Lambert walks out

[CJ]

can someone do a little summary for me

i am not up to speed on this

[Alex]

Well please get up to speed then.

[Gingawaria]

If it were league position, it wouldn't be a bigger club clause really.

Which is why I'm thinking it could be on league position as surely Norwich can't argue that Villa aren't a bigger club.

[dom9]

That's not going to go down well

[Hollowman]

Weren't Norwich fined for similarly tapping Lambert up when he was at Colchester?

[Alex]

Yeah something like that, basically he quit Colchester for no reason, then 2 days later appeared at Norwich.

[Vermilion]

Lambert appointed Villa Manager.

[Phoenix07]

Paul Lambert's CV isn't bad when you look at it, and I do wonder why he was never linked with the Liverpool or Tottenham job (when Redknapp was rumoured to be leaving).

Solid win percentages, took his badges in Germany, back-to-back promotions with Norwich, securing a mid-table Premier League position.

Just wondering what you think?

[colin85]

I was thinking he could end up with the man utd job if he does well at villa,which I think he will.

[Bender]

Birmingham have given Norwich City permission to speak to Chris Hughton regarding their vacant manager's position.

He'd be a good replacement.

[Lee]

He'd be a good replacement.

Definitely.

I see Lambert said earlier that he hasn't even considered signing Holt. Hmm, okay then.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Definitely.

I see Lambert said earlier that he hasn't even considered signing Holt. Hmm, okay then.

I can't see him doing as well as last year even with Holt staying. Surviving again next year is crucial, might set them up for a few seasons if they do things right.

[Lee]

Who knows really.

I suppose we all tipped them and Swansea to go down last season. Going to be a huge summer for the newly promoted teams and the likes of Norwich and Wigan.

I can see West Ham being okay, but I think Reading and Southampton will really struggle. Wigan will be there again. Norwich could slide.

So they'll all stay up after saying that.

Originally I wanted Lambert ahead of Martinez and Rogers.

think he will make a top top boss one day. although very happy with our Brendan now
