Seriously hope not but the man's driven and ambitious and will one day become the boss of a top club - maybe Man U or his ex club Dortmund.
One message for the Villa players though - expect to come in 2 weeks early from your summer hols for fitness training - happened with Colchester players just prior to the 7-1 Norwich thrashing a few years ago. Lambo measures fitness levels against German standards - no surprise that Norwich ran the most yards of all sides in Premier League campaign.
Cheers Paul, top man.

if he goes to villa all he can do is fail, putting a big dent in his healthy looking cv, he'll sit tight and wait for a better chance imo.
owner wants to save money not spend so you get stuck with the donkies.
its a bad job for ex~wycombe managers too.

I would argue that it's a good time to take the reins at Villa. They are at an all time low, and maybe the only way is up.
Gus Poyet is the interesting one in this market....fits the bill perfectly of being a "young", "vibrant" manager.
norwichrob - whats the feeling in norwich - do you think he will leave?
Trust me - he won't fail, knowledge of the game and tactical awareness has been extremely impressive - Norwich were worse than hopeless when he arrived, the man's a miracle worker...
not sure maggot as the owner was said to want to stop spending, can he improve with the players there already?
I think the feeling has always been here that he will leave when he's made his mark, if it was Liverpool it would be a certainty but I still feel he will go.
The only certainty is that he will get the best out of the players - Norwich team entirely made up of League 1 & Championship players, no prima donnas or foreigners, he puts his faith in young, hungry players - so maybe a clear out of sorts at Villa over the summer.
Villa bigger in the eyes of the establishment, and a good chance to revive the glory days?
their glory days were 30 years ago - they don't have the finances to compete today
i think he will move to a club where finances are in place ,maybe in 2 years

What's he like in the transfer market that's my main concern as there will be lots of coming and goings. I think realists will realise Lambert would jump at the chance to manage such a big club.
he would be going to a bigger club with possibly more money to spend and better players already at villa than he has at norwich and he will get more money personally,if offered the job i would be shocked if he didnt go
How many European Cups, League Titles FA Cups etc have Man City won please? Answer nowhere near as many as Aston Villa.
You don't need that much money...just somebody who knows what they're doing. See Levante, Newcastle etc
so the past indicates that you are a big club?
nearly going down means nothing?

What's not to like about the Villa job?
Lerner will back him.
A very good academy, with many youngsters already forced into first team action.
Follows on from a dismal season with expectation at its lowest ebb.
The biggest club for miles around, with the potential to be putting 40k bums on seats with the right football.
I don't want to patronise Norwich, but the club is fairly limited in terms of growth. He probably has taken them as far as he can (some leeway there perhaps).
If offered it, he'd be mad not too IMHO.

MT - typical short-sighted Sky Sports fan. Only today matters.
Money Tree. Stop trying to look intelligent. Stick to your FREE MUNNY threads. This is about one of the GIANTS OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL.
Norwich are a fair sized club tbf not in Villa's league obviously..
hell yes, you cant use the past to hide how sh1t villa are right now.
I suppose you only have to look @ wednesday they get 40,000 so a few lower class teams can be big clubs.
but villa have a big problem why would you want that for a job? if it goes wrong it will all be lamberts fault how sh1t they are will be forgotten.

Villa were 9th before the injury crisis took out 5 or 6 first team players.
They need to strengthen no doubt, but the squad isn't as weak as the media would have everyone believe.

I really rate Lambert but the Villa job looks a poisoned chalice for a while, too many players finished, not sure if the youngsters are up to it, who can they attract?
Sit tight Lambert, you'll get better opportunities

I suppose the question for PL to consider is how much further can he take Norwich as stated earlier, perhaps a couple of places at best, main issue for Norwich fans is that we could go back as quick as we came if he and his coaching team leave.
Managerial moves are all about timing. Villa is perfect for a manager like Lambert to take. He has done a fabulous job at Norwich back to back promotions and survival but the second season is always tough. If he left Norwich now he would have left after three incredible years. The wage bill and transfer budget at Villa will be higher than Norwich. Villa also have a good crop of youngsters coming through. A good manager with a few shrewd signing will probably have them comfortable mid table.
I would have thought this was the perfect time for Lambert to move on and Villa are a big club under performing. It wouldn't be hard for him to improve their position and in turn further enhance his reputation which would make him a contender for a really big club in two to three years time.

Norwich will surely go back down the food chain and gobble up the next big thing in the lower league like they did with Lambert.
The club is in fabulous shape, and punching well above its weight. They will have the pick of the crop. I wouldn't be so despondent NR. That's IF he goes, which at this stage is far from certain.
Villa went very left field to get Mcleish, who knows what Lerner and co have in mind.

Poisoned chalice but Lambert to Villa and to take Grant Holt with him was mentioned more then a couple of times over the last 3 months.
I don't think he can do much more with the Norwich team if I'm being honest very impressed he kept them up.

Dorky:
What's this about 3 of your players been thrown out of Gategrashes in Broad St.
Seems they went up to 3 young girls & I think the words were....
"Alright girls we play for aston villaaaaa"
Girls reply..
"Fook~off you aston vile b`ards"
Collins,Delph & Herd got thrown out.
Best about it was.....
"It was "STUDENT NIGHT" !!!!!!!!
K`R`O.

Grant Holt and Bent would tear up the league. We'll have Hoolahan too he looks quality.
Given's getting on bit - might as well have Ruddy n all..
Don't worry yet Rob I still feel the MON connection may put Randy off, but we'll have to see..
Seen as many as MON's prodigee even copies many of his traits and openly consults him on matters even now.
If Norwich lost Lambert they would be strong candidates for the drop.
as bad as they are at the moment any idiot should be getting villa finishing in the top 10 at worst
top 10? that's about their mark. 6th in a good season 10th in a bad season.
but will that be enough for the fans?
he could go there and have a 12th then 8th finish, then the fans would start getting on his back.
that job is a kick up the bowlarks to ferkhall.
no money to spend and dwindling crowds.
toxic club.

i'd certainly agree that the likes of lambert and rodgers should steer well clear. better opportunities should come along sooner or later
AS a lifelong Norwich fan, I fear that he may go to Villa. He has probably taken us as far as he can. Can we possibly finish higher next season than this? Almost certainly not, but for sure not more than a place or two. And Villa are on their @rses.....great time to go there I wold have thought. Lambo is an absolutely brilliant club manager......fantastic man manager, outstanding with the fans and also manages up very, very well.
I would be gutted to see him leave, but if he does I wish him well. Villa are a bigger club than we are and that is not likely to change.
Lambert is destined for the very top in the managerial game and Villa is, I fear, another step in that direction.

Who would have thought when he failed in Scotland with lowly Livingston 4 years later he would be the new "messiah"
Its consolidation time at da billa so theres only one man, step forward Mick McM.

Packy Heard from the bench in rotterdam?
he won't go to villa
especially after his mentor MO walked out

Looks like it may not be Lambert. Lerner's jet apparently gone to Norway. Good source on Villa board believes Solskjaer's appointment is imminent.
just been on central news they are interviewing ole gunner solksjaer
Reliable sources seem to think its NAILED ON at this point. Expecting the announcement/unveiling to be completed by Monday.
central news usually are a couple of days behind everyone else
Randy is confirmed as being in Norway at the moment all the trusted ITK's saying it's on yet you can still get 2.4 
Typical off the wall Randy appointment.

Lambo's work is done @ Norwich - perfect time to go - we can't get much better in league terms...cheers Paul, all the best, it's been a great ride...
