They spent £27m last summer. That might go some way to explaining why they're fairing a bit better this season.
I just said that.
But the key is that with Lambert at the helm, they could not have spent that money. Players care about where they play and live. Frankly, who wants to live in Wolverhampton? Not £10M players. If they do, they want to play for someone they can feel affinity to. And that ain't Lambert. Add in that he was the worst interview I've ever seen in pre and post game news conferences for them and I think he does not engender positivity wherever he is. Since he also plays negative football, this makes sense.
I know plenty of Wolves fans. None of them thinks Lambert was a success. Certainly no one misses him there. Having 4 jobs in 3.5 years tells me no recent club has bent over backwards to keep him, either. There is probably a reason for that.
I will say though that he does have a history of "bounces." Teams always get better for 4-6 matches after his arrival, probably because he sorts out their defense a bit. But every time, it wears off and then everyone gets weary... of him.
My guess is he will be sacked within 12 months. If not sooner.

That’s not the way the Coates family operate - trust me, I know them very well.
Why a pm?im sure a lot of people are interested in how a guy from Northern California knows a number of wolves fans. This is more interesting than the takeover thread
MK Dons have just sacked Robbie Neilson according to the Football League Show... Not surprised thats happened as was surprised to see them in the relegation zone.
Guess its proof how tight the bottom half of the table is this season, especially with how Gillingham and Plymouth have managed to get themselves clear of the relegation zone
I know they've been on a poor run lately but they're still 10th and through to the next round of the FA Cup. Surely he deserved a bit more time to turn it round.
Football these days is crazy, one bad run and you're gone.

New owner comes in gets rid of KR KR to MK Franchise
KR now 3rd favourite for MK Franchise job
Why would he go back at this stage, it makes no sense when we are above them in the table and he has a contract here. If new owners came in and sacked him, he'd at least get a payoff
Surprised that with them in 10th, they've lost 9 of their last 13 games... Seems to be a similar type sacking to Marco Silva @ Watford, just without another club causing a distraction.
Wonder if MK Dons might take a look at him as he's not done badly in his first English role

Phil Brown about to be given the push from Southend...

Wonder if they regret turning down the rumoured 15 million Everton are said to have offered
Allegedly lost the dressing room
He was evens to be next prem manager to leave,
There form has been poor since he was linked with Everton
He was Dele Ali's mentor
And was England under 16 manager until he was sacked in September.
Not much experience then and can see them going down if they appoint him
