wage demands, this will not change.

The buck absolutely stops with Evans. We are headed rapidly for extinction under him.

I like Lambert, he has done all he can to reconnect fans with the club (basically Evans job), but he has done nothing to make me think he'll lift us out of this league.
