I feel so sorry for Rickie Lambert.
A fine fellah that was just so so so excited to be given the opportunity to play for his childhood supporting club.
He's been treated disgracefully.
He was only ever going to be a backup plan. You can't give him regular starts just because he's an excitable LFC fan! To say he has been treated 'disgracefully' is massively over the top. He's had the priviledge to play for LFC and score some goals for us....and he's been paid more money than most people on here will earn in a lifetime.
He played 1 minute for us in March and earnt over £150k!!!! I don't really see that as being treated 'disgracefully'.
There's also the small matter of him being told he could leave if he wanted back in January as he wouldn't get much game time, but he chose to stay so he was clearly comfortable with is role (and/or wages).
