Isa Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wouldn't it be ironic if a new regime appointed MON. Now that would be something. I think there is already sufficient irony in the fact we've gone full circle under Lerner and ended up with his clone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two may both have a close relationship and have links to Celtic but most of O'Neill's defining traits are not shared by Lambert and vice versa.

In fact, I did a post outlining the similarities between them a couple of weeks ago. The only major difference in my eyes is the transfer policy.

sharkyvilla Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I bet Lambert would have loved the money O'Neill had to spend. We certainly wouldn't be playing like this at the arse end of the table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The only reason I can think of, and it's a big one, is because they don't know enough about the club or sport yet to have "their own man". Likely they'd see how lambert did on a reasonable budget, but by no means big one, maybe the same transfer fees but a bit of relaxation on the wages, and see how that fares. Did Lerner keep DOL? There's no way new owners haven't paid attention to the club recently so there's no way they'd have not seen how awful it's been. I just can't see any reason why they'd keep him.

Jarpie Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Anyone who's buying any kind of business, club or anything would've investigated everything possible about their possible acquisition unless they are utterly moronic. I'd expect our potential new owners to give a very thorough look at our team and manager, and get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New owners obviously has done their research about their new ownership. That includes the current manager, which haven't done much positive so far. Lambert is doomed imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I guess so much for stability at Man U with Moyes sacked. We should now do the same with Lambert and get Moyes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Takeover or not, I'd give Lambert until Christmas. If we're still in the doldrums by then then its time to shake hands & wish each other well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 While more money will help I don't think its just a lack of cash that has us playing awful football, sees formations and tactics that don't work and is why Lambert so often fails to react to how a game is going. I'm not sure what Lambert has done in these 2 years that make people think a few more months will completly change things. To have a season like last year and not progress I think shows any more time given to Lambert will be wasted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug sacked DOL and hired MON. MON agreed to sign under Doug on the proviso that there was a new owner coming in and he would get money to spend. Lerner had planned to bring Klinsman in but decided to see how Doug's new appointment got on instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way MON would have taken the job and risked being replaced a few weeks later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After nearly 2 seasons he still have no clue what his best formation is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
