Club statement

So, he applied for the job... but you went with Neil Warnock. Hmm...

 

Ken Bates.

 

If Lambert applied for the Leeds job, he would of been named manager. Absolute 100% bullshit.

I literally am ing here.

 

I will laugh all I want because your reliable source probably works in a Heinz factory - Stroll on utter bollocks

 

What will be, will be.

All clubs go through good times and bad. We had some VERY bad times and the past three years have been VERY good times. Our immediate future depends largely on the replacement. I have no doubt that the club will appoint a capable replacement.

 

In McNally we trust!!!

 

Lambert applied for the Leeds job

 

Just shows the level of your knowledge. His family do not live in Norwich, never have. He divorced his wife shortly after moving to Norwich. She has lived in Glasgow the whole time.

 

I did hear that PL applied for the managers job at a drive through MacDonalds...............

 

More chance than applying for the Leeds job.

 

Perhaps that is why he's stayed so long, do you know how hard it is to get to Glasgow from here?

 

I think Grant Holt was keen to join him...............

 

I had to laugh when simple Simon said PL didn't get the job because of Bates!

Bates is the very reason PL would NOT have applied for the job in the first place!

 

Very poor attempt at a wind-up.

What do you reckon about Lambert, Dave?

 

I'm shell-shocked to be honest! I thought the MON fall-out at Villa was our trump card, seems like I was wrong, unless it is just a fit of pique at not being allowed to talk to them!

IDMWT

 

The one silver-lining to come out of this is that it has happened in the close season when there are no premier league games being played and not 3 or 4 months into the season. At least we can concentrate on getting the right man in ready for next season and he can concentrate on getting the players prepared for next season from the start and will be able to bring in the players he requires to strengthen the squad when the transfer window opens. We just need McNally to move swiftly to appoint the right manager and his record apparently is a good one - He appointed a certain Roy Hodgson as manager when he was at Fulham, and look where he is now.

 

You live by the sword, and die by the sword.

Thanks for a great 3 years Paul, but at the end of the day we've still got McNasty

 

I was merely reporting what I had heard from a normally very reliable source (he's also not the only person to have heard it). It doesn't seem completely far-fetched to me that there is some personal reason Lambert might want to leave, which would mean he would try for any decent job going. Whether it is true and if so why Bates turned him down I don't know, just passing on what I thought was some relevant information.

 

Why does my post keep getting deleted????!!!!!

 

In fact I'm hearing now he's been wanting to move closer to Scotland. Once again just what I'm hearing, not claiming it's necessarily true.
