Waddockhunt's 'Bottling It' post further down...

Is the be all and end all of the Holt/Lambert debate.

Totally understand Lambert as his ambition as a manager doesn't match the club's ambition for survival and financial stability. I appreciate what he's done, wish him well but hope we finish above Villa next season.

Holt has overestimated the love from the fans and his agent has told him that he can use his hero status to his advantage and pressure the board into a better deal now, as he certainly wouldn't have got one in two years time. This has backfired and he has found he hasn't got the unconditional support he thought he had.

Grant Holt is certainly the most popular player we have but he hasn't done the most for us; Cafu, Fox, Ruddy, Drury, E Bennett and everyone in the team have pulled their weight this season. It's not all about Holt and he shouldn't be considered above anyone, simply because he get the paper coverage. When he leaves, he will be replaced and we will sing about our new number 9.

Grant Holt also needs to sack his agent.
