Irn Bru Canary 0 Posted January 7, 2011 I have followed Lambert since his Motherwell days and I would bet that he is seeing this an opportunity to force the boards hand to give him the funds to have a decent chance at promotion. The impression he gave after Middlesborough was that funds were getting in the way of his ambition/plans. As he is unsure whether the board will bow to his demands he is clearly sitting on the fence. When and if the board give him the backing he will rule himself out of the Burnley job. Fail to back him and he will be off as I am sure Burnley will have already sounded out his agent and dangled the carrot of the available transfer funds remaining from the parachute payments they received. Personally I think he wants to stay as he sees the whole Norwich setup from the fans to the ground as Premier League standard but he is clearly very ambitious and wont see his plans thwarted by the boardroom.

......and Smith must score. 1,596 Posted January 7, 2011 Sounds logical.If that is the case we''ll have to wait and see how the Board respond. David McNally has often said that financial constraints are a necessary part and parcel of life at NCFC so this may put his reported close relationship with the manager well and truly to the test...
