VegasCanary 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Interesting read on how we approached them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metatron 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Also interesting is the confirmation that we approached Colchester after their game on Saturday(from the above link)"I can confirm that First Team Manager Paul Lambert, Assistant Manager Ian Culverhouse and Football Operations Manager Gary Karsa have all left the U''s to take up positions at Norwich City.I received a call from Norwich''s Chairman, Alan Bowkett on Saturday, about 30 minutes after our win against Yeovil. Alan asked me for permission to appoint Paul Lambert as their manager. I was in our boardroom entertaining the Yeovil directors at the time so I told Alan that I would call him back later. "Read the rest of the story too - seems like our Board were pretty ruthless about getting ''their'' man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Metatron 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Why ''desperate''?Sorry, I don''t understand your point.What would you rather? They asked for permission to speak to him and then meekly accepted a ''no''?If they were convinced that he was the man for the job (and whether he is or not, only time will tell) then as a Club we have FOR ONCE gone out and got our No. 1 target, from another Club, and very quickly at that.
