I made the point aht time of Lambert's appointment that he was the first...

City manager since Martin O'Neill to have been appointed as part of the upward trajectory of his managerial career. ie appointed because he had succeeded elsewhere and was on the way up.

Deehan - internal, no experience
Megson - scraping the barrel
Walker - ballsed up Everton
Rioch - faded glory
Hamilton - internal, cheap option
Worthington - another interna, sacked by Blackpool
Grant - no experience, gave good interview
Roeder - sacked everywhere, gave good interview
Gunn - meh

An astonishing indictment of our recruitment policy.
