AVFCforever1991 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Lambert is like O'Neill but better IMHO. He doesn't make his 1st sub at 70 minutes in every game. He also has some tactical awareness. He's like MON without the bad parts Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted April 27, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2012 He's gone up in my estimations now he's proven he can hack this league. Previously I'd been concerned he may not step up. So I'd take him without a seconds notice now. But I sincerely doubt it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If anything, Rodgers is more of a flash in the pan. Did poor jobs at Watford and Reading, Lambert hasn't failed in any of his jobs. Why do you think Rodgers did a poor job at Watford? Watford are hardly one of the power-houses of the Championship and he finished mid-table. Admittedly he had a shakey start - but he must have been doing something right for Reading to poach him in the first place. Additionally, Lambert quite clearly failed in his first job at Livingstone as he resigned after 5 wins in 32 games. For what it's worth, I think either would be a marked improvement on the dross we have seen this season. I also echo the respect for Martinez. Although I do think Martinez and Rodgers would find instant success harder, which is why Lambert is a slight preference. Moreover, those who are criticising Coyle via Lambert's record in the lower leagues would do well to note that Coyle made a half-decent effort of things at little old Burnley.

johndunse Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Quotes on Sky from Lambert saying the Villa link is unfair on Mcleish (sorry, unable to provide link). No denial though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-67 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think Rodgers might get found out a little next season as clubs get used to the way Swansea play. They will push forward and press their players much more. If Rodgers really is as good as some think, he'll adjust to this pressure and overcome it. If he does that, then I think he'll be a top boss. I like the way he conducts himself. Would prefer Martinez or Lambert. First choice Lambert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endof Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 **** brilliant you know i never thought about that but what a clever bunch the Villa are,think about it put a B.S rumour around Lambert a couple of weeks before we play them in the last game of the season,even contact his agent,really get the ball rolling without an official approach, looks like we staying up as thats 3 points in the bag for us..........somebody is a genius whoever thought of this :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's exactly who I've wanted since before we got McLeish so I'd be over the moon. Yup agree with this. He's a fantastic manager and i too wanted him before we went and got McLeish. There'd be such a huge uplift to the club if we did.... it's too good to be true unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Maybe we can strike some kind of deal with him, you let us win on the last day of the season, potentially keeping us in the league and we'll sack MacLeish there and then and give you the job! To any Norwich fans possibly reading, I'm not saying he would jump ship to come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's exactly who I've wanted since before we got McLeish so I'd be over the moon. erm, why, he's this seasons Owen Coyle see his results for March/April alone How about looking at the table and judging him over the whole season? How about comparing his league position to his squad? Pretty much all of his players are Championship players or worse. He gets results. he has anywhere he's been. Lambert is the future. I just really really hope he's part of our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
