I, too, am dyslexic. I never tell anybody, I did five hours of extra English each week for ten years. I have never accepted extra time for an exam, never accepted the free laptop at university. Two years ago I graduated with a First Class Honours degree.Nobody with dyslexia is going to get sympathy from me, it doesn''t make you blind.

If you need any assistance with identifying these functions then feel free to ask me and I would be happy to provide you with screen shots or step by step tutorials. Don''t let your dyslexia become an excuse for your lack of literacy, some of the worlds finest minds are dyslexic, and few of them construct a sentence like you.Mwah.

In responce to the others South London is still London so theres the attraction, Sven''s reputation isnt exactly in the world class manager catorgory anymore and applies for every job going, so that explains him being at Leicester ( Plus huge pay packet ). And as for cardiff Bellamy''s family live there and its his home town club, put that with also getting paid a packet and you get the reason why he''s there. The only real connection Martin O''neil has with Norwich is that he once manged us for a short period, thats it! If you seriously think we could get O''neil may i suggest you visit the men in white jackets. And for the record im originally from Norwich, I moved up to this area for work reasons.     Im actually from Norwich by the way, I just live up here. [/quote]OK, I get the point, you are from Norwich - no need to say it twice. The only link between Norwich is that he once managed us for a short period? That just goes to show your complete lack of club knowledge, O''Neill also played for this club in two different spells between 1981 and 1983. In fact, he is in our bloody Hall of Fame. He is also friends with Delia Smith, like I said - he recommended McNally to this club (as confirmed by the club at a press conference by Delia herself). No prizes for guessing how McNally knows O''Neill.The same Martin O''Neill who you claim would never take the Norwich job is currently linked with the West Ham job. They are a whole three places above us in the English league standings. He, too, was linked with the Leicester job. I will happily visit the men in white jackets, although I believe that the standard protocol is for them to visit me. On the condition of course that you return to college to resit your GCSE English.

If Lambert leaves it has to be Malky Mackay, Martin O''Neill or Chris Hughton.

[quote user="canaryspike7"]Settle down. Do you think I would seriously say James if my friend was actually called James? I''m aware Norwich isn''t the biggest club so wouldn''t be hard to find the James who leaked this. I changed his name.

Come on.[/quote]Sounds like BS to me, I mean, who makes up a name to add credibility to a post which could quite simply have been left at ''friend''. If you are telling the truth, then I am sure that the 3 Jame''s who do work at Norwich City Football Club will be most delighted with your use of their name - as opposed to, say, a name which you cannot associate with any club employee - such as ''Mr X''.Anyway, my friend Janette* is coming round soon with her boyfriend Jimmy** to watch a bit of Football*** so better go.*This friend is not actually named Janette.**Her boyfriend is not actually named Jimmy.***I may actually watch Rugby, or Cricket, but didn''t want to disclose that info.

He left Aston Villa because they sold their best player and then didn''t provide him with any of the revenues to replace that player, in other words he didn''t want to sell James Milner because he didn''t think that he could replace him. Randy Lerner sold him anyway. That would be a little like Delia & Co selling Grant Holt tomorrow, despite Paul Lambert not wanting to, and then telling everybody that we won''t be replacing him and that Aaron Wilbraham would have to be our key striker. It was the lack of ambition at Villa, and the desire to profit from player sales, that drove O''Neill away. The Milner, Young, Aghbonlahor threesome was his only hope of a top four finish; Lerner effectively sold their top four finish to Man City.

*Lennon and Elliott

IF....We got a substantial amount of Compo, say seven figures, and Martin O''Neill came in to finish the job. Why? Because I feel that Lambert has a lot to learn and achieve before he can be considered the equal to O''Neill.Lets look at the way that O''Neill got his big job..... he got Leicester promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs on a shoestring budget, a similar sized club to Norwich (prob even a bit smaller), kept them in the Premier League, establishing them as a Premier League team, and won two League Cups along the way; he also reached a third League Cup final. They finished in the top ten in each of his full seasons at the club. Leicester City, at risk of relegation to the third division when he took over, played in the UEFA cup twice. It was after five years of success at Leicester that O''Neill took the Celtic job, he bided his time and waited for an opportunity which was too good to turn down. Now, if O''Neill is supposed to be Lamberts mentor then what would O''Neill say to his protege? If Lambert wants to replicate a great manager then he should be looking at his old boss. Lambert has not achieved anything yet. Highly capable, yes, successful? Not yet, by any stretch of the imagination. He needs to get this club promoted and turn the likes of Croft and Ward in the next Lennon and Heath, he needs to show that he can keep a club in the Premier League; even then he has not achieved anything like the success of O''Neill before making the leap.A League One title you say? Sure, he did a great job last season. But somebody wins that league every year, O''Neill won two successive promotions with Wycombe long before he had taken over at Leicester. There was once a talented young manager by the name of Steve Tilson, he took his first club from League Two to League One, and the straight up to The Championship. He is now managing Lincoln City who sit at 22nd in League Two.Ultimately it boils down to one thing, if Lambert truly has the wisdom of O''Neill then he will stay and finish the job until he can take us no further. O''Neill spent 5 years at 3 of his clubs, 4 years at another. Lambert is at his 4th club in 5 years and is still only 41. There is a very thick line sitting between a manager who brings true success and health to a football club, and one who becomes percieved as a mercenary. Lambert hasn''t served his apprenticeship, by O''Neill standards he has 3 and a half years left. If Lambert is not capable of the commitment, and the wait for the longer term financial rewards, then let us consider somebody who without a doubt would be. Malky Mackay, 6 years as player, fond enough of this club to stick out the 5 or 6 years as a manager. I know that Lambert has not left this football club, but here is a prediction for you all just in case he does...... Malky Mackay will achieve more in the next 20 years of his career then Paul Lambert will in the next 20 years of his.

£5 million? Your having a laugh aren''t ya? They are Burnley, not Chelsea.All we would get in compo at a tribunal if we don''t accept the approach is the value of Lamberts contract, in other words the real cost of replacing him.

[quote user="Persnickety"]If Lambert came out and said he was happy at Norwich and was going nowhere etc - he would put off certain prem clubs that may be looking for a manager very soon. I dont think Lambert is interested in Burnley but is definately interested in West Ham, Villa etc.I think it been played as it was meant to - sort of deny it by saying hes ''happy with the statement'' and then refuse to say anymore thus if nothing happens after all the upcoming sackings he can continue where he left off with Norwich. But also dont rule it out, create a sense of being willing to leave if offer was right - alerting all the prem clubs with upcoming vacancies that Lambert is potentially available.[/quote]I thought about this one two. He has no interest at all in taking a sideways step to a team who have 18 months of parachutes left until becoming broke and a Championship minnow.But by categorically stating something like "I will not be leaving this football club" or "I love this football club" he sets himself up for hatred if the right job comes along.The thing is though, if he had just said "I won''t be joining Burnley, I won''t answer any other questions" it would all be rosy. We may now have an unsettled team, worried fans, and a loss of trust. If he wanted to walk out on this club to join Liverpool, Chelsea, Celtic, who the hell could blame him? I would happily wish him good luck, he doesn''t owe this club anything at all. But, he is best served getting us promoted on a shoe string, and keeping us in the Premiership, he has a lot to achieve before he can call himself an O''Neill, he has to make us his Leicester before he earns a job like that.Remember that O''Neill took Leicester to the Premier League, won two League cups, established them as a mid-table team, and created household names out of bargain basement players. Until Andrew Crofts is the new Neil Lennon and Elliott Ward is the next Matt Elliott he hasn''t achieved anything.If he leaves this club in January he has bottled it, a second consecutive promotion could make his reputation globally, leaving for a few hundred grand a year more at this stage of the season could change the way that he is viewed not only by Norwich fans but by fans nationally.

[quote user="Big Slob"]Ha! Joking aside that would be an awful appointment, he was useless at Lincoln[/quote]See above for my response to you.

Whilst I would not want Chris Sutton as the manager of Norwich City Football Club, by no means was he "useless at Lincoln"; in his one year in charge he took them to the 3rd round of the FA Cup for the first time in other a decade, he gave Davide Somma his first break in English Football (who went on to score 9 in 14 and is now playing and scoring in the Championship) and finished 20th in League Two after taking over a team which had won 9 points from their first 9 games and had scored just 6 goals in their first 9 games. He is far from ready for a job like this, but he was credited for preserving their football league status and - remember this bit - he was not sacked but walked. It is now four months after he left Lincoln, and they are sitting pretty at joint bottom on goal difference, despite being managed by Steve Tilson -  a bloody good lower league manager.This is not football manager 2011, this is real life, a real world where Lincoln get 3000 people a week watching their games and make six figure annual losses. Not every team is going to challenge for promotion, irrespective of the manager. Do you think that Lambert could have done any better at a team with no money? Before you say yes, please bear in mind that in Steve Tilson you have a man who took Southend to two consecutive promotions, from League Two to League One and subsequently on to The Championship, something which Paul Lambert has yet to do and may choose not to do and with a much much smaller club. I hope that I have made my point.
