Gerry Harrison 2 Posted May 15, 2011 Sad news, much be hard maintaining a happy manage when working the hours a football manager does, never mind working over 300 miles away from your family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crabbycanary 2 Posted May 15, 2011 Massive respect for someone who, with all that trauma and pressure going on in his private life, and all the focus on NCFC at the end of the season,he always maintained his composure,manners and dignity. What a top bloke, but tremendously sad for all concerned, it''s awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grif 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Sorry to hear about this. Hope Paul can use football and Norwich''s Premier League campaign as a way of taking his mind off things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row D Seat 7 0 Posted May 15, 2011 This is too personal to be writing about in a newspaper. I did notice PL wearing his wedding ring at the parade on Tuesday though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wizard 0 Posted May 15, 2011 [quote user="Thecanaryfan"]why didnt he bring his family to Norwich?[/quote] His wife didn''t want to leave behind all her friends and family and they didn''t want to unsettle the children at school. This was reported last year when the Celtic managers job came up. Sadly, the media will go bonkers now........Archant included no doubt. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/05/15/norwich-city-boss-paul-lambert-splits-from-his-childhood-sweetheart-wife-of-20-years-115875-23130104/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Militant Canary 0 Posted May 15, 2011 I know I am having those thoughts... I''m not proud of that.It seems to me (apologies for speculating about this) that this was a long time coming. Afterall, he was manager at Colchester and Wycombe before us; and it must be as difficult to get back to Scotland from those two places as it is here.I''m just saying: I don''t think it had anything to do with managing Norwich.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 15, 2011 Massive respect to Paul for maintaining his focus and continuing to over perform in his job with all this going on. I don''t think I could have done that and I am not in the media spotlight everyday, with every single thing I do being analysed by so many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
:D for Chris Hughton 0 Posted May 15, 2011 The article is written by Steven Smith. Surely he''s got better things to do than sell stories to newspapers about the manager... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Its a shame for him. But this kind of story really shouldn''t be in the public eye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 219 Posted May 15, 2011 This is, IMO, very sad news. Norwich City always wants to be seen as a family club and the fans seem to like it being that way too, so it''s such a shame that it hasn''t worked like that for our boss.I also agree that this shouldn''t really be in the public domain.I hope things can be worked out. After all, we want a happy manager !!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CDMullins 435 Posted May 15, 2011 My selfish first thought was sh1t, this isnt good for us.All the best to PL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted May 15, 2011 I think I would have had to leave a managers job to be with my family imo!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Row D Seat 7 0 Posted May 15, 2011 It would be hugely disrespectful for us to speculate on why and what the circumstances were, and also to say what we would have done.We love this manager and if he decided to leave Norwich because of family reasons, it would make me respect him more, if that''s possible.Whatever will be, will be.

ur just a man in a jacket 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Must be hard for him, I remember after scunny game he had to rush off as going back to Scotland for mothers day. He is / was a family man, husband, dad after all and as fans should respect that. Sorry but promotion to the PL is nothing compared to a solid happy family and I feel for Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted May 15, 2011 Gutted for him. All this time the club have been celebrating, but behind the scenes Lambert must of been having a dreadfull time in his personal life. Huge respect for the man, and wouldn''t blame him one bit if he wanted to move back to Scotland to save his family from breaking up...hopefully for selfish reasons though he will see trying to keep Norwich as a good familiar distraction.
