it is somewhat ironic that he says he's 'disappointed' with norwich city, seeing as he walked out and left everyone else disappointed. not sure i can have much sympathy with him over that.
He's made no secret that his disappointment is with Bowkett for 'grassing him in' if you like, he'd probably of rather the me.ter was kept privatat
naturally, this is not on the same scale, but when lambert left i said his successor will have issues, much like when ferguson finally leaves man united. his successor will have to perform miracles to keep the natives happy. hughton, on a smaller scale, has to do likewise in the eyes of some
The thing that worries me is that I am totally convinced that Chris is the right man to take us forward, I am also convinced that he's a proud and honest man! I hope and pray that the doom-mongers amongst our fans don't force him to resign because he feels he's let us down! Those of you who wish him gone, who would you recommend in his stead? Colin????
Re. Cruyff's pertinent post (above), in one of his first interviews after taking over at Villa, Lambert said that Norwich refused him permission to speak to Villa "on a technicality", hence prompting his resignation. Sounds as if this "technicality" may well be the crux of it and it will boil down to whether it was indeed a "technicality" or something contractual. Anyway, we've got more important things to discuss -- like football!
Presumably you have a copy of his contract to state this? We don't know the exact ins and outs of it, the thing is would a court deem 3 hours notice enough? I don't know but it'll come out in the wash. I don't believe McNally dropped the ball here I'd find that staggering but we'll find out soon enough Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
This is all carp if he was refused permission how did he do the deal and leave ? It's all about the Yanks at villa trying to negate some of the compo to us cause they r a screwed up little club with no money
The technicality was most likely whether Villa is a step up from us or not. He probably had a clause stating he could talk to bigger clubs but both sides disagreed whether Villa is actually a step up right now. Reminds be a lot of Coyle moving to Bolton. Although that one was even more daft, there's nothing between Burnley and Bolton in terms of size or prospects. From a neutral perspective you could kind of understand Lambert deciding to switch clubs. Hardly anyone from Norwich really cares about him leaving anymore, it's not the point. We're extremely pissed off because we're probably the poorest club in the PL, we backed him and gave him everything he wanted here to progress his career and he's trying to get 2 million out of us the cu*t!
Lamberts of a piece of **** let's forget about the little bastard. Remove him from the history books he has zero respect for this club and playing the fans card isn't helping him the gutter dwelling prick. If he wins the court case I hope he buys himself a suit as you can't always look like 15 year old chav Paul and more importantly acting lessons to compensate for his dull personality. I was hoping to forget the summer and get on with our season. I hope this situation acts a positive and galvanises our club.
Hope Macnally leaves his hall of fame picture in the away dugout for him when they come here that would be funny
Wycombe fan in peace. Sadly, this does not surprise me at all. Lambert is a souless, aloof money grabber with no idea of loyalty. He obviously tried to fob you lot off with fake declarations of regret about leaving when all the time he was plotting this. Better off without him. Funnily enough, I reckon Villa will be too come Xmas! Good luck with the rest of your season - us little teams are rooting for you
Bang on the money mate This has to be the best news Crissy Hootun has had in a while and hopefully this will finally make those fans still hankering after the return of the 'messiah' to fnially move on and get behind him 100%, galvanising the club as you say. Three points tomorrow wouldn't do him too much harm either
1950, the fact is he is suing a club which hugely contributed to his career, gave him a great reputation and as well as that showed faith in him, both the fans and the board. To sue a club for for ultimately getting what you wanted, but being delayed by three hours is disgraceful. We may have "breached" the contract but the thing that pisses me off is the fact the outcome was to his favour anyway. It couldn't have worked out better for him, HE HAS GOT WHAT HE WANTED and become Villa manager. What's the ****ing problem with him?
