Empty Mirror 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Those were carefully chosen words. He said "At this moment in time I never want to leave".Which leaves the door not merely ajar but wide open to the possibility that at some future moment he will want to leave. We''re his fourth club in six years. By August, he''ll have been with us longer than he''s been anywhere else. I''d love him to stay but the reality is that he''ll go, and probably soon (especially if we do well). And when it happens no point wailing or trying to find scapegoats; McNally got Lambert in, and we''ll have to trust McNally to get it right next time too.In the mean time, enjoy Lambert whilst we have him.

Alejandra 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Only mention it, as the worshipping of Lambert is similar to how Burnley fans were with Coyle before he leftBut I think he''ll see out another full season with Norwich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Carrow 394 Posted May 25, 2011 Heard a whisper of a £5m compensation clause a few days ago......Has there been any mention of this? Great news, but i think the grapevine was doing it`s job so not a surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry 0 Posted May 25, 2011 "Therefore after protracted and professional negotiations, we are thrilled to report we have a new deal. Paul has stressed to me he has never wished to leave as he and the fans have unfinished business in the Premier League.Funny how that last bit has been left out of peoples quotes.

Anyway. Whatever. A great day for NCFC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
