Recommended Posts

In the censorship deletions I didn''t get to hear from the number of Col U fans who like to come on this message board and debate the Lambert issue what they would consider to be a proper and fail outcome.

Please tell us:

1) To what extent you support Cowling''s stance.

2) What level of punishment i.e points deduction or fine you would feel vindicated and justified should City receive.

3) What your punishment FOR MY CLUB would be were you able to impose one.

You seem am amiable lot on the whole but please come off the fence.

I think us City fans should go first!

In one of the deleted posts I asked (I can''t remember exactly but along the lines of)....

1) Should Lambert and his backroom staff be allowed to walk out on us tomorrow?

2) If another club poached them and we didn''t get promoted do you think we should get compensation?

3) If so how much?

Lambert will leave us sooner or later. When he does I hope he is remembered for the phenominal change he exacted on our team while with us.

I expect compensation if he is poached and I expect City to expedite an agreement then move on.

I would not respect my Chairman or CEO for dregging the thing out across the season and in the same light I hope they have a realistic exit plan for their action against the NOTW.

Go on Rudolph - name your figure!

He walks on Sunday with backroom staff and we miss out on promotion. How much would you want? I would want at least £1million. Not saying we would get it but anything less would not seem fair.

Firstly i support Robbie Cowling in everything he is doing and i think you will find nearly all 12 of us Col U fans do. What everyone needs to reaiize is Lambert seriously fu*ked up our season just two weeks into it by walking out,he spent heavily over the summer on players and we started the season with two wins before he decided to jump ship to go to a so called bigger club. Don''t get me wrong  i never liked Lambert and i know alot of the other 12 fans didn''t mainly because of the way he treats players and i think Aidy will be successful in his time with us but you have to wonder how we would be doing if Lambert had stayed or at least done the right thing in walking out at a time which would have given us time to find a new manager who would at least been able to get his own players in. I think you will find all this is what has upset Robbie the most because the money Lambert spend was Robbies OWN money so surely you can all understand why he is seriously p**sed off with the situation. Robbie Cowling was also right in not allowing Norwich fans more tickets for the game at our place,no he shouldn''t have made the comments what he did and just kept it at "no you ain''t having anymore tickets" instead of saying that stuff  about how he would much rather see an empty seat than one with a Norwich fan in and it seriously backfired but i''m still puzzled as to why some Norwich fans still think they had the right to have more tickets as you were given 20% of the ground anyway.

As for punishment Norwich should get a heavy fine for obviously breaking league rules and the compensation we receive should be Lamberts and the other twos contracts paid up in full. Points deducted will never happen and it wouldn''t be fair on the people that matter and that is the fans,i don''t agree with points deducted for anything as the fans always suffer and they ain''t the ones who done wrong...

As for what i would impose,i would kick you out the league and force Lambert to return to Scotland to manage a team like Annan Athletic and never allow him to return to England.......Only joking,i think if we get the compensation we deserve then most Col U fans will be happy and then we can hopefully all move on

Fairy nuff cufcone,

It boils down to the compensation then. I don''t know if there is a matrix for a club owner''s hurt feelings so although I can empathise with a manager leaving (like Walker to Everton) it has to come down to other factors.

I am surprised Lambert was unpopular with your players as they would clearly walk over hot coals for him here. You should try Roeder!

He clearly brought you some good players in and got off to a great start to the season but perhaps he didn''t really feel wanted in the way he does here. All these people have massive egos and Lambert is getting his well fed here. Infact, he regularly talks about how fans can turn so doesn''t seem to count his chickens on that score.

There is a lot of positivity between our fans but Cowling is doing his best to damage the relationship. In the end his mistake is that he is making the whole issue look personal and how can any tribunal rule on financial compensation for his hurt feelings?

Thanks for coming out and saying it as you see it.

Lambert did bring in some quality players like Tierney,Magnus and Fox but did bring in alot of c*ap like Beevers,Maybury and probably the worst signing was Joel Thomas from Hamilton who i think has scored about 4 goals in his entire career and he cost £125,000. The main problem with Lambert was his treatment over players he didn''t like. John White who has been at Colchester all his life and is a fans favourite,Phil Ifil who played a few games for the Spurs first team and wasn''t cheap when we got him and Medy Elito who was playing for England under 18''s and was tipped to have a great future were the main ones to suffer. Not only did Lambert not even give them all a squad number but he also totaly humiliated them by forcing them to train on thier own or with the youth team. I might be worng here but didn''t Lambert say the same sort of thing to Docherty when he took over at Norwich?

I''m all for dropping players when they don''t put in the effort but forcing them to train with the youth team is going a bit far,especially a player like Elito who is an 18 year old kid who is told has a great future then suddenly is told to train with the youth team,you can only imagine what it done to his confidence and he hasn''t been the same since..

1) I support his stance 100% although not the comments about seats (although I agree you shouldn''t of had any more)2) No points deduction, large fine3) I would give you a large fine and then have all the points taken off you from when you obtained Lambert until you paid for Lambert (and the backroom staff)I disagree with the idea about points deductions never being given because it hurts the fans, my argument is that the fans have gained by the transgressions that the points deductions are issued for. i.e. ending up in administration due to spending money that isn''t there chasing the dream (the fans gain from the big name players, the wins that wouldn''t have happened, the promotions etc etc) Teams gain an unfair advantage by risking it all and if it goes wrong then, well, they have to pay the price.Still hate teams going to the wall though whoever they are.And, as a side note I don''t care what team people support as long as it''s a) their local team b) any other team they have a proper link to (not that they watch them on tv)P.S. first visit back since the drubbing so well done on you result at ours :)

From my point of view this all  revolves around whether City did actually break the rules.If the answer is no, then all they should pay is a fair compensation based around contracts.  Results since Lambert has come to Norwich has no impact at all on the size of this compensation.  Otherwise City should just tough it out until we have a bad patch and then claim that they shouldn''t pay any compensation.  It''s about contracts - nothing else.  We shouldn''t forget that if Col.U had a rubbish contract with Lambert, then they will find it difficult to make any legitimate claim for substantial compensation.If we have broken the rules, then I would find it difficult to argue that a points deduction shouldn''t be on the table.  Mind you, if it''s the 15 points that mnay Col.U fans what, quite frankly who cares - we''ll get promoted anyway!

Edd thats interesting there was a debate last night with several including Col fans. One of the conclusions was you would not want to play us in the playoffs.

Because a manager has never been brought before a tribunal before under section 20 it is very hard to know what will happen. There is no precedent, and although not likely to be the worst scenario for us or you the punishments will range from you receiving nothing to us being thrown out of the league. Here is a good article for you. It possibly shows that Lambert threw both clubs by resigning

“Without any precedent to fall back on it''s difficult to gauge what possible punishments there might be,” he said. “There are specific clauses, rules and regulations for players and disputes arising from movement between clubs but none for managers - other than under general staff which is covered in rule 20.

“They could seek to use those guidelines for players as a starting point but you can''t really predict that and having done a little research I can''t find any previous case of a manager going before a tribunal in a similar way. Effectively the commission can choose to impose anything from a slap on the wrist to expulsion from the Football League but given there is no previous example of a club being expelled you feel it''s unlikely and even if that was the case they have leave to appeal.”

Colchester maintained from the outset that City had breached Football League rule 20 over Lambert''s exit which relates to the movement of personnel between clubs.

Cowling turned down Norwich''s initial request to appoint Lambert following Bryan Gunn''s departure after failing to agree a satisfactory compensation figure with City chief executive David McNally.

The Colchester chairman, however, then allowed Lambert to speak to Norwich officials but stipulated compensation would have to be agreed between the two parties.

“If the chairman says he gave permission for his manager to speak to another club it may have been on the understanding that he also imposed certain conditions,” said Sharpe. “As a result, perhaps he feels they were not adhered to. Both clubs clearly have a compensation figure in mind and of course if you are Colchester in this particular case then you could get a lower figure offered or even nothing at all.

“Without knowing the specifics of the case I would be surprised if it does go all the way to a tribunal - for that simple reason. It could just be a case of last minute brinkmanship. You have to factor in the nature of the clubs, their close proximity to each other and the fact they are both in the same league which are all elements you might not find in similar cases elsewhere.”

What everyone needs to reaiize is Lambert seriously fu*ked up our

season just two weeks into it by walking out,he spent heavily over the

summer on players and we started the season with two wins before he

decided to jump ship to go to a so called bigger club (No Supposidly about it, we get more than 3,000 for away games let alone at Home!).

Don''t get me wrong  i never liked Lambert and i know alot of the other

12 fans didn''t mainly because of the way he treats players (Makes them perform and show comittment?)

and i think Aidy will be successful in his time with us but you have to

wonder how we would be doing if Lambert had stayed or at least done the

right thing in walking out at a time which would have given us time to

find a new manager who would at least been able to get his own players

in. I think you will find all this is what has upset Robbie the most

because the money Lambert spend was Robbies OWN money (had Lambert not performed I''m sure Scowling would have sacked him, while he was employed he signed the best players available)

so surely you can all understand why he is seriously p**sed off with

the situation. Robbie Cowling was also right in not allowing Norwich

fans more tickets for the game at our place,no he shouldn''t have made

the comments what he did and just kept it at "no you ain''t having

anymore tickets" instead of saying that stuff  about how he would much

rather see an empty seat than one with a Norwich fan in and it

seriously backfired but i''m still puzzled as to why some Norwich fans

still think they had the right to have more tickets as you were given

20% of the ground anyway (a ground you cannot

fill, why not let us have the seats? If we couldn''t fill CR I would

rather my club made money by selling the place out with away seats)
.

As for punishment Norwich should get a heavy fine for obviously

breaking league rules and the compensation we receive should be

Lamberts and the other twos contracts paid up in full. Points deducted

will never happen and it wouldn''t be fair on the people that matter and

that is the fans,i don''t agree with points deducted for anything as the

fans always suffer and they ain''t the ones who done wrong...

As for what i would impose,i would kick you out the league and force

Lambert to return to Scotland to manage a team like Annan Athletic and

never allow him to return to England.......Only joking,i think if we

get the compensation we deserve then most Col U fans will be happy and

then we can hopefully all move on
