I hear the "constraints" argument a lot. It simply doesn't wash with me.
I know Lambert has had a limited budget - but what club outside the top 4 doesn't? I don't believe he has got the best out of even this limited squad. I don't see him building anything that resembles a plan in the way we play. In fact, I'd even wager that the football we play now hasn't improved from what we saw when he was still getting to grips with the squad at the beginning of last season.
We don't have the budget to compete with the big boys. We may never have. So we need to play better, smarter football. I don't see anything in the shamozzle of the last 2 seasons that suggests Lambert can do that - even with a bigger budget and more time.
This is the main reason why he has lost my support and why in the main many fans have turned.
Thankfully his intent doesn't mean dog shit. Its up to Lerner.
