    Nowhere near as broad as Lambert - I saw an interview piece on SSN yesterday and understood every syllable <ok>

    I always wondered if players and everyone else could understand Lambert - did they simply pretend to and then think deeply about what they should be doing and implement this - the result was success.

    This could be part two who knows!

    Straight into battle too, as he's going to be in the dugout tomorrow.

    Not many managers would do that!

    I agree with Canario as well. It was good to see Neil's comment on this:

    "I'm absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to manage a club of the stature of Norwich," Neil told the club's official website. "It's an exciting challenge at a huge club and one that I'm looking forward to. I've watched a lot of Premier League and Championship football over the years and I've always been really impressed with Carrow Road and the Norwich fans and the way they get the place going when they get behind the team. It's a forward-thinking club with a fantastic infrastructure and big ambition, which matches my own ambitions."

    Chief executive David McNally added: "We're delighted that Alex has agreed to become Norwich City's new manager and we hope he's here for a long time. It was important for us to have somebody who had the drive, ambition and commitment to work as hard as it takes to take the club forward. Lots of names were under consideration, but for us, as the Board of Norwich City Football Club, he was the unanimous choice and the first choice."

    Just wonder how going for the unknown quantity might give us an edge over some Championship teams who might have put feet up if faced with the old hang dog usual suspects like Warnock

    Well, it seems Russell Martin has had pretty much a free reign in team/positional selection so far this season......<whistle>

    Just a technical point Supers, but it's 'bated breath' (derived from abated in the sense of lessened). I'd hate for people to think you've been eating bait! :emoticon-0105-wink:
