Laudrup duck, to take us back up, to the Prem, once again.
I'm like a rapper, proper urban, i love buildings and pavements and that.

There's no way big Sam would drop down to the championship surely?

That’s why I started the Cook thread yesterday mate, he’s done his apprenticeship and is moving on to better things I'd rather have Colin Cook.

If he becomes available then Allardyce, very unfashionable but would suit stoke down to the ground, lets face it we're an unfashionable club, now is not the time for fancy experimentation, go with tried and trusted, not only is he capable of getting us up but capable of keeping us there. 'Tried and trusted' is exactly why we're going down. Players, managers, formations all went to shit when we went for 'tried and trusted'.

If Lambert goes (i don't think he will) then the next appointment will be absolutely crucial, get it wrong and have a bad start to next season and we could be in in for a long few years in the championship, or worse! I don't think this is the time for the likes of Graham Potter or even QSF, we need a solid appointment, Big Sam is the man, he's the type of manager coates would have no compunction getting behind, he's basically a slightly more exotic Tony Pulis in a fat suit Everton are 8th in the league and their fans are moaning their bags off about him despite hovering over relegation before he took over, i know its all about expectations but we'd kill to be finishing 8th right now! when newcastle sacked him i believe they were also 8th in the premiership, they got relegated after sacking him, love or hate him the bloke knows what he's doing. If Allardyce was available and prepared to come, doubtful Coates would look elsewhere. And I can't see him being there next season unless they want riots. Just a bit sceptical whether he'll need the hassle of another job at a club like ours when the option of retiring to a Portuguese beach is available? That's how you get rid of a manager. Not singing his bastard name after he's just relegated you.

Got Bolton up, kept them up, improved the league positions of most clubs he's been at and never been relegated, he is tried and trusted (unless you offer him a vase full of ale and start talking money) perfect fit for stoke all round imo, would he drop down a division ? suppose it all comes down to money.

I wouldn't be angry at getting Allardyce. My statement stands about 'tried and tested'. If we go back to hoofball plodder shit we'll be making a big mistake.

Can we have a poll to get Lambert out first! Hopefully if enough of us sign it we can get the board to realise we are not happy. They need someone in fast and not wait until mid summer.

We will not poach an ambitious already in the championship manager. And we don’t want an out of work championship manager
That’s the reality
So Unproven in England (can’t see it) Proven ex prem manager of any nationality so back on the merry ground (can see this) Up and coming league 1 manager (not a chance) Just retired ex player. (Very risky)
I think we will be back on the merry go round unless they can get potter or some decent foreigner.
It’s shit or bust. Cone up first time while you can keep players and have the parachute. It becomes harder every year after
Get the right man in, give him some cash, keep joe, indi and bauer among our better players and that will give us a chance of coming back up.
Allardyce would not come with out serious investment so that is the biggest plus of getting him. Or go for potter with maybe a Steve McLaren TYPE experienced coach as number two

you will waste your time choosing between managers, and they will choose another cheap option.

David Moyes is still an option surely?! Yeah - if and when he leaves West Ham, he'd have to be right in the mix - especially if the rumours about our pre-Watford conversations with him are true. But it seems he's got a decent chance of staying there - certainly more of a chance than Big Sam!

Yeah that's what I was thinking, given the chance of him becoming available I think we'll take him in a heartbeat.

Partly depends on the play-offs outcome but my four (in no particular order) are: Jokanovic - 12 months left on contract Q Sanchez Flores - unemployed Moyes - soon to be unemployed Bruce - still on a 12 month rolling contract We should be working on this like the dog's bollox right now and the axe must fall on Lambert straight after the Swansea game

But Grapey, have you done the poll asking if Lambert should be sacked?
If not, and you do, can I suggest the responses, thus:
- yes, asap
- yes, after Swansea

Don't think we need a poll on that one, rsb! I'm guessing it'd make Vlad Putin's recent electoral victory look quite a tight squeeze!

So that would suggest that fans who post on here are generally anti-Boring Paul but loads who attend the games are still pro-BP judging by the rapturous acclaim he received following relegation yesterday! Seems something is rotten in the state of Denmark!

A very good shout for Cook. Exactly the type of manager we need.....so Coates will probably appoint Pardew.

Allerdyce should have been here at the start of the season. Stoke have to make such a mess of everything they do. Big Sam did well in getting West ham back up and he have far more loyalty from stoke than at Everton.

Big Sam did well in getting West ham back up and he have far more loyalty from stoke than at Everton. Big Sam would be high on my list but I fear the support at the end of the Palace game for Lambert has given our chairman the excuse for persevering with him. PL seems a nice enough bloke but not a very good manager.

Big Sam is a no brainier.
His appointment will shake up SCFC and strike fear into our promotion rivals next season.
And some of our current players will wish to stay.
Finally there will be no nonsense from our less reliable players.
Negotiations should already be at an advanced stage.
