Why did lambert leaving norwich

He oversaw relegation from the Championship and a failed attempt to get the club back to the second-tier at the first time of asking. Former City player Paul Cook is the current favourite to replace Lambert, but won't be in the dugout for their trip to Accrington Stanley in midweek. Ex-Canaries player and coach Matt Gill has been placed in temporary charge. Lambert's sacking arrives just over a year after he signed a fresh five-year deal at Portman Road. The Scot, a City hall of famer for his hugely successful spell at Carrow Road between and , was appointed Town boss in I would like to wish both Paul and Stuart the best in the future.

Norwich City fans can not be sure if Paul Lambert will still be their manager next season. I would stress that this slideshow is not designed to suggest that Lambert is leaving.

It is purely to determine who the fans would want to replace him, if he were to leave. It can also open up a wider discussion on the sort of managers that would be interested in the Norwich City gig.

Now that Norwich City are in the Premier League, the pool may well be greater than some would imagine. Ian Holloway is certainly a likable character and many people were impressed with the way he took his Blackpool team to attack in the Premier League. However, he was unsuccessful and Blackpool were relegated. So, has he learned any lessons? Due to this question, his appointment would be a significant risk.

But he would likely get more money to spend on transfers and wages at Norwich that could make all the difference. I know a number of people were shocked when Lee Clark was sacked from his job at Huddersfield Town , especially given that they were well positioned in the league and had been on a long unbeaten run.

Again, though, this would be a risk because there is a world of difference between managing in League One and the Premier League. However, the Canaries have recruited a number of players from League One and the Championship that have proved to be up to the job in the Premier League.

So why can't the same be true of lower-league managers? Roberto Martinez may well become the new manager of Liverpool , but it appears that they could easily appoint someone else.

Lambert and Norwich were suing each other for breach of contract. The issue was due to go before a Premier League tribunal next month but has now been resolved. Aston Villa have agreed to pay Norwich a settlement and Norwich have agreed to pay Lambert a bonus for the season. Lambert, 43, left Carrow Road in the summer after three years in which he had led Norwich to successive promotions and 12th place in the Premier League.
