Lambert 21:52 - Nov 1 with 4727 viewsitfcjoe

AN impressive guy, holds the room well - exudes confidence and steel and just comes across as a pro, like Mick was able to.

I've got great confidence in him, and am looking forward to the weekend.

Kudos to the club and the supporters club for putting on an event and allowing such access to the manager.

That's all very well ITFC Joe so why didn't Evans hire him in the summer? Far better track record than Hurst who has destroyed our team. How he could ever agree to Waggers being sold god only knows. The same Waghorn who was fantastic at Chelsea last night. He should have said " give us one more season while the team settles down.". But no he lets Evans pocket the dosh and take a ridiculous pint on lower division, hardly prolific strikers. We deserve to be bottom and wont climb the table till we get a proper goalscorer in. Sadly.

Almost everyone wanted a "young, hungry" manager, hiring "young, hungry" players from "lower leagues".

Also, Lambert didn't leave Stoke until well into our recruitment process.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

He wanted a break from management and Waghorn wanted to leave, simples.

I don't think any manager could have kept Waghorn, this whole notion of wanting to Join Lampard was lip service, he got triple his wages and a big signing on fee, can't blame him, and certainly not Hursts fault.

We don't have the finances of Derby so we couldn't sign like for like, hence shopping in the bargain basement.

Given that we only signed him 12 months before then yes we could have signed like for like, you just need a manager with either the right contacts book or a good scout next to him to be able to identify players and then motivate them to playing the right way for you

This is obviously a contentious point as I've read otherwise, however I'm no more in the know than anyone, and to be fair even if we did offer him a new contract whilst upping his wages would it have been as much as Derby's? I very much doubt so, as I say can't blame him for cashing in.

Like for like when he first signed him, it was the management of MM that obviously got something out of him that others hadn’t seen or got from him before, it wasn’t like he needed to be with us for 2-3 years before he blossomed is it? Therefore MM and his scouts saw something they thought they could work with. I would expect any decent manager that we should be looking to employ should be able to do the same.

Only being compared to Mick because they've both joined the club in very similar situations.

Plus, I'd say Mick was our last manager because Hurst was nothing short* of a joke.

*no pun intended

Wghorn was probably not interested in being coached by Chris Doig who was photographed jumping on his back during training.

Think we're getting our wires crossed, I wanted Hurst out, thought he was out of his depth, but if we were to buy a championship striker with 20 odd goals in him then we would would have had to spend £5m plus, something we have never done under Evans.

Now, if we wanted a manager who could spot a player who could be a diamond in the rough then Mick was the man, as history suggested, unlike Hurst.

But I thought everyone wanted Mick out.

I think we are all much more confident that Lamberts team can spot a raw diamond and develop him than Hurst and his sidekicks.

I think it is quite clear that, regardless of anything else, Hurst saw Waghorn going as an opportunity to spend some money. That was his choice but it was foolish not to try and persuade Waghorn to stay.

Totally agree, and if he didn't even try to persuade him to stay, then that's a shocking piece of management.

That's really simplistic.

We signed Mings for 10k, why couldn't we just go out and sign a like for like?

For every bargain we got, there are plenty who failed.

There are lots of things to blame PH for but not being able to get a striker of Waghorn's quality on the cheap isn't one of them.

Hurst made the transfer decisions, in and out, not Evans.
