Paul Lambert has left Ipswich tonight.

Interesting as it mentions them being close to a takeover being agreed with US investors, and that the deal was brokered by a director of another EFL club. Meth head or Donald???

Worryingly they might get a new manager bounce, after lambert that's probably a cast-iron possibility

No real surprise there then, he's quoted as saying he'd be gone if the takeover happened iirc

Hadn't heard that marra, knowing he wasn't part of the future plans

So was he pushed or did he jump / orchestrate the move

Probably both, he knew he was on borrowed time at Ipswich so maybe left with mutual agreement if this takeover is pretty far on, knowing he'd be gone soon anyway. And if there's an opportunity to go to Celtic now getting linked with it isn't bad for any future jobs, whether he gets it or not.
 
I don’t think a new manager is gonna push Ipswich much further.

Their position is about right for their squad so I ain’t worried about a major resurgence there this season.

Mad if he walks into Celtic job after years of failings, it’s like they are trying to let Rangers run away from them.

They should get Lampard, that'd be an entertaining situation. Whatever they do they should be looking at a damn sight better than Lambert.

I'm surprised that Moore has gone to Sheffield Wednesday, they seem a basket case at the minute with their owner. It's looking highly unlikely that they'll avoid relegation and it doesn't look like there's much money for rebuilding next season. Unless there's something happening behind the scenes at Doncaster it doesn't seem that good a move.

From the outside it does seem a strange decision, especially where Doncaster are sitting in the league. No doubt he'll see Sheff Wed as a bigger club and reckon he'll be able to turn them around

Probably thought wont get Doncaster up and if he cant stop Sheff Wed in going down, where would he rather be at the start of next season.

Transfer Market lists the value of their squad at $20 million, Us 11m, Hull 13m, Portsmouth 8m, Peterborough 3m.

It's a young squad - so likely - there's some future value being factored in - but I still wouldn't want to face them in a playoff match.

I remember how loudly Sheff Wed were screaming when Newcastle poached Bruce ...

.... seems their 'principles' are quite fluid.

I personally wouldn’t be judging the calibre of a squad by a website.

We’ve played them and they had nothing about them, they’ve struggled for consistency.

If someone tells me there squad is better than ours, Hulls, Peterborough’s or Portsmouths then I’d tell them to take up watching cricket.

Not aimed at you for clarity mate, but there’s no way they have the most valuable squad in the league, that would be Peterborough by a distance.

I saw in the Athletic that they’re expected to appoint Paul Cook as his replacement. I hope this isn’t the case.

We're ahead of Ipswich in the league, and have played them twice already.

Hopefully they do get a bit of a new manager bounce against the other sides around us. So I don't think it's a bad thing.
