NCFCInnit 52 Posted February 6, 2019 Are we big enough at the next two matches to celebrate two managers who took Norwich to the Premier League? Hopefully, it will be a hat trick and the third involved in these games will emulate his two predecessors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Rider 538 Posted February 6, 2019 It would be a good spectacle and probably quite impactive to both teams and supporters, if the whole ground (or at least the noisy bits) just supported the team loudly and passionately throughout the game. However, there will be a large anti Lambert contingent singing particular songs that have swirled around Carrow Rd for the last few weeks and in a sense, who can blame them? What there is no doubt of is that the atmosphere, despite the stupid start times, will be pumped up and should be electric. Bring it on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted February 6, 2019 Can’t really see the point treating him any differently to any other returning manager/player. We had a good run under him, he left and that’s it. I neither expect him to booed or cheered, tbh. Should they do the unexpected and win, and he came on the pitch ‘doing a Wilder’ he would quite rightly be booed though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,119 Posted February 6, 2019 If he had dragged them out of the bottom three I expect the reaction would be quite vocal. As it is, his star has waned somewhat and I would expect most rational fans to treat him with the indifference he deserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 318 Posted February 6, 2019 Lanbert left under a cloud and was a little disgruntled. If it wasn't for City he would not have been given the task of reviving Villa, a thankless task. But like Danny Mills forgets that City was a factor in his career the fact that as a manager since leaving he has proved to be poor is down solely to Lambert's inabilities. If we was to show a degree of humility and showed that the role City played in his managerial career he might have retained City supporters good faith. But joining Ipswich and bad mouthing City means he deserves appropriate stick on Sunday. Best way is to beat Ipswich on Sunday a handsome score and performance to show how much this side is better than the team of 2010/11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surfer 1,547 Posted February 6, 2019 He had his chance for a respectful welcome back when he turned up with Villa. But he's done nothing since the start of that game to leave any other impression than he was glad to be somewhere else. So let's help him go back to where he's been before - League 1.

kingsway 94 Posted February 6, 2019 The question one has to ask themselves is - would you have Lambert back as manager? My answer would be a big NO because hes a spent force as a manager as his record since leaving Norwich proves. Add in the facts hes not getting any younger and has made lots of money means his desire has declined. I'd of said exactly the same even before he took the job at Portakabin Road. Hes now just a mercenary taking advantage of a car crash of a football club. Booing him will only inspire him on Sunday! Treating him as a complete irrelevance is the best way on Sunday as that will irk him more than boos which will only boost his ego! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelm Canary 402 Posted February 6, 2019 He clearly loves playing devil's advocate. Don't let him have it. He's not a threat and he's no longer relevant. Don't give him the pleasure of thinking he is. He'll spend many a midnight hour laying awake wondering why nobody cares enough to hate him anymore...and we shouldn't hate him.

Norwich R Us 59 Posted February 6, 2019 I like the 'Paul Lambert is one of us' narrative as it doesn't allow him to revel in the pantomime villain role he uses to deflect the focus away from his players, while at the same time it would really get under the skin of the ipswich fans, especially if we are a couple clear at the time! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He thought he was bigger than Norwich and larged it up when he had winning returns with Villa. Why the hell shouldn't we give him maximum grief on what's likely to be a bit of a break from each other ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted February 6, 2019 Just ignore him - I couldn’t care less about Paul Lambert. As soon as he signed for them I lost all respect. I don’t even see the point I using his name is disparaging songs. Ignore him and he’ll hate it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K Lo 219 Posted February 7, 2019 I've been to a few matches where Lambert was the opposing team's boss. IMO, I think the best thing for Norwich fans to do would be to applaud the Norwich team and Norwich boss in the usual manner as they come onto the pitch/into the dug out and forget about the opposition. For the record, Norwich have already beaten a post-Norwich Lambert side, which went mostly unnoticed !! 2-0 against Wolves with AN as our manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry53 197 Posted February 7, 2019 I am a new city fan having moved from Cambridge 2 years ago. I fully get the rivalry thing but if Paul lambert was a good and respected norwich-city manager, why even think about booing him just because he has a new job at Ipswich. To me that is childish and disrespectful. Just one more thing, why is the club and fans saying it's a big game? It should be the easiest game all season.
