LAMBERT WILL NOT GO TO VILLA

The talks have already taken place. The approach is for his services

except going to a bigger club?

A Slightly* bigger club. With worse players, critical fan's, old dead wood players, why would he put himself in that situation. He's bought good young players for norwich and we'll want to stick with them. He would of seen how bad villa were when his Weakened Norwich team beat them last game of the season he's not stupid he would'nt go there it's a fact

Double his salary?

Can Norwich pay £24 million for a player?

villa cant now, thats why MON spewed it.

Even if they could Lambert would'nt. That's what dumb people like you don't understand he doesnt go out and buy big names or big price players from abroad he shops in the lower league's and gives them a chance. Norwich also have money now so he's gona stay unless some one big comes in. Sorry Villa fans your gona have to look elsewhere

If Lambert left for Villa he would be a mug.Lambert is no mug but,MONEY TALKS

goldenboy89 = seething norwich fan

NAP, full bank job, nailed-on, etc.

I support Arsenal you ice cream. Your obv a Villa fan, you'd be lucky to get Mick McCarthy mate...

Villa = much bigger club, better training facilities, better youth squad, better team in general, a sane chairman! Why would anyone choose Norwich over Villa?

You can't look at the last 2 years, we have massively under achieved! We are a top 10 club for sure, we were top 6 with O'neill and 2 extra players (Young and Milner)!

A decent manager with good ATTACKING tactics is what this club needs!

He won't go to Aston, its a complete sh1thole with mugs all over the place.
Norfolk > Aston

Neil Moxley ‏@Neil_Moxley_DM

#avfc have briefed this week that manager w/b in place by the w\end. Ergo expect any negs with Lambert to be swift.

I think it's quite obvious talks are at an advanced stage and the "approach" is us basically telling Norwich we're having your manager now lets sort out the paperwork.

Agree ala Rodgers/Liverpool move it looks like most of the work has been done already.

Rumblings Lambert may resign if Norwich don't cooperate fully.  Looks like he's going to Villa one way or another.

peter lansley ‏@LansleyTimes

Paul Lambert walks out on #ncfc after bust up on being refused permission to talk to #avfc who will now look to appoint him as new manager

Who's peter lansley?

never mind

A few sources now claiming this to be true.  Looking truly NAILED ON for Villa now, unless Villa don't want him anymore! lol

I doubt he'd leave unless a deal was done! Love it when people get proved wrong lol!

Wasn't aware but he walked out on Colchester as well?  This guy's a G.  lol

Anyone else confirming this? Surely this reporter wouldn't release a statement like that if it wernt true?

Lambert has just resigned as Norwich manager: confirmed

confirmed where?

I think he just wrote confirmed himself. 

Reporter for Sun who ran with this tweeting and seems pretty confident.  Other dodgier twitter sources echo this story.

Nail on the head.

appointing mcleish makes him look like a insane chairman

American ownership has never really caught on, imo.

For the money they've invested between them (Gillet, Hicks, Lerner, Short, FSG etc) they've had very little return.  I'd throw the Glazer's in, but I'm not sure they've ever really spent any of their own cash?

All successful businessmen - makes you wonder why they hoy money at a sport they know nothing about.

is this canaryboy, by any chance?

You can´t just say that Villa are not a big club because they finished below Norwich. Norwich are newly promoted, Villa are in forth position for the most trophies won by any english club, 1 of 22 teams that have won Europes most important trophy, are one of only a handful of teams that have done the double. This is big club history, goldfish brains are just looking at the 2011-2012 season. On that basis if Norwich finished in the top 4 I would assume they would start calling them a big club.

Well said Soup or Stew we had the same when Darren Bent left Sunderland for us .. people don't realise how big a club Villa are.

norwich are a waking midget

people just don't have a clue about football! They just look a current league standings in which case we will be 2nd when the season starts in alphabetical order........now we must be a big club!!

I'm a Norwich fan and I accept the writing is on the wall. It'd be difficult for him to come back now. I'm not sure if he wold have gone before the Norwich board refused him permission to speak to the Villa. Now, of course, I'm a Norwich fan so I'm going to want him to stay, and I'm going to say that he'd be crazy to go to the Villa which is a bigger club, granted, but not a happy one and not one that performs.

I did like the comment that the Villa have a 'sane' chairman! Remind me who appointed their biggest rival's boss their own? And remind me, how successful was it?

The only reason Villa have not been performing is because of the manager situation we've had the last 2 years, especially the year just gone.......before that we were playing great football and knocking on the door for a champions league place.........

......a new manager with fresh attacking ideas I'm sure will get us back to where we belong. Weather Paul Lambert will give us that is a different matter but i'll take him any day over the last idiot in charge!

Whether Lambert is bothered about the weather, is obviously what's at stake, here.

yes realised the spelling mistake thanks, predictive text is a killer!

solano,s spot on about the yanks and their cash injection. it starts off well, then they drip feed. businessmen, not football people. lamberts brought norwich a hell of a long way. if he goes he leaves the club in good shape

'back where we belong'? Where is that ffs?

I don't know, Maggot, his rain at Carrow Road may be ending....

that's the difference with the yanks.

unlike arabs and russians they come from a country where buying sports teams is common and virtually always done to make money, even  by the rich.

Yep, agree with that VEP.  Makes you wonder how they will get their return though.

- The Glazer's you assume will float Man U in the Far East.
- FSG will likely make some decent cash when they sell Liverpool, as they were able to buy it cheaply because of the mess G&H created.  When I say cheaply, I mean relative to what it would have been worth had it not been in a mess.
- As for Villa or Sunderland, who knows?  Villa's finances are in a shocking state and Sunderland's wage to turnover ratio isn't much better.

My point was, unless I am missing something surely these blokes can make a far better investment in an industry they understand ???

their thinking will be, "we understand sports investing, we've done it in america. this is a bit different, but let's factor that in and apply what we know."

FSG are essentially trying to replicate what they did at the red sox from what i see. rebuild the current stadium, look for undervalued talent to improve the team.

that second bit's where queen kenny put such a massive spoke in the works.

but their real problem, ironically, is other foreign owners. faced with oil money distorting the market and with none of the cost controls you get in american sports (salary caps and the draft) it's going to be very hard to make the financial success through sporting success model work. unsentimentally, they may decide that cost cutting and sporting mediocrity make for a better business model.

Some good points VEP.

Perhaps they were hopeful of FFP being a leveller - which I am becoming increasingly convinced that it wont be.

you're right. FFP is just a cynical exercise in pulling up the drawbridge.

ironically, it moves the european cash cow closer to being the closed franchise system the likes of FSG are used to.

Just announced by Villa, Lambert is their new manager.

Excellent appointment for Villa.  Hopefully he'll make it bearable to watch them next season.

Get ready for a major overhaul behind the scenes...Lambert will get shot of anyone who cannot get around the pitch for 90 mins, Norwich ran more yards than any other team last season - and played decent football...Villa players will have to meet German fitness levels to feature, and will probably be called in a couple of weeks early to get there...good appt for Villa...

It's offical! Lambert's on the pipe!
I had heard rumor's he had gone off the rails but nothing concrete as until now. Poor man's lost his marble's, neutral players managers and pundit's alike are in shock at his decision to go to a team like Villa.. Even in jock land....

Good appointment by Villa and this will please the Villa fans after nearly going down under the previous chump.

Feel sorry for Norwich fans as he had got an average side to play really well.

Saying all that he has a tough job at Villa as they are not blessed with great playing talent currently.

goldenboy not in a position to be deciding who's on the pipe after this shocker of a bet, imo.

great appointment
