EX-CANARY LAMBO IS NEW BOSS AT IPSWICH

PAUL LAMBERT will be appointed Ipswich’s new manager this morning, but is leaving caretaker Bryan Klug in charge for the trip to Millwall.

Former Norwich boss Lambert (above) has put aside fears over the reception he may receive from the Tractor Boys fans to agree to succeed Paul Hurst, who was sacked on Thursday.

Hurst was in the job for less than five months and managed just one win from his 15 games in charge.

Klug is determined to earn something at The Den before handing over to Lambert and said: “We had stability for five years under Mick Mccarthy, but we had an influx of 12 new players in the summer and that’s a big change.

“I’ve been on all the courses and they say the job is 20 per cent what you know and 80 per cent man-management.

“I agree with that 100 per cent and an experienced manager coming in and man-managing will be massive.”

Klug, 58, said: “I came here in 1978 and we’ve never been lower than we are now.

“Everything seems to have gone wrong that could possibly go wrong for Paul Hurst.

“You need a bit of luck and I don’t think he had that. I’m very sad that he’s lost his job.

“I’m a great believer in continuity, but there is a tipping point as well.”

Millwall winger Shane Ferguson has warned teammates they cannot take Ipswich lightly despite Hurst’s sacking.

“I think they’ll just continue the way they are. Whoever comes in and takes that job, I’m sure they’ll do great,” said the Northern Ireland star.

“But we are just focusing on ourselves and hopefully we can get the three points.”

Millwall have won their last two home matches – against Aston Villa and Wigan – to climb out of the Championship drop zone.

“The fans help us out a lot. The way they got behind us after half-time on Tuesday night helped,” Ferguson added.

“Hopefully we can send them home happy again tomorrow.”
