Not THAT Lambert, the OTHER Lambert

It is not Robins or Lambert.

EDP were not supposed to release details until the club had announced the press conference themselves hence why it was premature.

Butterworth is of course still in charge for tonight but will be working in a different capacity when the new man takes the manager''s seat. He had to come back up to Norwich as for legal reasons the new roles had to be agreed and signed for before the new manager could sign himself. Crook is being released from the club.

Trust me, it''s not Lambert. I know I didn''t bring you Ameobi like you wanted but I''m not going to bring you Lambert either. I''ve just seen the owners with the new manager, everyone looks pleased. You will be too when it is announced.

Its very busy hereas you can imagine. People coming and going. Mcnally has been working through the night to push through this move in time for the match tonight, unveiling the new manager pre-game will be a big boost to all. Crook and Butterworth were here at 8am and I saw them both come and go. The process for appointing new management is more complex than a player signing so its been hectic and stressful for those involved. I can promise you though that you will all be very pleased by the new appointments they will capture the imagination and it sounds as though there may be more players coming in before September 1st.

The EDP have been somewhat premature in announcing the press conference for 10am, we are still in the process of the compensation package being finalised and faxes being sent from the representatives of the new manager''s chosen coaching staff. Butterworth and Crook have just agreed their release deals, Crook in particular looks very upset. I''m updating from my Blackberry at the moment trying to be discreet so apologies if updates are infrequent.

I know who it is, but I can''t say until the due dilligence process has been completed. Watch this space...
