Why the fook do Stoke fans have to start slagging off previous managers all the time. Let's not start this shit all over again. Sparky has gone after doing a great job for the majority of his tenure. It was time to go. Same as TP.
Lambo's here. He's got some big shoes to fill .... Hopefully he can at least get all us Stokies to sing from the same hymn sheet.

Hughes had to go but his record for Stoke overall was very good - and his Premiership record to date is miles better than Lambert's.
Having said that we looked more organised and up for it than we have for a long time - great start and play like that and we'll be fine.
The king is dead, long live the king.

It'd be great if we could put all our efforts into supporting the current manager rather than slating previous ones

He should have been replaced last summer. Yes the only manager who hasn't declined after a few years was Ferguson. Teams need to change every few years no criticism of the managers it just gets stale after a while. Just look at Arsenal

Just look at Arsenal I agree and from a manager's perspective, it's got to be difficult to motivate the same group of players every single week for 4-5 years.

My alarm bells went off after the third season at 9th place, that was the season that Leicester City won the league, Stoke lost/drew in several games to lower finishing teams that should have been won, Stoke should have finished higher in that unique season and when questioned about this, Hughes pointed to the 3rd consecutive 9th place finish. He was pointing to mediocrity......and it has been downhill since then. He had his run, now it's PL for the PL.

You can't live on past glories though Lambert has won one game and has a long way to go before he produces anything to rival the best stuff that Sparky produced but he'd clearly lost the plot and it had been very bad for a considerable period it was no minor blip. He's won one game that was nothing outstanding in itself but he allowed a team that's been frightened of its own shadow to play in a more confident manner. It was a good win and I enjoyed it but it wasn't rocket science it never needed to be, Hughes had just tied himself into knots with no apparent reason.

TBF he was already well on his way to losing the plot by then his selections had already become nonsensical and his tactics scared.

Several winnable games coming up. This is the time to gorge as best you can, fatten up a bit on points and don't worry about the calories. Stoke has some great talent, they need to brutalize lesser teams.

Hughes got himself the sack. He assembled a team that can play just didn’t let them do it. Shame really

In fact personally I felt he should've left in the summer but that doesn't change my opinion of the terrific job he did in his first 3 seasons. All I was suggesting from my previous comment is that it's nonsensical to compare Lambert's reign to Hughes' after just one game. But with that being said, I'm fully behind the new manager and I do think he can be successful at this club if he plays his cards right and doesn't make the same stupid mistakes that Hughes and Pulis made towards the end of their tenures.

No doubt he will the board need to be alert to that and make a change to bring a fresh approach at that time. They virtually all end up being held hostage by their own mistakes. They shouldn't get so attached.

It's pretty obvious that in modern football there is a natural shelf life of managers. Three years seems to be the benchmark. If Lambo is still here (in three years) and we are still in the Prem then he's done a good job.
