abc123cox Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Still totally on the fence with Lambert as our new manager but the signs are very encouraging he is starting to make the required changes. Hopefully we will have a new team come the start of the season and one to be proud of. hopefully mate but we all need to be realistic and know it's not going to be a quick fix, i'm sure next season will start to see the true lambert team! a lot of deadwood will still need to be off loaded...and not many clubs will look at our players due to last season's form! however Lambert may get the best out of everyone and we could have the new Cafu lol or next Maldini haha ok maybe not that much... i can not wait till the start of the season...most excited i've been in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 He's overhauling the scouting system. Good stuff. :notworthy: Wasn't my first choice of manager but maybe he is the man to lead the revolution? Thank god he is doing this, our scouting network was utter bollocks. Numan was meant to scout Holland for the season and turned up with Holman, what a waste of scouting time that was. Instead of sending him there for a year he could have just boght a copy of football manager 12 and searched for players in the last year of their contracts. Surely that would have been more cost effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of sending him there for a year he could have just boght a copy of football manager 12 and searched for players in the last year of their contracts. Surely that would have been more cost effective To be fair to him, McCleish probably didn't tell him to look for the next Bergkamp or any of those tricky, unpredictable "technical" or "creative" players, likely just told him to look for experience and hard work on the cheap. We all saw how Eck handled technically skilled players at Blues (say, Hleb and, holy crap, remember De Ridder? "I said to Danny a while back that I felt if we were more of a passing team, I may think about him more." :shock: ), can't say I'm surprised we ended up with a grafter. Also, we don't know who might've actually been scouted and/or suggested by Numan, we just know who Rinus McMichels chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazdavies79 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Somebody who I think is ITK but statistically speaking knows FA, has posted something somewhere about us signing someone. I'm just going to look @twatter to see if someone else has read the same post and tweeted it. If so, I think there is a high possibility it might be true.

BOF Posted July 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 2, 2012 Interesting Baz, keep us briefed ! If you factor in that it is now July (and not June) then it becomes even more definite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
