Jacko 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Really saddened to hear this. The man has behaved with unbelievable dignity and professionalism towards Norwich in the circumstances. I only hope we (as in the supporters, media and the club) can do likewise for him in this situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil Monkey 52 Posted May 16, 2011 Ha! Only Morty... [;)] Sad news, obviously, but as others have said its none of our business. From a completely selfish point of view, I know from recent experience how these things can distract and depress you, whether its intentional or not. But Lambert, I feel, is a stronger character than I and I suspect he''ll cope as well as he can. That''s pretty much all I''d like to say no the matter and I hope this thread drops down as soon as people have got used to the news (its only natural to comment, given the circumstances, I just hope its not still here in 2 weeks'' time).

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted May 16, 2011 [quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="First Wizard"]This thread needs to end now mods.......please. [/quote]Erm.....didn''t you START this thread on another site wiz? [:O][:D][/quote] --- Priceless (Wiz starting a thread elsewhere) assuming it is true. But in defence of the Mirror, this - although very sad - is a valid story because of the reason (stressed by the paper) for the break-up. If there were only personal reasons for the split that wouldn''t be news, but the specific connection between the professional and the personal (which was certainly mentioned on this board as a possible factor when Burnley wanted him) makes it so. And far from showing Lambert in a bad light this story and this thread should only evoke sympathy. It should also bring home to fans (and I include myself) that we often forget the human element. Many people in football are driven individuals (it is what makes them successful) but there can be a cost. Lambert is in part the brilliant manager he is because of tough career choices - leaving Scotland and going to Germany, managing in England rather than Scotland, for example. We have greatly benefited from those decisions; Lambert and his family have suffered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
