Tomaszk Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 That'll be the last of him for quite some time in the EFL. He'll have to go to Scotland to get a job I think. Was genuinely tricky to make that Ipswich team look as bad as they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I think some overrate how good Ipswich are based on their name, they should be doing better but their squad isn't that great even by League One standards, they've also had a lot injuries and players out with covid this season. I don't think Lambert will have any trouble finding another club, wouldn't be surprised to see him get a championship team. if Lambert does leave I hope they get Cook, as have been concerned he might end up at small heath, as he apparently applied for that job in the summer, but was turned down.

Zatman Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Cant agree, its definitely a squad better than 11th in League 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Well I said that they should be doing better, but their squad is not as good as some make it out to be, I'm not sure if that's because they can't see past the name Ipswich and think that they should be doing well in League One just because of their name, or they know very well that their squad isn't that great but say otherwise because of some obssesion with painting Lambert in a worse light than is the reality of the situation - notice this thread gets bumped when Ipswich lose a game, but not when they win a game. They're five points off the play offs, with a game in hand over the team in sixth place, and have had to contend with a lot of injuries and most of their squad catching covid. Edited February 27, 2021 by useless Edit I looked at the table wrong, they haven't got a game in hand over the team in sixth place, but do have a game in hand over the other three teams in the play-offs.

Xela Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Another payoff for Lambert then I guess? Surely he can't get another job. Edited February 28, 2021 by Xela 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I think Paul Cook is a big coup for them if that's who's replacing him, no idea why a championship club hasn't given him a job, Sheffield Wednesday have been without a manager since Decemember.

Mark Albrighton Posted February 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28, 2021 It happens often enough so it shouldn’t really register, but I always find it slightly weird when a manager is let go after a victory, no matter how poorly they were doing before. I know work behind the scenes may delay a sacking, but still. Maybe it’s because we don’t ever seem to do that, not sure who the last one was. Houllier maybe, but that was rather different and he wasn’t in charge of the final couple of games. O’Leary ended with a win, but the takeover happened so again not really the same. Gregory quit after a win, I don’t believe Atkinson or Little were dismissed after victories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
