canaries1985 0 Posted January 7, 2010 If he does stay lets just hope his integrity is kept intact by the players and supporters. Not Lamberts fault that hes a wanted man and doing a brilliant job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted January 7, 2010 I suppose this goes with the territory of appointing ambitious managers. It makes a change for our manager to be linked with another club- at least it proves he is doing a lot right.Hopefully Norwich City''s ambition matches his and he believes he can take us as far as he can.

Yellowfuture 71 Posted January 7, 2010 Norwich City have issued a statement to confirm they have received no approach for manager Paul Lambert. The Canaries chief has been heavily backed at some bookmakers to succeed Owen Coyle at Premier League Burnley.Coyle''s imminent departure to Bolton has led to fevered speculation as to his replacement and it is Lambert, a fellow Scot, who has been mentioned in the early running.Lambert certainly fits the criteria Burnley used in recruiting Coyle, in that he is an up-and-coming young tactician, but Norwich insist he is staying at Carrow Road.Having only joined the Canaries in August last year the League One promotion hopefuls would be loath to lose his services at such a critical juncture of the season.Norwich director Michael Foulger retains complete confidence that Lambert will not be lured away."Once again we have had no approach for Paul," he told the club''s official website. "I''m really impressed with his commitment to Norwich City and the way he goes about his business and I want him to take this club forward." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted January 7, 2010 yeah i saw this... that was my bloody question to foulger as well! cheeky sky! I had written an article on the Lambert to Burnley story for the Mail... but Sky have beaten me to it... curses! Isn''t it strange that on a day where this MB wold be posting like mad about Johnson signing and Whitbread''s arrival imminent that the talk is all of fear of losing our manager... One thing for sure though... Isn''t it a good thing that we have a manager that is being talked about in this way? it is a long time since we had a manager that anyone else wanted. Look on the brightside guys... IF he goes (sorry Wiz) ... I think a lot bettewr calibre of manager will be interested in taking over now than when we sacked Gunn. I hope he doesn''t go... he will one day... like someone else said... he''s a bit like dating a girl you know is out of your league... (it never happened to me as I have looks to die for and a personality that could make the fiercest of tigers purr) you know she''ll brake your heart one day, you just have to enjoy the ride whilst it lasts... :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambert is King 0 Posted January 7, 2010 There is now another manager on the move in the markets - price on skybet has dropped from 50/1 to 20/1 and on betfair did go down to 7/1 although is now 10/1 and that manager is Simon Grayson. Lets hope that previous posters were correct and this is the man about to be on the move Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted January 7, 2010 I don''t care if Burnley are in the prem, Lambert is a young manager and will have more opportunities to manage a better club in the future if he fails to make it there with us. I''ll be gutted if he does leave especially for a ramshackle club like Burnley, if after a couple of years we are nowhere near getting to the prem I could understand him going there but not so soon after joining us.

Lambert would however be my second choice... L1 has a number of very decent managers in it now it seems... Grayson, Lambert, Scott, Clark, Jackett, Pardew, Trollope... Not to mention Boothroyd, Ince, Parkinson, Wilson, Tisdale, Abbott and Tilson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted January 7, 2010 I will be more worried about all this if we don''t seal the Whitbread signing. If that goes through then in my eyes its all still full steam ahead under lambert. If that one suddenly does not happen then there may be something in the Burnley link as it may have meant the transfer has been put on ice (if you''ll pardon the pun!).Johnson signing must be a good sign.

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted January 7, 2010 Can''t see Grayson leaving Leeds for Burnley. Leeds are a bigger club and are even more nailed on for promotion than us plus Grayson is a Leeds fan so its his dream job. Don''t forget he dropped a division to go there.Sadly Lambo does not have the same link with us although I think there have been signs of a bit of a bond developing in recent weeks.

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 7, 2010 Think logically though, The Celtic job must be on his radar.Thus..Why move fromColWho - Norwich - Bumley - Celtic ?!?ie:League 1 Mid Table Who? - Promotion to the Champ - Relegation from the Prem - Scottish Champs ( League 2 Promotion *snigger snigger*)But seriously,Promotion then Celtic job must be on his mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
