TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2014 Well I've heard that Lambert's new assistant manager is sorted and its certainly a big name. Not one I'd have guessed and not sure many would. I won't/can't say who it is so please don't clog the thread up asking or send loads of PM's, it will break soon enough or I will say when I can. Feel free to dismiss this if you want given I've not named him, given some of the vague stuff people post I wouldn't blame you. But I've absolutely no reason to doubt this information is accurate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent you know we all believe you to be fairly knowledgeable regarding the club, only question i'll ask is do you know what sort of time frame we're looking at regarding the new assistant being announced?

TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2014 No I don't, I'd guess pretty soon though. With the next few day/week I would guess but I don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Interesting. Thanks Trent. I just hope that, by 'big name', you don't mean long with many letters. Prince Sunshine Agibooboo the Third, leader of the Tikabanana Tribe, for example, would only be a slight improvement on Culverhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't think it has a huge baring on whether a takeover is close. Lambert needs to plan for next season 'just in case' (a takeover doesn't happen/ the new owner wants to keep him). Even if a takeover was planned to go through on the 1st of July, it doesn't make sense for Lambert to not have a team in place 'just in case' it is required. They could always have 1 year rolling contracts (or less) to keep any payout down to a minimum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think that any new owner would look independently at Lambert's last 2 seasons and realise fairly quickly that the performances are pitiful and he has no good will amongst the fans? Any new owner will want to get the fans on side? How would Lerner have been accepted if DOL had been left in charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted June 2, 2014 Author Moderator Share Posted June 2, 2014 I've said as much as I can, short if saying the name I can't say anything else. I could have just not said anything as I did when I knew Kersa and Culverhouse were going, although I hinted at the issue. I'm not arsing about with silly hints or exclamation marks and I don't want to give the impression I know more than I do. I'm just sharing what I know or rather can. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 The Telegraph said a while back that Lambert had been given the green light to recruit a new assistant regardless of the takeover situation. http://tinyurl.com/nze5tru Seems fair enough as I imagine the roles are important enough to fill even if only for a short time. Not sure this tells us much either way on the takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
