Lambert has ambitions above simply Norwich survival

Norwich boss Paul Lambert has ambitions beyond mere Premier League survival. Norwich chairman Alan Bowkett is keen for the club not to get ahead of themselves and has suggested survival next season must remain the primary target.

"If I put targets on certain things the fans will come here and expect, and if we are not in the top half they will be calling for my head," said the 42-year-old Scot.

"So as long as we stay in the league that is the most important thing.

"The chairman has said if we finish 17th next season it will be an incredible achievement, but for me, I don't want to finish 17th.

"My own target is different, but I know what the club are meaning by that.

"I have my own targets and I want to finish as high up the league as I can."
