Lambert: will be confirmed Thursday, he is in Germany, so an announcement delayed until his return.

Yh I saw pat Murphy say he was out there till Thursday watching a game (got of been Celtic) and he was catching up with some " contacts " and Tim Nash saying Fosun want to a point before sat, and I agree I expect it to be lambert.

I'm sure Lambert has got the job. He is the best of the Brit candidates. His international credentials will help us with player recruitment as well.
Effectively his first game in charge will be after the international break. If he's in place by Thursday that gives him time to speak to the players before the Derby match. If he's watching that match from the stands, the players should bust a gut to impress him.

So we are getting a jock strap?! Of the ones on offer I'd have to say lambert, Pearson in that order. Very close though and I may even put Pearson slightly in front because at least you can understand what he says. Also speaks the queens English as in will be understood by our foreign contingent and the odd verbiage that he would expound will be universal as in know all around the world.! He also says it as it is. Will he get on with Jeff shi? That's another question all by its self. Whichever one it is, he needs to be given time and backing by the supporters. 😉.

Pearson is a complete loose cannon and he's had his failures too. Not for me.
02 Nov 2016 12:36:58
At least when he tells you to foxtrot Oscar peterobbo, you would understand him? With Lambert you may have to ask him to repeat a few times before you got it? 😉.

Sky Sports claiming it's Lambert but nobody else. Don't know what they think they know. But probably a good choice.
He's not difficult to understand at all!
02 Nov 2016 15:26:13
Betting suspended think will be before Thursday.
02 Nov 2016 15:41:24
Lyndon5 so what you're saying it's today then? As today is the last day before Thursday 😂😂.
02 Nov 2016 15:45:42
Lamberts the best choice really, did a fantasic job with Norwich even made Grant Holt one top english forwards! Managed to keep villa in the prem even with all their issues and bad owners and kept Blackburn in the championship lastseason when they looked set to go down.
02 Nov 2016 15:55:48
Nice one WOLVESCOAST, but in fact I've never had any difficulty understanding him and I'm from the south coast too originally!
02 Nov 2016 16:39:48
Dour, miserable and thoroughly uninspiring. He won't even last 87 days.
02 Nov 2016 17:24:25
I've got a very scary feeling he will sign Agbonlahore.
02 Nov 2016 18:09:10
I don’t care if he is dour and miserable. I just want him to win games of football. If you want to watch a comedian, go to a comedy club.

Any decent manager can have success with the right players. So far we haven't signed the right ones and the squad is unbalanced. If the new manager is given control of the players he wants then he can be successful. Hopefully were done with being linked with Portuguese cast off's.

The new players are mostly pretty good. Our midfield isn't the problem nor our strikers, although we still rely on Edwards to join them together.
Anyone else noticed we rarely get 50% of possession? Is this because our defenders lose the ball too quickly? Or is it because we push opposition defences so much they just pass it round between them? I suspect the former.
03 Nov 2016 11:00:48
I would completely disagree. Our centre forward or number 9 position has managed 2 goals so far this season. That's the biggest problem we have. Secondly is we generally have less than 50% possession because our midfield is poor. We have foreign players who I believe will be good this time next year, then the British Midfielders other than Jack Price are technically poor. As for our fullbacks the worst of the lot. How often are they either out of position or standing off the winger allowing them to deliver without pressure.
