DCJonah Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Which is what people have a problem with. Him not resigning is not proof that he is happy with the funds he has. I think that, combined with signing a new deal and praising the owner is more proof that he has no issue with it than anything to suggest he does have a real issue with it. I can only base my opinion on what facts are out there. What facts suggest he has issues with it?But now you say that he wants to do better. So you seem to have gone back on your original post. Even if you haven't, again him not resigning is in now way proof that he is perfectly happy to survive. There's no way you could know that. Of course he wants to do better what manager wouldn't? But at the same time he knows his job is safe as long as he survives so he's happy to do that and happy to stay in the job.There's no way you could know that. You could respond to 90% of the posts made on this site with this. Guess I'm the lucky one you've decided to hit it with. Of course I don't know it, its my opinion based on what I see, just like 99% of the posts on a football forum. The lack of resignation and the acceptance of a new contract is, at most, proof that Lambert isn't SO unhappy with the constraints upon him that he is willing to give up his employment, pay off and part of his reputation to get out. So happy to continue working under these financial restraints. Think thats what I said.In reality, neither you or I have any clue how happy Lambert is in the job. Again, the most we can conclude is that he's not so utterly miserable that he's been forced to quit. No but we can base it on what we see and i'd say a manager working for 3 years, signing a 4 year contract and constantly talking about the good relationship he has with his boss is probably happy on that job. I hope he is happy to continue because if he's not and he's just waiting for a pay off then he'd be causing serious damage and risking relegation.

YLN Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Saw something great on here recently. Someone suggested sacking Lambert and bringing him in as a scout. So so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P3te Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Saw something great on here recently. Someone suggested sacking Lambert and bringing him in as a scout. So so good. That was me. He seems to have an eye for a player, but no idea what to do with them once he signs them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 14, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) DCJ, You've moved the goalposts. What you're saying now makes some sense, although I still strongly disagree with your first point. That doesn't prove anything. THere's no proof that he's unhappy with it either. Like I said, neither of us know. BUt there's no proof that he's happy. You might think he's happy, bu that's very different from "proof" I'd argue that the fact that we can all clearly see that the funding is inadequate is more of an indication that he might be unhappy with it. I'd question any manager's sanity if they were happy with the funding we're getting. What you said originally doesn't make sense, so thanks for the clarification.

I'd question any manager's sanity if they were happy with the funding we're getting. I think we agree but just on the word happy. I don't mean it as he's jumping for joy and pleased with what he gets. But he is happy to work under those conditions. Not smiling, dancing and thinking he's got the best job in the world but happy to manage and build the squad with what he's given.

Villanun Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wow! How bitter is Matt Kendrick towards Lambert? It's badly written, full of cliches and poorly punctuated, I'll give you that, but then I've never liked Kendrick's writing style and he desperately needs a better copy editor. But bitter? Isn't it just saying what a lot of us have been saying for a long time? It's clearly presented as an opinion piece rather than fact, so I have no problem with it.

Mammoth10 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Wow! How bitter is Matt Kendrick towards Lambert? Bitter??? It's spot on in my view! I know they had a falling out last year but there's nothing in that article to disagree with. The Lambert we have now is not the bloke 3000 chanted for at Norwich away all those years ago. If an article like this can kick him up the arse and have a go instead of this negative crap football I think we will all laud it. Lambert looks like he is here to stay for now at least but he needs to know it's not good enough and we deserve better. It may be spot on at this point in time but Kendrick has been angling for this for the past couple of years now, he definitely is driven by a personal vendetta that just now happens to be what a bigger section of the fans now agree with, he's eventually 'got lucky' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something that has made you form your opinion. It is not "proof". That's my point, the word happy. originally you said he had "no issues with funding" You've now changed to he's "happy to work under financial constraints" I completely agree with the second sentence. I completely disagree with the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Can you two just get a room, please. Why do the rest of us have to watch you have the same argument over and over again on every page of this thread, as well as several others scattered around the forum?

Guest av1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Dear oh dear. Sometimes extreme negativity can just take over the mind. It's evidently clear any player he has brought over 3mill has been a good purchase. The rest from the bargin bin where always going to be hit and miss. Gabby and andi. Two of our biggest problems are nothing to do with Lambert. But Lambert continues to pick these problems week in week out, surely that is his problem?

snowychap Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 That article is an utter disgrace as for me it smacks of someone using their position in a personal vendetta not unbiased reporting It's a comment/opinion piece.
