The clubs are in dispute over compensation for Lambert, who left the U's to join the Canaries earlier this season.[LNB]Norwich chairman Alan Bowkett told Wednesday's AGM that the club had made a lawful approach for Lambert and that Cowling was demanding a compensation figure which "bordered on the ridiculous".[LNB]A Football League disciplinary tribunal is due to meet in March to pass judgment on the case but Cowling told the East Anglia Daily Times: "It surprises me that they are still saying they made a lawful approach because in the latest correspondence between our solicitors they have admitted a breach of the rules.[LNB]"I don't want to comment on the compensation figures being discussed, but needless to say I disagree that they have been over-generous.[LNB]"We'll just have to wait and see what the tribunal comes up with. A set of dates are close to being agreed and we should be able to sit down at some time in March."[LNB][LNB]
