Time to take some leave from this message board for a while. It’s a brilliant platform in so many ways and there are plenty of posters on here who I feel I genuinely connect with. Sadly there are an increasing number who I simply don’t get. I find it frustrating, depressing and genuinely hard work reading a lot of stuff on here. For my own sanity I’m calling it a day. I’m sure I’ll get pulled back in the future but right now I need a break. I don’t expect, nor want, anybody to give a shit. I guess I just wanted to explain the reason for my deletion. Cheers. Vis unita fortior. The board need to wake up. They're resting on the past and people are letting them. It's what has got us into this and they and the board need to wake up.

We wanted a change, here it is. Could have been worse....I guess things didn't go to plan and this is plan c. Last chance for our players and a chance fur the young manager to prove himself.

Interesting to see John Coates quoted today. Is this the start of the handing over?

Seriously, he needs to step down. Completly lost it with his loyality to Hughes and completley lost it with a non-inspirational appointment of a stupid sweaty sock.

The issue for me Cheees is that he should be Chairman in name only and shouldn't be involved at this level. Let his son take over and let Coates senior take a back seat with our thanks. Do you know for certain who took the lead role in this process? No I don't I surmising but he was quoted with the following: But Stoke chairman Peter Coates believes that in Lambert he has the right man for the job. "Paul greatly impressed us with his knowledge of our squad and had a clear plan of how he would improve our results," he said. "He's a man who backed himself as a player, none more so than when he turned down contract offers in Scotland to go on trial in the German Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, and it's obvious he adopts the same approach as a manager." Suggests that he was involved if not the lead

Whilst the Coates Family are certainly best for stoke the current set up needs to go. Cartwright, Scholes and Peter Coates MUST step down. I'll give Mr Lambert my patience and support but can we rely on Uncle Peter to give him the funds he needs to improve the squad? Can we expect Cartwright to find the players he needs? Can we expect Scholes to successfully negotiate the contracts of the players we need? I think we know the answer to those questions. With our stadium called the Bet 365 and Bet 365 on our shirts I can't believe that someone hasn't stepped in already to resolve this amateurish debacle. End of season needs a massive clear out at board/executive level.

The club has been rotten for a while now, this debacle is the tip of the iceberg. They need to change their mentality and ditch the arrogance they've shown. Because it's lead us to this and the past means fuck all at this present time.

For me it's not Coates Snr, the guy is 80 he's been done over by the feckless imbeciles under him that he trusted, however they have become fat, lazy and incompetent and not kept pace with the growing Premier League. He needs to let Coates Jnr take full control and he needs to rid out the so called senior 'execs' and bring in a proven Director of Football even if they are from a lower league club plus get a new CEO to only run the commercial aspects of the club and not the football side.

What I find more frustrating than anything is how they still, still after 10 years see this club as plucky, little old Stoke. With no desire to be progressive, to achieve things. This mentality comes from somewhere.

Suggests that he was involved if not the lead A press release doesn't really answer that question though. I just think your post was picking fault with who drove this process, when you don't really know the details. Maybe Peter did take more of a back seat, like you asked for? I don't want to get into an argument about it, because we don't know. Just another example of making something up and then getting narky about it. He does sound quite impressive in that soundbite though. We'll see... if there's a view between all the 'OUT' banners.

Nobody has seen him perform as Stoke manager yet. Is his record really all failure? Must admit I havn't done my due diligence yet, but a quick scan on here shows it's far from all bad and his Wolves team showed little respect for us, bloodied our nose. Norwich? Dour or pragmatic? suppose with Chico F it was called pragmatic. Whatever, in our position we've got to expect a bit of grind before flair for the moment. Earn the right to play etc. 80th birthday mate. No i'm very much hoping he does well. As far as I'm aware he does well for a bit and then struggles. Which is fine for us i suppose for now, but i want us to show some long term planning. Thats what QSF showed. His Wolves team were up against a half arsed side with no defensive midfielders. And we were very unlucky not to equalise and get back in. Easy to get your side revved up for a cup tie at premier league opposition. Dour. QSF plays to the squad he has, Lambert has always played poor football. We might for now, but we've been trying that for 18 months and it hasn't worked. He owns a premier league football club, I think appointing the manager mid season is the least work i'd expect him to do. We'll see. Or should I say I'm prepared to see what pans out. While you may wish that he does well pretty much looks like you've already set yer stall out. You proposing we flair football our way out of the bottom three? Maybe get Bojan back, or was he part of our half arsedness vs Wolves? {soz couldn't resist.}

Is this the same Coates family that has just given you ten years of Prem football? Some of you need to take a long hard look at yourselves. You're as bad as fucking Arsenal 'supporters! If Lambert is appointed, at least give the bloke a fucking chance! OS. spot on I also think that clearly Coates is a good guy to work for, rightly or wrongly he gave Hughes time and funds. There is no doubt the club is head and shoulders better than when the Icelanders had it. Whatever happened I refuse to blame Peter Coates

He couldn't see the wood for the trees with Hughes and it has lead to this. It's entirely his fault.

It is also worth noting that only John Coates & Tony Scholes were quoted in the Lambert press release. No Peter in sight. Not true based on what's on the official website: Peter Coates said: “Paul greatly impressed us with his knowledge of our squad and had a clear plan of how he would improve our results. “He’s a man who backed himself as a player, none more so than when he turned down contract offers in Scotland to go on trial in the German Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, and it’s obvious he adopts the same approach as a manager.”

At best he was 4th choice behind Rowett -- remember we think he turned us down -- Flores -- He definitely turned us down -- MON -- He certainly turned us away
Forced into naming a manager before we get twatted by the shit .... OMG --- The powers to be must think we are all smoking the same shit
You can go through every one of my posts and know that I am an half glass full man and try to be constructive with my comments ... However my parents did not raise an idiot and these cocks have taken us all for mugs

Not flair football, but I'm proposing that we are where we are because we've been afraid to try and win games. Palace and Brighton being the worst examples. I'd have him back in a heartbeat. The half-arsedness was from all 11 players, but mostly Hughes' idiocy.
