I've always backed Lambert. Just thought he had something, an idea, a vision, a plan. But you cannot defend the indefensible. Ten home defeats is frankly disgusting. The crap that season ticket holders have had to put up with for the last four years beggars belief.
My bigger problem is that getting rid of the manager is like shuffling deckchairs on the titanic. What difference will it really make?
Yes, someone might come in and might pep things up for a bit. Look at Sunderland under Poyet. But real, substantive change will require serious investment. Something we seem unwilling or unable to do.
What is clear is that we will go down - if not this year, then the next year or the year after that. You can only 'flirt' with relegation for so long.
