Paul Lambert`s employers at Norwich City have been so unsettled by speculation suggesting their mercurial manager could leave for Burnley that they have issued a statement.
The former Celtic player has gained a repletion for resigning from coaching jobs, quitting first with Wycombe and then sensationally this season at Colchester.
Following Owen Coyle`s move to Bolton, the Scot has now been linked with that vacancy.
Although the Norwich board say no approach from the Premiership side has come, Lambert is clearly very ambitious and has caught the eye in East Anglia, winning over sixty-perent of matches since he took charge.
The statement from director Michael Foulger, however, denies the possibility of Lambert moving on again this season. He told City’s official site: “We have had no approach for Paul. I’m really impressed by his commitment to Norwich City and the way he goes about his business and I want him to be the manager to take this club forward.“
Were Lambert to accept an approach from the club as willingly as he left Colchester last autumn, it would ironically leave City without a manager for the upcoming local derby fixture on January 16.
His stay at the Weston Homes lasted just 312 days, after which he was appointed by Colchester’s regional rivals on a rolling contract.

VITAL COLCHESTER; YOUR VOICE, YOUR CHOICE!
VITAL COLCHESTER IS 100% UNOFFICIAL – FOR THE FANS, BY THE FANS!
lol – I am certainly enjoying it…!!!
He’s come out today saying “I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here”, as he ‘loves’ it at Norwich.
I thought that his comment “Colchester I left because I was told I could come and speak to Norwich.” was quite interesting
So did Coyle days before he left, we will see….
Always figured he’d do exactly the same to us that he did to you, though I’m not convinced it’s Burnley he’ll go to. Still, it’d be dead fun if come the 16th, both sets of fans are singing against him together!
And to OJJ – six-fingured? With the greatest respect, if you’re gonna be so lazy as to make the same old in-breeding joke instead of coming up with something a bit wittier, at least spell it right 😉
Haha, banter! I doubt PL is going to Burnley – he’s just said he isn’t! He didn’t do that with us last time around.
..think there’s still a chance, but if he doesn’t I look forward to giving hi some abuse on the 16th and expect you to do the same Matt!? 😛
