GENTLEMAN Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 And his last season got us more points than our previous 2 and potentially more than this current year. Totally different. Judge Lambert at the end of year three if you are going to compare him to DOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggy Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Lambert is NOT the problem. A bigger problem is the lack of patience and understanding from certain supporters who live in a fantasy world and expect everything to be perfect. Get real guys. Comments like this sort of lose any credence with unnecessary embellishment like this.Isa it is not unnecessary embellishment when you have "some" supporters admitting they will never lessen their high expectations (perfection), which causes all sorts of problems for a club looking to rebuild slowly. Lambert is being judged on the wrong criteria IMO.Wrong criteria? What do we judge a manager on then if not results?It is dangerous to judge purely on a few disappointing results in a "long term" project. The end of next season will tell us more about the direction we are going under Lambert.It's been more than just a few disappointing results though and he has the unfortunate trend of setting bad records which doesn't look like getting better anytime soon. It's just foolhardy to try try and defend those records at the moment whether you are referring in the short or long term and you cannot judge a manager in the present what he may or may not do in the future. For me that's a far more dangerous thing to do. Edited March 15, 2014 by shaggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers13 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I could talk about owners until the cows come how... .....Its all about managers and their staff for me. Sturridge - 12 mill Bent - c 20 mill just a little tiny drop of criteria in a Vat of excuses. says it all for me. Ps no doubt someone will say just one incident, because I couldn't be bothered to write the boat load. Look at pools other transfers under Rodgers though, they're surprisingly bad. No one hits all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 And there you go. Why would you lower expectations when we can do that? Gutted I'm on a stag party in Newcastle and missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Maybe we can attribute our poor home form specifically to your negativity BJ? The weekend you're in Newcastle, they lose and we beat Chelsea after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 There's a guy who sits behind me who was moaning and shouting abuse all game. He does the same most games, irrespective of the score. So I'm fairly relieved that you were in Newcastle BJ10, because I genuinely thought it might be you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Sorry, would you have preferred a winky smiley? <br /> <br /> I'm saying that I'm relieved that he's not the moaning rocket polisher who sits behind me. Nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis_B Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Great, one result and everyone seems happy with our absent owner - fickle or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Great, one result and everyone seems happy with our absent owner - fickle or what? I'm certainly not happy! Lerner out still, he has been behind the incredible dip we have been on, the bad management, naivety, terrible decisions and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suttonpaul Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 A lot of the posts that would have been in this thread went in the accounts thread which then spilled into the Lambert thread based off the conclusions of the accounts thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chap of Steel Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 As much as the horror stories of the Vincent Tans of the world worry me, I don't think we will ever do anything more than exist in the Premier League under Lerner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suttonpaul Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Don't you people understand that with new FFP rules that no owner can just drop a wad of cash on players anymore? Books have to be balanced. Now if you were arguing for Paul Faulkner to be replaced I would understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 FFP is useless anyway and clubs don't need to follow those rules. They break the constitution of EU. So if this is Randys excuse for not spending money he is backing the wrong horse cause I think the UEFA will lose the case in the link. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/01/10/sport/football/financial-fair-play-uefa-football/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
