Paul Lambert confirmed as new manager (reply #544)

[charleeco7]

Where is Lerner's house?

Not far from Bodymoor I think - near Kingsbury Water Park

Either Tamworth or Telford out in the sticks, can't remember which one. I know someone that works there who comes into my work. If he comes back he pays all the staff to go home because he hates having people around

It's in Hurley I believe and is owned by the club apparently.

OK I will ring him first before I go around and ask  for postcode!

Fingers crossed that this goes through. From what I've read Lambert is a thinker, a motivator, is determined, takes no shit, is open-minded about the game, and has a long-standing winning habit. Let's hope it continues.

No Twitter gossip to report?

Apologies if posted before, but this is interesting from a Norwich point of view:

Stanley Victor is going to Kiev to attempt an ironic reversal of Bruce Willis's role in the Die Hard  film where he has to stand in Harlem with an "I hate niggas" sign.

Apparently it's done Just waiting for official statement

[danlanza]

Is that official?

[VillaAlways]

Is that official?

Not official but a very good source has just tweeted it

@proudvillan: I have just been told that Paul Lambert is now our manager!!

Just waiting for official statement!

Paul Lambert's Claret & Blue Army!!

They're normally pretty reliable

[danlanza]

Excellent news if it is right.

Ssn saying Norwich are searching for new manager as talks with villa over compensation continue.

[Summers]

SSN are always behind.

You know how this works. It always seems a lot longer than it is because we endlessly refresh every page of every site we visit in hope that the next time will be the time where everything is official. The dotting of i's and the crossing of t's always takes time, and not only that, Villa don't announce anything until the ink is completely dry. Think of all of the times when a transfer is announced on the OS in the evening, yet the pictures of the player, stretching the shirt next to the goal are in broad daylight. This deal is as sure as it comes, and it will only take an asteroid crashing into the earth type scenario for it to collapse now. It would be nice to see the official announcement today so the weekend is a lot more relaxing.

SSN are always behind.

It could be me that's behind.  I'm extremely busy at the moment and only turned on SSN for a quick look.

Great to see some common sense written about this, from such an unlikely source as Norwich's local media, and also some deserved respect for our club.

Talkshite can go and get fucked.
