Lambert for England?

[Yellow Messiah 0]

Hopefully Lambert''s name isn''t raised and the job goes to Redknapp. But I''m sure if he was appointed he would do well as he has excellent man- management skills and would be able to unite England like he united us.

Not many good English managers around anyway so Redknapp is the obvious choice but would you turn your nose up at Mourinho or Wenger just because they are not English?

[Yellow Messiah 0]

Praying that Tottenham won''t make a move for Lambert.

[Gingerpele 0]

Lambert will not go to Spurs.

I don''t even think Redkanpp will be the next England manager to be honest, yes he''s the ''best'' English manager at the moment, but doesn''t mean he wants the job, why would he leave Spurs? He probably earns more money with Spurs anyway...

If he does take over England, I think Spurs would be after someone more experienced, the position their in, and the budget they have, they don''t need to risk brining in someone like Lambert. To be honest I think Jose Mourinho is more likely to join Spurs than Lambert, he seems to want away from Madrid, and come back to England, unless Man.C sack their manager, a Harryless Spurs could be Jose''s best chance of a job back in the Prem.

I think Ancelotti will go to Tottenham.

Redknapp has clearly stated that he wants the England job... after which he''ll retire.Likely he will then buy AFC Bournemouth and take them as high as they''ll go.... no doubt with Jaimie as Manager.

I just don''t think anyone is capable of making that lot play as a team, even our beloved PL.    You have a greedy, unprincipled, spoilt, overpaid, arrogant, out of touch bunch of prima donnas who are only interested in themselves and even if there are afew good ones amongst them they don''t stand a chance given the predominance of the old guard who hold sway. 

 

I will only have interest in England if they get in a manager who clears out the old guard and brings in young hungry players, even if it means going into the lower leagues to get them...............oh, on second thoughts King Lambo might be able to do it after all.................

I can''t see the FA appointing anyone this time who isn''t English, and in any case, I would be amazed if a Scot like Lambert would have the slightest interest in managing England - maybe he''d like to be the Scotland manager when he''s finished his club managerial career. We have had the situation under Capello of having a manager who doesn''t speak very good English, and when it''s the native tongue of every one of your players that seems a bit daft to me. So I think it''ll be a Brit, and an English Brit at that.

[Aggy 944]

Pretty sure it''ll be an Englishman this time. The only question for me is if Harry will take it now, or after the Euros.

I can see someone else (maybe Pearce) becoming caretaker for the friendlies and the Euros, so that Harry can concentrate on Spurs and won''t be chucked in at the deep end for the Euros. Then afterwards he can come in and has got a full 2 years of building his own squad style before the pressure of a tournament.

Ancelotti is at PSG

If Paul Lambert wasn''t our boss, I''d be shouting for him to be England manager. He is going to be a great manager if he isn''t already and the longer he stays at Norwich, the better we will be.

I do not see why Harry Redknapp is even in with a shout for the England job, he  lacks International experience and after the Court case appears to be dodgy just like Terry Venables. I would appoint Guus Hiddink until after the Euro''s and Stuart Pearce as the heir apparent. I realise that Pearce was not the greatest club manager, but we are talking International football here and "Psycho" has already served an apprenticeship as one of Fabio''s helpers and of course as England Under 21 boss where he has brought on many of the future full international players.

[spencer 1970 214]

horrible scenario.

''Arry > England, Moyes > Spurs, Lambert > Everton.

Agreed its fag packet maths but it could be likely.

I would personally like Pearce to get the job and ''Arry to get it after the Euro''s giving Spurs enpough time to get a bigger name in (Mourinho maybe?)

[Firedawg 3]

I am not a big fan of arry though I do think he will get the job. The tabloid press has him ''shoe horned '' in already and Rooooney tweeted he wants him so it must happen.

I for one don''t go in for all this '' he must be English '' crap either - how about Jose, now that would be fun !

There is zero chance of Lambert managing England, but in the merry-go-round that will result afterwards there is more than likely to be a job he would consider a move to - whether it be Tottenham (which I doubt) or another club who loses their manager to Tottenham (or any other team affected by the managerial switches).

 

There are of course several candidates to take over at Spurs if/when ''Arry leaves. Hopefully it will be someone like Benitez which would mean there is no role for Lambert to fill. I''m sure most fans are starting to realise that it is only a matter of time before Lambert is tempted away from Norwich, and I have a horrible feeling it might be for a team not as big as many would expect.

[pete 372]

Lambert excellent manager doing what he does which he can do at City, finding and developing young, hungry english/british players.  However managing one of the big 6 would he be allowed to do this, he would be encouraged to pursue foreign big time charlies with immense ego''s and salaries to match.  Could he cope? Of course but would he enjoy this in the long run? I doubt it.  Pl would run the club as he thinks fit but would he be allowed to can''t see Roman and the rest buying into the PL vision.

Lets hope he stays at City to see out the plan.  What realluy could a Villa offer?.

Whatever, he''s still not going.

[Row Q 0]

Spencer, your horrible

scenario. I was thinking something similar. How about O''Neill to

Spurs, Lambert to Sunderland? O''Neill has been known to bugger off.

May be tempted. However, I don’t really think Sunderland have

more to offer Lambert than us. A bigger budget perhaps but is that

what he is strongest with?

[Shyster 0]

Does anybody else find it odd that with all the top Scottish managers out there they persevere with the likes of Craig Levein?

[Jonzey 0]

The managerial merry-go-round is always a tricky one to call.But let''s assume Redknapp leaves Spurs in the summer to take over England. Spurs could replace him with Capello or Benitez who are free agents or steal somebody. Brendan Rogers would suit Spurs more so than Lambert for his playing style and he has more of a history of leaving a club easily than Lambert. Either way I think it''s a similar situation to the Grant Holt / Rangers rubbish that went on last week. Holt knows he has a great thing going here, so does Lambert. While it''s all going so well why risk a move?

[kick it off 2,062]

I think Lambert has settled with us for the next few years in my book. He knows if he keeps achieving with us then he will be looking at a big job in a few years - Spurs is a big job in my book, but I don''t see them going for someone up and coming and chancing their best season for several years on a bloke with 6 months Prem experience IF Redknapp goes. They will surely go with an older head?

I''m not worried about teams slightly bigger in size or budget, there is no real benefit to Lambo moving to one of these, and I''m sure if someone offers him a massive wedge, the board will just give him a pay rise so his head isn''t turned - they know his value to this football club.

I read somewhere O''Neill is a Sunderland fan which is why he took that particular job. dunno if that''s true but if it is then I don''t see him jumping ship anytime soon.

As mentioned above, not only is Ancelotti at PSG but he has spent a fortune in the transfer window, I don''t see him walking away just yet.

If Harry leaves spurs, then I think they will be looking at managers closer to the Ancelotti mould than the Lambert one. I believe Guus Hiddink is still unemployed and I wouldn''t be surprised to see him installed at WHL.

Lambert like most footballers and managers know never to look ahead too far - if he was offered a job he considered bigger, or with better oppertunities he would take it - the offer may never come again. It''s similar when he was asked last season if promotion had come too soon for Norwich, he said you have to go for it because you may not get another chance. Norwich are on a good thing at the moment, but as with all things in football the future is unpredictable and who knows what can happen over the next 18 months. Norwich could suddenly become awful, and Lambert''s stock would start falling; he would have missed out on his chance to move up to a big club.

 

Hiddink has pretty much ruled himself out of club management again, he has failed massively in his last two jobs - mainly because he wasn''t really interested, when he took the Turkey job he talked more about the fantastic weather and lifestyle in Istanbul more than the football team. He wants a comfortable Director of Football job where he can basically put his feet up and go and watch football games across Europe - I imagine he will start doing this role at Chelsea in the not to distant future.

It really does not matter who manages England because quite frankly since the Sky takeover there are hardly any good English players in the Premier League. I would not bother to cross the road to watch the current team.

From our aspect the most worrying thing is the potential loss of Paul Lambert in any merry go round. However I am not quite sure how Paul will handle a bunch of fancy dans at another Club.

If he can''t handle fancy dans then he will never manage a team above the 7th or 8th place. I have no doubts he can handle them - Sir Alex isn''t a man who I would imagine likes a ''fancy dan'' but if they are talented he will work with them.

....i''ve said before that the only "big six" club that fits the lambert profile, for the moment, is arsenal. they took wenger from obscurity so appointing lambert could be considered less of a risk and their policy oy buyiny prospects and improving them is made forPL.

You heard it here first.  When Pardew leaves Newcastle, whether that be sacked at some point in the future, or sooner as England manager or in the merry go round associated with the England job; Paul Lambert and crew will up sticks to the land of magpies and brown ale and will bring Newcastle their first major trophy in decades.[:O][:O][:O]

No matter how bad things get for the England team, I could never see the FA descend to the indignity of appointing a Scotsman as national team manager.A Swede, yes. An Italian, well OK. But a Scot......never!Anyway I can''t imagine PL wanting to manage the old enemy.[:)]
