Im Dicky Too 0 Posted January 7, 2011 There are so many great things about being a Norwich fan and so much to be proud of, not least the last season and a half, but sometimes some of you let yourselves down...Some of you need a cyberspace slap in the face! You know we have a fantastic manager, he''s done an amazing job for us in the short time he''s been with us. Clearly he is going to be at the top of many clubs wish list when they need a new manager. This has been the first real bit of turbulance we''ve experienced and has had most of you running for the toilet!I came on here earlier today and read posts in which people were seriously debating who we should go for as a new manager. These people were then calling the more sane posters who questined what the hell they were talking about as being ''naive''!! Hello? We''ve also had the hypocracy of Norwich fans being outraged at the possibility that a club could do to us what we did to Colchester.But the most laughable thing of all is that you truly entertained the idea that Lambert would agree to go to Burnley!So, those of you who immediateley said ''the damage has already been done''... do you really stand by that now... do you really think we are in a weaker position, because clearly we are not.And those of you saying that Lambert was playing games and should have stamped on the speculation straight away... you should take a look at yourselves. The board''s statement said that they value Lambert and his team and want to keep them at the club. Lambert, who has siad many times that he loves it here, then went into a press conference in which he wanted to talk about the FA cup game, and simply said that he was very happy with the club''s statement... So, where did all the hysteria come from?? He said that he was happy with the club''s statement, which said that the club wanted him to stay. It''s simple, 1+1 = 2.The only issue today has been that most of you chose not to believe him. Now a lot of you are being cynical in saying that he''s been lining his pockets or putting himself in the shop window, and people are holding the whole saga up as an example of what''s wrong with modern football. But no, the fans are the ones not taking a man for his word, and possibly damaging the manager''s feelings towards the club with their hysterical over-reactions and accusations.If Lambert''s career with Norwich continues to be so successful, as we all hope it will, this situation is clearly going to happen again, and the waters are going to get much more choppy than Burnley. Next time, please leave your computers for a while or at least sit on your hands and give it some time... You''ve written so many times that you have faith in Lambert... he has faith in us, not many of you have shown much faith in him today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]So what your basically saying is "I told you so" despite the fact that at no stage did you "tell us so". Chances are that you too were cynical about the situation, and if you weren''t then you were in a very small minority. Agreeing with the club statement did not make sense, that is where the confusion lie. What was needed was Lambert to categorically state that he wasn''t going to Burnley, he made the decision not to. There was a fully justified worry amongst fans and journalists. The bookies believed that he was leaving, the media believed that he was going. If you did not for one second sit and ponder the possibility that he may have been about to leave then I am afraid that it is you who is the oddball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyGodWeArePoorToWatch 0 Posted January 7, 2011 Silly ??No why should we ?Had the club and lambo came out with the statment he did tonight this morning ,there would have been no speculation on here all day ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lambert is King 0 Posted January 7, 2011 No and I dont suppose we will ever know why it took so long to say no Im staying. Even the likes of Hucks and Roberts were not sure. McNallys last tweet sounds promising a good end to the day even gives the impression that the club werent sure. They obviously thought that Lambert was coming as going public could have ruint their chances with everybody else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
