No comments just the clubs statement, confirming what we all feared.   The Club regrets to confirm that Paul Lambert has offered his resignation from his position as Norwich City Manager. We have fought hard to keep Paul at Norwich City and have not accepted his resignation whilst discussions with another club are taking place. Howev [...]

With the silence deafening from either Club, City and Villa, it really stands to reason something is still going on, it is perhaps not as clear cut as first reported hours ago by The Sun and others. But now the heat is starting go a little colder on fans views and opinions it is a good time to realise that life will go in the crazy world of foo [...]

Michael Bailey just tweeted, reports on SSN.  believed that  negoiations are still going on and that Lambert is still City manager but wants to talk with Villa.    

A report in the Birmingham Mail suggests Paul Lambert's representative were sounded out last week about the vacant job at Villa Park. "Soundings had already been made with Lambert’s representatives last week but now the Villa heirachy are preparing to approach their top-flight rivals for permission to speak to their boss." [...]

As you would expect the news feeds are rife with differing reports all saying much the same but a few others claim to know a little more.   Sky Sports claim that :  Lambert's reprsentatives to to meet Villa today and  the biggest claim yet that "they know" that Lambert had a row with the board last night. &nb [...]

Reports in The Sun this morning that Paul Lambert has walked out on City over the Villa job, have yet to be confirmed or denied.  This comes after the internet news feeds were swamped with news Villa were going to seek permission to talk to Lambert over the managers job at Villa Park.  The Sun claims Lambert walked out once it became [...]

No sooner had we written we expected Martinez to become the next Villa manager, we then find out that Wigan chairman has stated that he will be staying put Latics chairman Dave Whelan  told Sky Sports that Martinez will continue at the DW Stadium and there will be no adjustments to his current contract. Martinez met with Liverpool owners [...]

It looks very likely that Brendan Rodgers will be confirmed as next manager of Liverpool in the next 24 hours. The Northern Irishman emerged as favourite for the job after talks with Wigan boss Roberto Martinez broke down. Rodgers, 39, is yet to make any official statement or reaction, whilst Swansea are thought to be receiving around £ [...]

Things could well be changing at Elland Road which could hinder City's bid for Robert Snodgrass, that is if Paul Lambert has tabled a bid. Ken Bates is involved in talks with two interested parties over a potential takeover, with one firm bid on the table at present. Leeds United Supporters' Trust have led the fans' 'Campaign [...]

According to a Leeds Utd site,  City today  have lodged a bid  of £1.5 million  for Robert Snodgrass,   just whether Paul Lambert can get the player for this price is doubtful, but it will alert other interested clubs  starting  a bidding war. I would not be surprised if Ken Bates isn't behind a [...]

What on earth is going on in  Trapattoni's mind,  Keith Fahey has been ruled out of Euro 2012 with injury and replaced in the Republic of Ireland squad by a player who has no club and only heavens knows when he last played a decent competitive match. Former Derby midfielder  Paul Green has been drafted in as repalcement. Whil [...]

Scans have shown that John Ruddy has sustained a broken finger in training yesterday  and he will now not be fit for the trip to Poland and Ukraine. Ruddy will travel to Oslo to watch Saturday's friendly with Norway before returning home to England. It means Birmingham goalkeeper and England Under 21 international Jack Butland has be [...]

We posted earlier in the month that Paul Lambert was said to be interested in French defender Thomas Heurtaucx, playing for Caen in Ligue 1.    http://www.carrowroad.net/cnews/index.php?post=french-defender-linked If he indeed was one of those on Lambert's list, the City boss looks set to miss out as the player is on the ve [...]

Joey Barton, the man just cannot stay out of trouble,  he was banned 4 games for being sent off in the final game of the season at Manchester City,  following two other incidents as he was leaving the field he has received another 8 game ban; making a total of 12. Barton was sent off for elbowing Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez a [...]

You just have to keep wondering about some aspects of the national media, The Mail online being the latest to perhaps step over the lines of truth into that deep grey area. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2148378/Norwich-offer-Grant-Holt-huge-pay-rise-fend-Sunderland-Aston-Villa.html   I can certainly see what makes P [...]

I think there is a message here for the management set up's at Villa, Liverpool and evey other club who fancy coming in for Paul Lambert.  Along with the national media, it's time to put your wodden spoons away. Paul Lambert quote   "I never once said I'm leaving or anything. I've said I never know what's [...]

We have absolutely no idea whether the following is true or even holds any water. but  according to  @Fourth Official on Twitter Norwich have made an official approach for one time loanee Liverpool's Dani Pacheco. The player is supposed to be on show tomorrow evening at Adam Drury's testimonial against Celtic.  Just how t [...]

It is good to see that Grant Holt is to have a meeting with CEO David McNally this afternoon, sadly his agent has to be involved. The agent  Lee Payne, said on Radio Norfolk,  that his players shock transfer request was not prompted by a row over wages.  He went on to say:  other issues had arisen “in the past couple [...]

We now leave the Grant Holt scenario and move to boss Paul Lambert, according to a reporter for the Daily Star, Aston Villa are to hold talks with Lambert on monday for thier vacant manager chair. I do find this a little strange, as they have to ask permission to talk with Lambert, there has been no such indication that an approach has been mad [...]

David McNally has spoken over Grant Holt's Transfer request, using his Twitter account Mr McNally issued the following: Using his twitter account @davidmcnally62, the chief executive said: “We did receive a transfer request from Grant Holt yesterday. It was rejected immediately. “At your club, we deal with the out of contrac [...]

Whatever the reasons are behind Holty's transfer request is, we may never know the only thing that resembles any details on this shocker is that Simon Thomas has tweeted ;  that there is no other club involved. So whatever happens Grant Holt has been massive for this club and in turn for us the supporters, he was a City legend  th [...]

Wigan have given Liverpool permission to speak with boss Roberto Martinez about the managerial post at Anfield, Latics owner Dave Whelan has confirmed. I gave Liverpool permission and he will be talking to them soon," Whelan said "I have always said when a big club comes, I will give permission and they don't come any bigger tha [...]

The revolving Door doesn't take long to start spinning, with the news that Zak Whitbread won't be pulling on the Yellow shirt any more, we hear rumours that City are being linked with another central defender. We are being linked with a cut-price move for unsettled Wolves defender Roger Johnson. The 29-year-old has endured a torrid year [...]

We can say good bye to Zak Whitbread and Aaron Wilbraham as they will not be offered new deals by Norwich City when their contracts run out this summer.   A little surprised by Whitbread's impending departure,  I have Elliot Ward high on my list to be leaving,  and surprised  why his name is not here. Joining Whitbr [...]

Despite being the best value striker in English football this season, Grant Holt has not made  Roy Hodgson's    England squad.  While Congratulations must go to John Ruddy for being selected. Yet a player who has been in simple terms a £35 million flop who only came good in the last few games of the season get [...]

According to Talksport  we are leading the race to sign French defender Thomas Heurtaux. Heurtaux, 23, has been one of the star performers for Caen in France this season and is ready for a new challenge in the Premier League. Also  West Brom are said to be looking to bolster their defence and have been linked with a move for the tal [...]

Jarrolder  a member on our forum writes here for the first time.   I feel I must write this before maybe its too late. I guessl I'm only putting into words how a lot of City supporters must feel. We dont know whats going on but some of us fear the worst.  as we've seen it all before.   Why you should resist ove [...]

Giovanni Trapattoni claims he left Norwich's Wes Hoolahan out of his Republic of Ireland squad because he does not fit into his plans.   The Italian tactician announced his 23-man squad and stand-by list for the Euro 2012 finals, which get underway in Poland and Ukraine next month, and Hoolahan was absent along with his Canaries team [...]

Whle we mentioned about Wes Hoolahan being overlooked by Giovanni Trappattoni, another City player should have been considered for inclusion along with Wes, Anthony Pilkington's  name was not  on the short-sighted Italian's list, either Pilkington has been nothing but a success since joing from Huddersfield during the summer, [...]

It is starting to look like Wes Hoolahan has been passed over YET again  by Giovanni Trappattoni, as the short sighted  Italian  today announced his squad for the forthcoming European Championships held in Poland & Ukraine, despite the final squad lists not having to be named for another two weeks. So despite having an outsta [...]

There sometimes seems there is always something to mar a fine City performance, yesterday's excellent game at Arsenal is the latest to have something said to cast a shadow on City's efforts.  Despite the usual whinging and whining from Wenger about not being given penalties,  surely Paul Lambert has an equally good argument. I [...]
