Lambert economical with the truth about Villa. He was happy enough to sign a new contract in the September and yet was delighted to be sacked 5 months later. We were delighted as well considering the abysmal run he had us on. 2 wins and 8 league goals in his last 21 games.

Paul reminds me of a younger Kenny Dalglish when he speaks
Great podcast! Would've loved to hear his opinion on David Raya who he had at Blackburn. And his opinion on Simeon Jackson who accelerated his managerial career. The banter with Brown was great!
Strange how the pinnacle of his managerial career was back to back promotions and keeping NCFC in the prem, yet he said he should have left us after promotion. He's been toilet everywhere he's been since, and he only got the villa job based on what he did with us. Find it odd

I may have missed it but he doesn't mention his brief stint as Blackburn Rovers manager .... he signed a 2 and a half year deal in November 2015, and then activated a release clause in his contract 6 months later, after keeping them up. It's one of a few instances of a Manager " sacking " a Club, rather than the other way round ....

Story of a Blackburn fans life. Get a promising ambitious manager Make promises like players for promotion. Don’t meet said promises at all. Part ways with ambitious manager. Appoint manager to keep us up. Repeat.
Great episode this one
Good point about the Premier League. You can be mid table in the championship and you have some sort of team spirit, as soon as you get promoted to the prem the team spirit just gets torn apart what with owners thinking they've got to buy top players and hammerings every week. The top tier shouldn't be like that, it's a closed shop nowadays, it's so dull.
Met him when I was a teenager at Celtic park in the VIP for a league cup game. I was just a teen, he was either being rested/injured. "Mr Lambert can I have an autograph please" "Mr Lambert?? Thats the first time I've heard that off a Celtic supporter" then he signed the autograph. Later on me and my cousin were walking by and hes on the phone (rare in those days) and I could hear him say "That Bobby Petta is pure dead f*cken brilliant by the way". Haha what a player he was hes still underrated to this day. That Celtic team were the best I've seen in my lifetime and he was such an integral part of it. Thanks for everything you done for Celtic Paul.

I wonder if the same guy sorted out Scott Booth's move from Aberdeen to Dortmund and ultimately on to Twente as well. Booth, arguably at the time was higher regarded than Lambert in Scotland.
Great few years at Norwich, had players punching way above their weight
Paul comes across like a manager you would want to play for 👍
He’s not being very honest in this interview. He signed a new contract at Villa and knew exactly what he was walking in to. Also he had the money to buy Kozak and Benteke but couldn’t sign Lukaku on loan? That sounds like BS.
1:33:48 oh Parky don't ever change 😂
Legend 👑💯
Best series yet. Phenomenal.
Not a word about his brief stint as Wolves manager either where the fans weren't really bothered by him going, the football was mostly dull and ineffective, bombed out players like Saiss who went on to become an integral part of Nunos team, used his contacts in the press to try and garner sympathy and support for him on his way out... A manager who dined out on the style of football his Norwich side played and who never ever replicated it anywhere else afterwards, certainly not at Wolves.

Bit disappointed that there was no discussion about his time at Wycombe... made semi finals of the league cup with a league 2 club
I think as a manager he should have been better than he was but no doubt as a player he was class.

True, but Lambert started in central midfield against Zidane and co, Greening was kicking his heels on the bench. I think Lambert even provided the cross for the first goal in the final.
Long gone are the days where villa managers are saying ‘thank fuck I was sacked’. No slight on Paul, other than his blindness in what was happening.

Didn’t you have David May on? He won it in 99
Ok so he was bored and disinterested in finishing mid-table with Norwich - and left to join Villa (in an earlier Interview he stated that Randy Lerner told him from day one that he would be under huge restrictions)..so his sole purpose at Villa was to avoid the drop. Then he says he views winning trophies as success but plays weakened teams constantly in cup competitions. He would not inspire me if I were a player. Mixed messages galore.
Couldn’t wait to get out of Villa but didn’t have the decency to resign, Paul Lambert thinks he’s doing clubs a favour just being there- went weeks on end at Ipswich mentioning Dortmund and Celtic in every press interview while he presided over the worst team in Ipswich Town’s history. Pathetic little man full of hot air, bullshit and bravado.

Liked him as a player & I remember anting dortmund to win the UCL but but of an arrogant man. Fancy saying he was glad about getting sacked from a job (and probably getting millions out of it) for doing a sh1t job (even if he got little financial backing - it didn’t stop him doing good jobs at Colchester & Norwich who had less backing). Sherwood came in & turned the club around & got the club to an FA cup final (even if they did go down the season after).
