Strange that, I was almost relieved when he went because

he never showed much respect for the club. Once he'd made a name for himself he just wanted the biggest pay day that would come his way and his contempt for the club at the end when he went to Villa was appalling. I can't feel sorry for 1p5wich because..... well they're 1p5wich but Lambert has done a similar job on them. He pulled the wool over their eyes (I still think the 'rumpus' at Carrow Road was premeditated to show just how much Paul was committed to them and how much he hated us) and they swallowed hook, line and sinker. Seems like he threatened to leave 1p5wich and effectively forced Evans into giving him a five year contract and now to get rid of him they'll have to pay him a big chunk to get rid.
No, missed Paul like a boil on the arse and DF is, without doubt, my favourite City manager. Style of play, way he believes in building a club abd using young players, way he conducts himself and the respect he demands from all his players toward the Club. He's everything PL isn't.
