can u sit down please 0 Posted January 8, 2010 "Colchester I left because I was told I could come and speak to Norwich."Hmmm. Just as we thought. I wonder what Cowling will make of that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted January 8, 2010 Cowling has said that he allowed Lambert to speak to us, just not leave Colchester until compensation was agreed. Lambert resigned before compensation had even been discussed, thus the massive to and fro that has resulted since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
William Darby 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Cowling would have a stronger footing if he''d said, ''no you can''t speak to them, as you are under contract''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuff Said 5,950 Posted January 8, 2010 I preferred "I''m not going anywhere until maybe Norwich sack me.” [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Thank goodness that Delia came round to getting a pro like McNally to run things here properly. Bit of a pointer to Mr Cowling... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snoots 0 Posted January 8, 2010 What interested me about this quote was the fact that Lambert clearly took the opportunity of putting "I was told I could come and speak to Norwich" on the public record for the first time (unless I have missed this before). Otherwise, this phrase is not really in context. You don''t leave a club because you existing club has said you can to speak to another. Anyway, really good news all round."I''m staying. I hear people say I have not stayed at clubs for a long time. I stayed at Wycombe for a couple of years. Colchester I left because I was told I could come and speak to Norwich. But I am certainly not going to leave this club, no.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
