One thing i will say though, at least he wants to be here and he's done his homework
Paying a Spaniard an extortionate amount of money to do something he doesn't want to do might not have been the wisest decision

Yes. We've turned down this supposed application from abroad due to no PL experience and people lap it up. Those very same people, however, are seemingly happy to accept that Rowett is one of 3 managers to turn us down despite he himself never having premier league experience. Our new manager will not be Paul Lambert. Oops. You were saying? 😠Brilliant isn't It? Only at stoke could we start with a really ambitious target, move on to an exciting target, get rejected by MON and end up with Paul Lambert. I'm going to let my boys pick their own team to support.

Now that he's been appointed the only thing we can do is get behind the team and hope that we manage to sign some decent players whilst this window is still open. Get behind him and you’ve been hoodwinked by the club , that’s exactly what those responsible are preying for they shrink back into the shadows , suits and expenses and lifestyle and salary intact for 2-5 more years of incomptence while some other poor fucker takes the abuse . NomChance from me the last 48 hours have forced there incompetence with no patsy to blame out into the open and they need to chased and Harried out of our fantastic club I've not been hoodwinked by anyone but protests and such will do nothing to help the club right now, we're not down yet and there are some terrible teams that we can finish above, even with Paul Lambert in charge.

5 year strategic plan with huge funds to Paul Lambert and no funds in 48 hours , the poor bugger , hope he is getting paid handsomely to take the shit for scholes and co . no compensation as we all know would be the case in the end , a manger Unemployable In the premier league who failed at wolves and villa , and Blackburn whose benefits are 1 will work I dear any conditionality 2 is very cheap let A monsoon of toxicity rain down on those responsible v Huddersfield This is no time for unity it’s for an unprecedented display of contempt for those who have ruined our club That just shows you up for what you really are. The atmosphere needs to be right on against Huddersfield in which is a must win game. Nobody agrees with this move but poor atmosphere will see us down and anyone encouraging it is no Stoke fan. Poor atmosphere won’t see us down , the incomptence and arrogance of the ceo and his sidekick are what have sent us down , jumping up and down shouting will make zero dpffrecme to the shower of shit they have assembled . its your perogative but your playing their game , as they slink back into the shadows grinning at your naivety , how easy to con you’ve been As for being no stoke fan rest assured I’m no more or better a fan than you , but I do know , arrogance , incompetence and complacency when I see it and won’t accept it because the face in the shop window changed .

Nailed on relegation. This is utter lunacy. What are the club doing. None of this lets all get behind the club and get behind him shit nobody beleives that shit this time.The club was divided before now it will be in segments. The club will see the fruits of thier incompetance when it comes to season ticket sales. Anger does not come close to how most will be feeling. Coated must step down his judgement is completly gone.

At least Mark Hughes could attract players (even if he didn't know what to do with them) who the actual fuck is Lambert going to attract in the state we're in? Exactly. The panic that the board had created amongst the fans and around the club have suddenly made us a club decent players will avoid like the plague. And Coates is definitely not going to spend the £££.

This is an absolute dogshit appointment. Arnautovic was right when he said we haven’t got any ambition. I’m not at all ITK but I heard that O’Neill interview was terrible and he had no idea about the players or what he was going to do etc to turn us around so Stoke walked away from him. Also heard that the breaking point with the QSF deal was he wanted £22M if we were relegated and we got rid of him. Like I say, I’m not itk it’s only what I’ve heard

The proof of how much the board wanted him, will be how many signings we allow him in the next 2 weeks. If he gets none, we are basically clamouring to be relegated as the Coates family is no longer prepared to bankroll the club. Which is absolutely fine, but a little honesty and openness would go a long way.

Oh, I hope he does. It's just the most suicidal appointment I've witnessed in years, that's all. Good luck to him. It's worse than suicidal. But lets at least see him in action at Stoke first before we all leap to our deaths of the nearest tall building.

Sorry. Lambert out. Hughes Back The trouble is though mate as sick as I feel now that way certain relegation lies. By all means vent your spleen on here and at the end of the season if it has all gone tits up but we now need to get behind the team if not the manager more than ever to help them if we wnat to stand any chance of getting out of this shit weve gotourselves into. Chants of Lambert out won't do that as much as we might want to. Lambert an irrelevance personally , poor bloke just been paid to take a hail storm of shit as the next 17 games unfold and is desperate enough to take it , Poor fucker probably thinks he’s got a transfer budget to The toxicity needs to focus on scholes and Cartwright they are the architects of this collapse and ther should be no hiding place .

I`m as disappointed as most but we`ve got to give Lambert a chance. 2 or 3 inspired signings before the end of the month and we could be a totally different team. Those who are suggesting a protest against the board really need to have a re-think - we are stuck with him folks get used to it !

Now I'm really deflated as previously said but if that tweet is true then that perks me up a bit. The germans are clearly ahead of the game in terms of training methods etc so spending his time there could only be a good thing. This was mentioned on Skysports earlier that he snubbed Scotland to go out to Germany etc

Fine, go to Clayton Wood and do your protest there. Help the lads on the pitch, and at the end of the season walk away from the club until the hierarchy is changed. That's the choice.

I’d have preferred they kept Hughes and given him some money to spend in the window, no point in firing Hughes and replacing him with lambert, this is a bizarre appointment.

Right... 1) First of all, who do we invoice at the club to get our stakes back on the money spunked against the wall on QSF?2) Paul Lambert may be underwhelming, but no one gave Moyes a chance at West Ham, and he is doing just fine! At least Lambert wanted the job! Good luck to him, maybe we'll see a glimpse of N'Goy, Shenton, maybe even Campbell? 3) I don't think we can blame the club for QSF turning us down. We all wanted Hughes sacked, they (eventually) sacked him. We all wanted the club to be brave and go for a good target, they did in QSF. He accepted, then changed his mind. The fact he initially accepted tells me the club were not unfounded in their opinion that he would come to Stoke. Nothing they can do about a man changing his mind. And no one can say a 5 year deal, money to spend and a handsome salary were not enough to offer. 4) After our shitty knickers being dragged through the press this last week, no surprise MON turned us down. I think club has been unlucky since Hughes went, a lot has happened outside of their control. Let's get behind Lambert, get behind the team and let's get ourselves up that bloody table. It starts tonight with Eddie and Rooster's barmy army! COYP! I'm not sure you've fully grasped how gambling works, mate I fully agree with your last sentence though. We need 16 performances between now and May. Really? Bullshit, Coates owes me £15! haha. Bollocks, I'm getting an Easyjet to Barcelona, QSF can give me 20 Euros! So many defeatists on here. I actually think just the fact that Hughes is gone will give the squad a lift, never mind who comes in. Change of training, new chance for squad players to get into the team, new ideas, maybe a player under 35 will get a game! Maybe Saido will score a goal.... OK, I just heard that last one in my head. Never mind. Lambert has an excellent playing pedigree, like Hughes. Not sure what clout he has now with players, but there are loads of "Championship" players come up with teams and rip it up! Not everyone has to have 100 top flight games under their belt to be a success.
