Lambert leaving time with Norwich in the past as he focuses on future with Ipswich
[Asif Burhan]

New Ipswich Town manager Paul Lambert was introduced to the Suffolk press at Playford Road today determined to deflect any questions about his previous role at local rivals Norwich City. 

“I don’t want to go back to the Norwich time, it was seven years ago. I had three fantastic years there. I’m only focused on Ipswich now to try and get this football club away from the bottom of the table. 

“I’m sure that if we win games, it doesn’t matter who’s there, they’ll get right behind the football club.”
