[Archived] Official: Paul Lambert Appointed Blackburn Rovers Manager

[Darwen Rover 007]

So we are non the wiser re when PL will have talks with the owners???

[K-Hod]

Lambert is actually a protestant himself anyway. There's nothing anti-protestant about Celtic whatsover. Or racist for that matter.

Anyway, there would be others above Lambert in the queue, such as Moyes, but he is apparently unwilling unless he is promised fairly significant funds to spend. This could potentially deter Lambert as well. But having Rangers in the top flight will probably mean the Celtic board might have to splash the cash a bit to remain top dog.

Not wanting to take this off topic, but I've seen plenty this last week in the comments section of news articles (and vice versa).

You will always get sectarianism on both sides of the old firm divide, sadly, but the club itself is not anti protestant or racist. The behaviour of a proportion of its huge fan base is another matter.

Do you bet on many 25/1 outsiders ?

Once the odds reach 33 to 1 in India they'll be on it and it'll be a goer !

Maybe from a bunch of 15 year olds but never the club itself.

What he said.

[chaddyrovers]

Are Celtic going to be spending millions or something this summer? Highly doubtful.

I still think Lambert will stay here tbh

[rigger]

Well he will fit right in if he's anti-protestant as well as racist.

This post shows that you know very little about Celtic

Depends how many millions we're talking.

[scotty_beam_me_up]

From all I read and speaking with my Celtic mates, Celtic isn't being run that great either. They cash in on their better players and don't let the manager pick the players. Better run than Rovers but that's not saying much.

Also I've not heard Lamberts name mentioned. I would be amazed if they went for him. I like Lambert but he needs a more recent success than promotion with Norwich to get that job. Lennon, Moyes, Keane mentioned. Even Owen Coyle is ahead of him in the betting!!

[McClarky]

Celtic are a poorly run club who's fan base is totally disillusioned with the way the club has gone over recent years. I know quite a lot of Celtic fans through watching St Pauli and hardly any of them go anymore for many reasons. Quite similar to Rovers in a lot of ways. If Lambert goes there it might well be another situation like he is in here.

I can think of a better ex-player who they could turn to, experience in the Premier League, managed abroad at Premier League level, great record of bringing youngsters through, tactical innovator, likes a refreshment, spins a good yarn...... you know where this is going.......

Or "beer" as most people call it.

If you mean Moyes you forgot his best achievement of all.

You have forgot this is a Blackburn Rovers MB, not City

Lambert hasn't even had his budget set yet by the owners.

lets see what happened.

But I don't see Celtic spending money. Plus the post below sums up Celtic completely.

You forgot the most important bit..."He was good enough to play for celtic"

[bob fleming]

Jesus - is there any need for that picture?!?

Will they be selling to buy sign a couple of freebies and a couple of loans ? Because we probably will. He'll be here if they don't call..............

I cannot believe that anyone actually thought he was referring to Davie Moyes????? Come on Vinjay lad lol

I said it previously but what happened to his head to make it go so round?

[VinjayV4]

I don't suppose busy watching the Palace game and not paying full attention will be a suitable excuse?

To be fair it did say "managed abroad at Premier League level" could have perhaps indicated it wasn't the Spanish equivalent.

[tomphil]

It was putty in Jeromes hands...

[VinjayV4]

As was the club unfortunately. A valuable lesson in being too nice.

Anyway wonder if the LT might have a story other than Lambert quotes tomorrow?

He became a Donut

You've hit the nub of it there!

I was thinking about what he might put on his CV. He might keep it real I suppose and describe himself as a lying, cheating, swindling, drunk driving, dog denying failure.
