Finished Wolves and Blackburn weren't 'epic failures' by any stretch of the imagination, which is why he probably isn't finished at Championship level. I would agree that he's probably finished at PL level though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J woukd definitely call that a epic failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke surely had a clause in the contract that if they went down he could be sacked without compo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can certainly argue that it wasn't a success, especially in light of Nuno's success this season, but improving the club's league position cannot possibly be considered an 'epic failure'.

I deem it as big failure. Ok there was some problems there but they h'ads the likes of costa there signed for 13m and he should have done much better than he did. Lambert is shit. He is done now in premier league and id even go as far as say in championship also. His bwst shit is taking over Scotland or maybe if he is lucky Celtic. Even a useless manager like him can be a success there and he is deemed a legend up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is he's gone down hardly winning a game. Carvahal at Swansea won 5 games and was still let go. I always feel when a side goes down it's better to start afresh. Bit like if we'd kept Garde on even when we were losing every week the negativity would've just carried onto the next season. Of course there are expections, Dyche at Burnley although he was close to joining Sunderland when Burnley were relegated in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
