dinnae-punt-it Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I heard today from someone who deals with a member of the board, that Craig Broon is off at the end of the season........aparently he is off to Norwich with Lambert going to Celtic. It is only a rumour, but it originates from high up inside the club, and I trust the source it came from. Shoot me down if you want, but I want him to stay, so really hope it is a load of pish!

rambunctious Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 lambert has already said he doesn't want the celtic job and what makes you think brown would take the norwich job and why would they want him? Lambert will stay at Norwich as they adore him and they will be in the championship next season. as you hoped, its a load of pish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkySuperSub Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Cannae find it now, but there was a recent BBC article where Lambert was quoted as saying he had no intention of coming back to Scottish football in the near future talking about the goldfish bowl mentality, lack of competition etc etc. Think he's happy at Norwich for now, he's certainly taking them in the right direction.

Geedub Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 This has all the hallmarks of a blatent lie. If Craigie Broon leaves it will be for retirement. I love how these "rumours" always originate from high up in the club. Where else would the originate from, the tea lady? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinnae-punt-it Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I know Lambert said that as I read the article myself. The Norwich bit I can't believe myself, but apparently the club thought Broon only wanted £800 a week, but instead wanted £800k a year. It sounds crazy.........but it came from one of the board members! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your gonny give out clues as to who it is then why not say who it is in your first post to give your post a wee bit of extra credit otherwise you'll get the same reaction you got here - either that or give us a big game of hangman till we correctly guess who it is.

gullane Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Let's not shoot the messenger. He's only passing on what he heard. Even if what he heard sounds a load o bollocks. I think Bill Dickie is in his 80s now anyway. Apologies to all OAPs but just how in touch is he with reality? Nice story though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Just telling what I heard...... I think you must have tatties in your ears..... I can see the conversation now.......I want £800k a year to manage Motherwell.....no problem Craig we will give you the £800 a week you are asking for Craig Brown would KNOW Motherwell could never afford £800k PA, so that much is bollox. He may well leave Motherwell, but I suspect as do most that he will (hopefully) stay for a couple more seasons as a swansong before retiring for good. Why at nearly 70 would he want to head back down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunderwell Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 If it is Bill Dickie, out of sheer interest, what is the fans opinion of him? I had a run in with him once. Without running into particular detail I was angry at a club usual ticketing f$£K up. He treated me with utter distain and thought it was disgraceful customer service as a fan. Sorry slightly off topic of this rubbish rumour :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was with the team to Bucharest and he swanned about like the owner. Twat in my opinion but I would be interested on why I should change my opinion. Have never met the man, but to be honest, in any company, the chairman and the board are rarely the best people to be letting near the paying punters, especially ones with gripes. They're usually successful business folks who Haven't Got To Where They Are Today by worrying too much about touchy-feely customer service skills.
