If that's true I'd back them to go down

Yeah though Megson and McLaren also linked - I'd rather have Lambo than either of those two

Might make a profit on Ben Marshall yet...

 

[Lupo]

Ryan Giggs to be named new Wales manager tomorrow. Some Blues fans reckoned he was going to replace Cotterill

 

[lemonjelly]

Happy to manage them, yet never really wanted to play for them...

 

[Keef]

Rumours are the Welsh FA are looking for someone to manage the Welsh team in friendlies that Ryan giggs can't be bothered with

 

[Penk Wolf]

Lambert to be announced as the new Stoke boss later on this morning.

 

[Penk Wolf]

And has now been announced.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Football is just so incredibly weird at times. Villa sacked him as they were hurtling towards relegation. Since then what exactly has he done to rebuild his reputation? Why, when we know he is at least their fourth choice after Rowett, Flores and O'Neill, have they handed an unemployed manager who's recently been reduced to talking to Richard fucking Keys in the desert a multi-year deal?

 

[Nando]

Hahahahaha. Superb.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

What a bizarre appointment.

The state of the managers that have been appointed by Premier League teams so far this season. I know Moyes & Allardyce have got some decent results but are the likes of those two plus Pardew & Lambert really the best that people can come up with?

Makes me all the more smug that we have Nuno.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Allardyce has not done a very good job at all.

Moyes has done alright to a point and Hodgson has done very well (but he's always been a good manager to a point, my issue with him is that he's 70 so where is the long term planning in it)

 

[Keef]

Have a look at their forum,unhappy is an understatement

 

[Penk Wolf]

Everton could have gone for a more out of the box appointment as they were obviously punching well below their weight. Moyes and Pardew have gone for the safe option, which makes some sense when you are facing a relegation battle. Lambert makes no sense what so ever.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Everton had no need to go for someone who more or less purely deals in grim relegation battles these days. As it is they're now playing that brand of football where you aim for a 0-0 first, hardly having a shot and they're back on a shit run. I think they'll end up getting rid of him at the end of the season, it was a needlessly cautious (and stupidly expensive) appointment.

Their fans already hate him and with good cause.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Allardyce has not done a very good job at all.

I hadn't really been paying too much attention but thought he'd overseen an upturn in form. Having just looked at their recent results, you are quite right! I'd obviously fallen for Big Sam talking himself up all the time.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Stoke's forum is a fucking dream today.

:icon_lol:

 

[Keef]

Stoke's forum is a $#@!ing dream today.

:icon_lol:

It's the gift that keeps giving,I'll nip back over later for a laugh

Oatcake.
