Devils Advocate. 0 Posted September 30, 2011 Who we attract as the next boss, must depend on what salary package we can offer. I doubt whether we are the best payers in the world or even in East Anglia ????. Therefore the chances of attracting someone like Martin O''Neill must be slim and for the first time in our history would he be totally popular. If we have survived our first season in the Premiership, would we be able to attract someone like Rafa Benitez ? or would we be after Nigel Adkins or even Malky Mackay?. Speaking personally, I believe that we should do everything we can to keep Paul Lambert happy as he will be a very hard act to follow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted September 30, 2011 Would it be such a bad thing?I think he''s probably taken us as far as he can and now it''s time for some fresh blood to rejuvenate the players, who have looked a bit jaded and complacent recently. I''m okay with him seeing this season out but after that I think we should look at someone like Arsene Wenger who will be available and looking for a club that can''t buy success in - plus he plays football in the right way and would be a good fit.

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted September 30, 2011 CanaryJames"]In terms of this January, and ''big clubs'', he won''t go to: Manchester United - Ferguson. Immovable. Liverpool - Dalglish. Nearly immovable, and they''d want a ''bigger name''. Ridiculous as it is. Chelsea - AVB won''t be gone by then, and again would look on the continent. Ridiculous as it is. Man City - Will definitely look for a ''bigger name''. Possibly Mourinho? Arsenal - Probably the most likely, as I''m far from convinced Wenger will be there by January. However, as incredible as it sounds, I don''t think Lambert would leave us for them right now. That''s how far we''ve progressed/they''ve fallen. Spurs - Going well with Redknapp. Can''t see that changing any time soon. Any other English side - Not worth leaving us for, in my honest opinion. We have the potential to grow into a big-ish side, and Lambert knows that. Very true!I don''t fully subscribe to all this "Lambert will go to a bigger club" lark!People seem to overlook the fact that he can enhance his reputation by keeping us up and making us better. Lambert can also see that Norwich City FC is capable of being an established Premiership club playing in front of regular 30-35,000 crowds, which at present isn''t the case. Continued success with Lambert will see this happen!I''m sure that after fully establishing the club and further enhancing his reputation, Lambert would go to a bigger club but it would only be the right club. Like Canary James says outside of the clubs he mentioned at the moment nowhere else would have the possibilities, security and chance to make himself look better than what the ongoing project that is the current Norwich City success story and growth is!

nutty nigel 7,533 Posted October 1, 2011 I liked that Robert Chase me[Y] There was a bloke who knew his football. None of this z list celebrity cook nonsense. Chase was a mans man. A go getter who thought the world of the club and it''s fans. I remember how he brought us our very own ghetto blaster for extra in match entertainment. I remember how he ensured we didn''t get bored with watching the same players by selling our favourites each season. And most of all I remember those horses he brought in to entertain us after the games. Couldn''t fault the guy me....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stewfil 10 Posted October 6, 2011 Lambert enjoys God-like status at Norwich (deservedly so), and in the event that we get relegated, he will remain and continue the long term plan to establish us in the Premier. Most clubs that would likely come for him would be near the bottom of the table and have their fair share of highly paid non-performing stars, which is what Lambert would not want to work with. Therefore he would have to want to develop his own "young, hungry" team.Why move then? For higher compensation? He seems to me to be in the Wenger mold; developing young players, who will eventually get snapped up by rich clubs. Frustrating to a point, but maybe satisfying also to create international class players from promising ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
