In LG1 and the champs we had one of largest net budgets

The first season in the PL was his real triumph but he knew that the PL would be much tougher this year and we would probably struggle.

Staying up this season with our current squad will be a far bigger achievement than anything Lambert ever did.

        Except he does as we scored more points in the second half of each season he was here. He (NCFC) - megson, Apr 4, 18:19:53
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - Dandy Highburyman, Apr 4, 20:02:38
