goonuppersee 0 Posted May 14, 2012 [quote user="Shaker Maker"]Are we all choosing to ignore the "its hard to tell" quote then?People are allowed to worry if they want to.[/quote]Where is he quoted as saying "its hard to tell" and what was the exact question that was put to him? Journo''s (including Archant ones) will always print part of a quote and we never get to know how or in what context the question was posed.Watch/listen to his interview with Dan O''Hagan from the BBChttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17973120much more positive and talks about planning for next seasonIf he stays, he stays. If he goes, he goes. One thing thats sure is that we''re in a much better place than we were when he took over and if he goes I trust McNally and the board to install a capable replacement from whats sure to be a host of applicants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K Lo 221 Posted May 14, 2012 I heard the McNally interview on Radio Norfolk yesterday. I don''t think I could want a better person in charge at CR. He seemed so tottally in charge and committed to the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRobert 38 Posted May 14, 2012 There''s a quote at the bottom of the Petrov article which nobody seems to take any notice of:Lambert himself expects no let up when the final whistle goes tomorrow with the planning already taking shape for next season. The City chief will step up his recruitment drive along with finalising the club’s pre-season schedule - minus the usual summer training trip to Germany.“I’m not going to tell you at the minute (where we are going),” he said. “Some of the games are already lined up. There is a good possibility of that (continental opposition at home) and one or two away. It will be the normal routine to get fitness and get people fit. (Adam) Drury’s testimonial game puts things back because we have the Celtic match and hopefully they bring their normal crowd coming down here and probably take over the whole of Norwich for the night. That is obviously a game he deserves to get so we’ll be back in July. I know where we are going and what is happening. Everything is in place.”Does that sound like someone running for the exit?

I do agree with your last sentence, but it would seem to be a little undermined by the fact that Villa have apparently asked permission in the last hour to speak to PL. I appreciate that doesn''t mean he will go there of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings of a Sparrow 1,409 Posted May 14, 2012 I''ve just seen the footage of the quote on Anglia TV.It didn''t smack of a ringing endorsement that he''ll still be here at the start of the next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
