"footballs not that simple"
Is that more patronising shite from Coates? Well. I. Never.

"It's not Paul's fault we haven't got striker". No Pete, it's the other bloke's. Must mean Berahino is finished here too given he's totally called him out as a failure. Question is, how do we get rid?

If Coates genuinely thinks that having a go at signing a man who's knees are made of jelly and another who was never going to leave is a good enough effort to sign a striker then we're fucked.
I'm absolutely livid.

All I say is he needs a good start next season then That's the thing isn't it? If we lose our next three games then Lambert's position is surely completely untenable. Regardless of whether Coates does believe he is the right man for the job, he simply can't ignore the possibility that Lambert could have a bad start next season and if that was to happen he would have ZERO credit in the bank with the supporters and things could get very ugly, very early on. What would Coates do then? The money would have been spent, the squad assembled by a different manager and he would have to bring in somebody else in to work with somebody else's players. It's like he hasn't even witnessed what's just happened here at all.

So us trying to sign a striker was actually one call to Liverpool after one of their crocks and errr another one of their crocks, great, I'm not sure how they think thats some sort of defence.

Anyone else just sick of the blubbering old fool lately?
They're too stubborn, too pig headed to even consider their approach is a load of old bollocks.

Definition of insanity: if failing to sack a hopelessly out of his depth manager doesn't bring you the result you want, keep failing to sack him and hope for different results next time.

Even as bad as we've been this season, any half decent manager should be able to get this team in the top half of the championship. I think we'll keep 7 or 8 of our starting 11. The players have had a terrible season, but they're not all terrible players.

The article itself is astonishing.
The stuff about Sturridge and Ings and then having the brass balls to say “there’s nothing wrong with the process” is pure Mike Bassett stuff.

I think these comments prove it doesn't matter if we don't win another game this season or not, he's staying regardless and that's been the plan since he was given the job. Terrible, absolutely terrible. If anything I think Coates will be chuffed we're going down, no hefty bonus payment to be paid to Lambert that way

As I predicted, they will use Lambert to do the shit shovelling. He will drive out the wasters by making life miserable for them. He will be backed to bring in his own signings in the summer (and he does have championship knowledge) and be given a fair crack at getting us back up. He has got a championship promotion under his belt already. If things aren’t going well he well then get the boot.
I would personally get in a new manager and start again. But I can understand the appeal to the board of keeping him on.

"Nothing wrong with the process" "Don't know what all the fuss is about"
How far removed from reality can one man actually be?
Comments like these make me wonder why the fuck I bother.

He said at this moment in time there will be no change what would you expect him to say.The few who were on this board before the Prem slagged him off when he re-employed TP.If it was not for PC we would not of had 10years in the Prem and half of you would not be Stoke fans.He also said the aim would be to get right back,well he will have to bankroll that.The chairman deserves some respect.

Nothing wrong with the process but we chase a player (Sturridge) that anyone whose watched a football match knew wouldn't last more than a couple of games. When that fell through we chased Liverpool's only spare striker thinking they will release him on loan and have no back up for themselves.
