Betty Swallocks Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Been on the cards for a while this one. Unhappy with how the club is being run. Only surprised he's stayed on as long as he has, he started talking out about the organisation around February time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 he doesn't like the owner and feels like he is also running the club not just managing the team, not strange at all, and another example of foreign ownership being bad for English clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Been question marks over the position for a while, Lambert wanted to know what his budget was for improving the squad & the Venky's have been holding back on letting him know what / if anything was available to him!! My guess would be that he was promised certain backing / funds when he took the job & now they've back tracked on that agreement & he knows it's going to be hard to take the club forward!! When you also take account that Ben Marshall also wants out, it seems like Blackburn will be a weaker team while the majority of clubs will already be looking to improve their squads. Lambert is seemingly jumping ship before he ends up with another "Villa" situation on his CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Amazed he went to Blackburn in the first place, they were very lucky to have him. He'll surely do more due diligence in deciding what job offer to accept next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Andersons dietician Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Apparently over 100m quid in debt and the Venkys (owners) don't attend any of the matches. They stay in India and don't communicate at all with the fans...or the manager. I work in Blackburn occasionally and from talking to a few of their fans there is only one direction they are heading in...and it isn't up. Hopefully that's one club we will definitely be finishing above next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Smart and bold move on his part, I think. As others have said; hindsight shows he did a better job with Villa than credited with, and saving a Blackburn team who didn't exactly look world beaters with Jordan Rhodes, let alone without him, can't have been the easiest task. Fancy him to do very well if he gets himself at a club that isn't a complete shambles behind the scenes. Fancy him to turn up at Newcastle if they go down.

twodogs Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Another mad club along with Charlton and Blackpool. With him going I expect them to go down next season or at least be close to it. If Villa dont sort things out they'll struggle as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
