Would any of these kept us up? Considering the shower of shite they would have had to work with would they have done any better? Gouranga.  |

Hughes would have done better never mind them.

We were doomed the moment the January transfer window ended. If any of the three mentioned above had insisted on a striker and more creativity, we may have stood a chance.
However, I don't know if they'd have been backed anymore than Lambert.

New manger in June may have saved us.
Pulis after West Ham may have saved us.
O’Neil in January may have saved us.
Board gave us none of those possibilities.
They were paralysed.

I think if we'd have got QSF we would have backed him massively during the Jan Transfer Window as John Coates would have had a point to prove. I think Lambert was going to do anything BUT rock the boat making player demands etc as he was just chuffed and shocked to get another crack at the Prem.

Hughes would have done better never mind them. The trend suggested otherwise, but I know what you mean. Hughes would have gambled more to at least give us a chance to win games. His defence was so bad though that even that gamble might not have paid off. |

No they wouldn't. We would have been relegated regardless of whether we kept Hughes or appointed any of that lot. The decision to not sign a striker, or go the extra mile to sign a striker is the one that has relegated us, and will haunt us for a long time. No manager is a miracle worker, and there are varying degrees of incompetence, but alas no manager would get the best out of Crouch or Diouf, or a Spanish lad who can't even be bothered to come into the country or a player who can't be bothered to keep himself fit.

Lambert has been that bad, having no manager would have probably resulted in more points.
A disastrous appointment.

Yes. QSF or O'Neill could've kept us up. The fact we were still in with a shout of staying up yesterday after such a horrible run of form tells you all you need to know about the quality at the bottom of the league. I really believe one of those 2 could've squeezed out at least another 5/6 points.

I think Lambert was going to do anything BUT rock the boat making player demands etc as he was just chuffed and shocked to get another crack at the Prem. QSF won just 3 games from 15 in the run in at Watford, and in one particular game, away at West Ham, played with no strikers in the side and left Deeney on the bench as they lost 3-1 and had only 2 shots on goal. It's more than what Lambert has done granted, but it's hardly a huge shift is it, and that was with a club he'd been at since Pre Season with much better strikers than we have. |

QSF, O'Neill and Hughes would have kept us up. If we'd have bought a half decent striker then Lambert would have too.

To be fair Lambert only needed to win 3 out of 15 and we would have stayed up but the useless twat couldn't even manage that in 15! |

I think a vaguely competent manager would have stood a decent chance.
The league this year is unbelievably shit.
All we would've needed is about 3 wins out of 15.
We've supposedly got a £30m keeper
A right-back who everyone rates highly.
3 good centre-halves.
A left-back who's played well under Lambert
A new £15m midfielder
Another midfielder we'll probably sell for £25m
The key player for a country in the top 10 in the world rankings as the main creative outlet.
And maybe Shaq aside, that lot seem good eggs to build around.
Okay, the striker options are lacking but we were the 10th highest scorers in the league after 22 games when the axe fell
There's more than enough there to keep us above the water line given who we're up against.
He's not the primary problem - but Lambert deserves a lot of blame for not pulling it off IMO.

We are relying on you to be the first one to provide the link saying Lambert is leaving, don’t let us down 😉 |

The league is full of teams who are absolute shite and our squad is easily good enough to be staying up. If we'd finished 12th this season i'd have been disappointed, the league is that bad. |
