Three promoted sides.

He's on record as saying he would not want to manage Celtic because of the lack of credible opposition

 

Hi Carra - snap

 

Celtic are currently 9 pts behind that lack of credible opposition.

I reckon he'd jump at it.

 

Alright, Dave. How are things on here?

 

All ok atm apart from spoof security alerts

I should have listened to you a while back, I'll know next time!

 

Even though Celtic are currently in 3rd (I think) everybody knows that there are really only two teams in Scotland. That is what Lambert dislikes about the SPL.

 

You aren't the first person that hasn't listened to me.

 

I'd have to agree that Lambert wouldn't go to to a team like Sunderland. I think he is one of the country's best managers and could see him eventually going to a bigger team. Maybe if Redknapp goes off to manage England, Spurs will be after him. I think he will definitely stay around to keep Norwich up this year though.

 

now spurs is possible in that scenario. celtic or sunderland however... don't make me !

 

I have a feeling that if he left us it would be for Dortmund , and a crack at another Champions league........

 

Personally I'd also like to see all three clubs stay up. Nothing to do with current form just a typical Brit sentiment when it comes to the rooting for the underdog.

In the eyes of the big guns, we're all little or nothing clubs...

Well, I reckon this year's crop might, in our different ways, ask some serious questions of the monied elite. The one thing we have in common is quality competitive managers who'll find ways of riding out the dips in form and inferior squads stuff.

Interesting times.

 

that is the major factor that we do have good managers, they to are learning as they are prone to mistakes just like ours against wolves, none of us have got many premiership standard players so its going to be a struggle but we just got to hope there will be 3 teams worse than us at the end of the season that's all. I hope lady luck is with the three of us. A very tall order i know but my fingers are crossed....

 

it would be good for the premiership AND the championship if we could all survive. it'll give everyone hope

 

Agreed, in fairness I think it's a refreshing change to see three teams like this. Normally at least one or two of the promoted teams seem to be "yoyo" teams, but QPR, Norwich and ourselves have all been absent from the top flight for a while, so if we manage to stay up it'll be a fantastic achievement.

 

and no disrespect to qpr or swansea, who have both 'starred' in league one recently, but for norwich to achieve back-to-back promotions and then stay in the top flight would be an astonishing achievement! hopefully it'll happen!!

 

If Ferguson hangs on for another year or two at United, is it beyond the realm of possibility that Lambert could end up there?

 

depends if the united fans would think he is a 'big enough name' i suppose. fergie rates him very highly, he'd definitely be a candidate

 

I can see your angle, but Norwich were flying a lot higher than us a few years ago when we were bottom of the old Division Three!

 

next 3 games tough gigs for all 3 teams - Swans have Bolton (H), Liverpool (A), Man Utd (H), QPR have Spurs (A), Man City (H) , Stoke (A) and Norwich have Blackburn (H), Villa (A) and Arsenal (H)

norwich have the easier of the 3 i think, just

 

And our last game was C*elsea
