Cheers, not nice but the nature of football. Doesn't the Premier league have rules preventing poaching of managers during the season? Hopefully Colcjester will be compensated, in the meantime lets hope Lambert screws up at Norwich.
But unlike normal poaching of managers this has a ring of everything being agreed before contact was made, usually it is a quick would you be interested and not a full discussion.
A bit like clubs that sign Defoe or Arry, you can be surprised when he does the dirty on you. Lambert has walked out on a number of teams, so personally, I'd not hire him. If he does well he'll drop you like a hot potato.
job was offered first to Ray Lewington, first team coach at Fulham, on the basis that he had to resign first so Narwich could avoid compo. He refused. Lambert obviously has no morals.

Exactly. If Defoe has a storming season (looking likely) and Man Utd came in with £25m next summer, Defoe would be off like a shot.

as I said above, all pretty underhand by Delia's mob although she probably didn't know what was going on. Glad that Narwich have been hit hard and Colchester have got suitable recompense.

No but good on them. They asked for 400k, Norwich said no and now they have to pay 425k plus a 200k fine! I'm sure Norwich aren't too bothered though seeing as they won the league.

Thats the best £425k Norwich will ever spend, superb bit of business.

Not really, they are 20 million plus in debt so finding 425,000 for a manager is not ideal as far as they are concerned!!!
They will have to ask their bank manager very nicely for extra funds that they wanted to spend on new players.
Lambert, of course, will be off within 18 months anyway once a big club comes calling, probably Celtic.

tell me more... please.
Colchester not happy
