Lambert's initial remit at Villa

...was to "conduct a massive overhaul of the playing squad, lower the overall wage structure of the playing staff and achieve this whilst keeping the club in the Barclays Premier League"
With that in mind, it makes it all the stranger that he left Norwich. He didn't even go there with any real chance of taking the club to the next level after McLeish, it seems.
