Colu_Tristan 0 Posted November 21, 2009 ... on the agreement that no offer of employment could be made BEFORE compensation had been agreed. That agreement stood even when Lambert resigned at Norwich''s suggestion.If you ''poach'' another clubs manager in the second week of the season you''ve got to expect to have to pay a premium. Why should we be out of pocket because Norwich have a drama in the first week of the season? Shame on you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Attleborough_Canary 64 Posted November 23, 2009 Shows what a shabby amateurish outfit they really are when he says he wanted to speak to Lambert about cash plus player deals.

ron obvious 1,473 Posted November 23, 2009 Interesting to get an idependent view (courtesy of carrowroad.net)"I was having a read round some web sites yesterday and happened upon avery good blog by a Leeds Utd supporter, in which he writes:When Lambert made the journey from Essex toNorfolk it was implicit that Colchester had accepted this and the onlyquestion was the amount of compensation. 3 months later and a figure isyet to be agreed, and you can be sure that is because Colchester want alarge and probably ridiculous figure. As they haven’t secured it yetthey have decided to report Norwich for poaching! Hang on, if youagreed to negotiations on Lambert the accusation of poaching becomesredundant, ala Grayson and Blackpool, so what you should be asking foris a tribunal to agree the compensation not a stupid, needless andultimately futile attempt to try and force points off Norwich.Behaviour like this is what undermines integrity in football.

Maybe we should start discussing the similarities between players on the pitch waving the imaginary yellow card gesturing to the referee to book a player and the Col who chairman constantly pushing to the media that he thinks we should be docked points!!! Where one of the above is commonly frowned upon by all supporters of football, maybe so should the other?? As a fan of the other club is it not embarrassing that your chairman is behaving in such a petulant manner?I find it a bit desperate and fairly disgraceful tbh.
