REPORT: IPSWICH TOWN PONDER NEW MANAGER TO REPLACE LAMBERT

Report names manager who'll take charge if Ipswich sack Lambert - he's got unfinished business
By Aiden Cusick

Former Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock is said to be the preferred choice of Ipswich Town.


Former Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock is waiting in the wings in case Paul Lambert leaves Ipswich Town, according to The Sunday Mirror.

Warnock, who had his Cardiff contract terminated by mutual consent earlier this season, is said to be Ipswich's preferred choice to succeed Lambert.

And it is claimed the 71-year-old will take charge if the Tractor Boys 'fail to arrest their alarming slump in form'.


Warnock is 12 games short of 1500 as a manager and is open about his desire to reach the milestone this season.

And the Yorkshireman's impressive promotion record - eight at 15 clubs, including one at Cardiff - is certain to whet the appetite of the Ipswich fans.

The Suffolk side led the early League One title race but have slipped to ninth after one win in seven.

That said, Lambert's team are still only five points off the play-offs and 10 behind first-placed Rotherham United - one of Warnock's former clubs.

Ipswich are likely to face Cardiff next season, should they gain promotion.

I wish Neil Warnock nothing but the best but I question his motives, if his reason for going to any club is simply to hit a milestone; in this case 1500 games as a manager

Somehow, I doubt that would be the whole of it and if it happens, I would expect to see Ipswich pick up form again and be strong towards the end of the season and into next

its about the 6th club he has been linked with mate.. he has said he would like to manage a club for a run in but would it even get him to 1500..? don't see much wrong with targets or milestones myself either. most of us have them ?

Yes, I simply meant that the media stated he wanted to reach a milestone but I doubted that was his sole reason. I'm not sure how many he is short right now?

he has been linked to almost every job that's come up , mostly by Wezs mate in costa coffee . its also a bit of a catch 22 for Ipswich stick with Lambert and try and ride it out or twist and hope you get the new manager bounce { whether it be Warnock or not }

well on here it was posted he was contacted by hearts, NW himself then said on sky that it was all the media, and there had been no contact.

at his age, he doesnt need the money, i wouldnt go for a club who are expected to win things. why not go to a team with not much expectation, he can slowly change and build things then

not sure he would be looking for anything other than short term, if anything at all..or that any club would be looking at more than short term..
