holt is nothing like heskey, Holt is a skillful finisher and can also act as a target man. He is better than carew lets put it that way and big john was good for us.

My only real question about Paul Lamber is whether or not he will actually look abroad for players as well as at home.

I don`t think norwich could afford or attract a 7-8 million pound foreign player to carrow road.

He had to work in a certain way to get a decent squad together at norwich. Ie taking players from around the lower leagues.

Yep, I accept that. We'll have to wait and see. Wonder if he can pick up some gems from Germany?

I was thinking that myself, he has a good background with german football. I would think he follows it quite closely nowdays.

Why did Lambert offer his resignation? Was it because he got p1ssed off with Norwich? Cant see him going back to them if that’s the case.

I could be wrong, but I assumed it was because we asked to speak to him and Norwich flat-out refused without even asking him if he'd be interested. This and perhaps the story floating about that he's not getting as much money for transfers as he was promised or felt he deserved.

Either way, it looks like threatening to resign was the only way he could get the ball rolling.

I could be way off though of course.

I'm not sure how it works but can he not tell them he wants to talk to villa instead of them asking him does he want to talk to villa. At the end of the day Villa were going to have to pay Norwich compensation anyway. Does Nowich saying no make any difference?

Pat murphy said on the radio earlier that he has a clause in his contract which allows him to speak to another prem club. Norwich refused to honor that clause so he resigned instead.

Just looking at that avfc twitter feed. Lot of deluded norwich fans about. They seem to think one season in the prem puts them on a par with us as a club.

The midlands journos have been really on the ball with this.

That's life now... people tweet, they text..they email... they PM on message boards they DM on twitter...

In other words ordinary folk who happen to find out snippets of info share it...compare it and then work out what's more than likely going on.

Leaving some journos - the less savvy ones....with their nicely manicured fed "Official sources" ........standing.

You make a good point. If the internet wasn`t about the first we hear would be in the newspapers.

Just like the good ole days.

The midlands journos have been really on the ball with this.

The statement to me is

1. We want compensation (Fair enough imo)

2.If you change your mind theres still a job for you at Norwich.

Lot of people who can read on here, very impressed.

lambert looks like he has just arranged a murder in that photo.

I'm sorry but some fans don't half talk twaddle - Lerner is skint?? So much so he gave that previous incumbent 20 Million and the one before that 24 Million. Yeah he's skint - NOT.

Yes, he gave them a portion of the money we raked in from selling the family silver rather than actually spend anything from the vault

Lambert WILL have funds - they have NEVER been the issue - it's always been the high wages - get them down first then spend butkeep wages manageable.

If only that were true. Actions speak louder than words

It is true, we have brought the wage bill down. Randy has backed every manager.

Lambert will have plenty of money to spend.

The wage bill has been reduced, lambert will get near 30 million i think.

Remember mcleish had 20 million to spend.

Micky Quinn never fails to wind me up. Such an end of a bell.

I was listening to talkshite this morning for the first time in ages, the first two that were on were alright. Then that prick turned up and started blabbing his fat scouse mouth off.

Flicked the switch and turned it off.

I think of him as a younger MON who plays better football and actually has a plan B.

Mr wedge is correct.

I am buzzing this morning, this guy will kick some arse in that dressing room.

OH man, that picture. So glad mcleish is gone, it seems like a bad memory. Think i need to calm down before i shite my self.

We can actually enjoy the football again!

Don`t think i am going to get any work done today.

Martinez did want to come, we just didn't want him to in preference to others.

He obviously didn`t want to come as badly as lambert did he. Whatever, we are getting the right man.

Guys, we can pick out the pros and cons to any manager. If fergie took over here we could do the same.

At the end of the day is paul lambert a good young manager? Yes, i think he is. And he obviously wants to come and manage this club unlike martinez.

No manager is perfect, i think the majority will get behind mr lambert. Can`t wait for the new season now!!

get in line and take the players and managers from the teams just below you, same old no thinking no risk no bottle business.

We`re not going to get the ones from above us are we. Same old no thinking no brain villa fan.

I'm not sure about things speeding up. It's far more likely now Liverpool situation appears resolved that the Media are turning their attention our vacant position. This time last week Rodgers rejected Liverpool remember!

I'm also sure, contrary to some peoples opinions, we haven't sat around doing nothing.

No, we flew a sunday league manager over form norway so he could snub us over his missus. Then faulkner sat and looked at RM c.v for a week whilst he went barbados. Now we are finally going after the man we should have gone after two weeks ago.

He is not MON mark 2.

Such a lazy thing to say, all because he wears a tracksuit and glasses. His teams play nothing like MONs sides.

If he was number 1 candidate then they should have been on the bloody phone when eck got the sack instead of pissing about with OGS.

Time wasters.

lol what the **** are they waiting for? The have had 2 weeks and they will now leave it 24 hours lol.

Lambert or bust then... I just hope we haven't been faffing around and have made it clear that we want him.

This is the worry for me. If they wanted lambert surley they would have started the process the second eck was out the door.

The fans were chanting his name, if the board were in agreement they would have been on the phone straight away.

Has to be lambert or di matteo.

Only good young managers left, they need to pull their fingers out and make things happen.

Beginning to think that a few of you OGS nutcases were right, he was our first choice, when he pulled out they had to go back to the drawing board.

Looks like they are still standing at the drawing board with the felt tip firmly up their arses.
