Why? If we are discussing hypothetical situations, why can't we assume that Lambert wants to stay inside St Marys stadium until he dies?
And FWIW, upwards of £4million.
Oh, and making the assumption that he wants to go - when by every single account from the player, the manager and fans who have spoken to him says otherwise - looks a tad pessimistic. As in, it looks like you prefer to talk about the negative possibilities rather than the positive ones.
