We’re literally the only club in the football league who would allow a manager to win 1 in 14 games (regardless who’s squad it is) and stay at the helm. Yes, our Peter has been a massive part of our recent success by throwing money at the club but if he really loved the club he would be making decisions that reflect that and not showing blind faith and loyalty to this divvy! Contrary to our success, Coates is about to play an even bigger part in our demise if he doesn’t smell the coffee. Fans will begin to resent him and soon he’ll be remembered as the blind-faith dinosaur that allowed us to sleep walk into League 1! Time to hand the reigns over to John Coates. John Coates waxed lyrical about Lambert when we appointed him, he's heavily involved already. Personally I'd give Richard Smith a go. He admits he knows nothing about football but it's plain that neither do the others currently running the circus. He's been responsible for the infastructure enhancements, from the CW training ground through to the new corner. All done on time and to budget. He's the only one on the board that has delivered results in the last 10 years from my vantage point. What do you expect though, he's married to Denise, a born achiever by the looks of it? It's going to be a long hard summer for you mate. Sitting in the dust outside your new corner on your own. Everyone else has gone away to Llandudno, or the posh ones to the Isle of Wight. Spreading melted bitumen with a lollipop stick waiting for the time to roll on so you can go home for your tea. Knowing your corner will be left empty and unloved when the few that will return in August show up. And to cap it all Lambert the Ring Master sitting a few yards away looking up the Oakwell phone number in his rolodex to check if Tom Bradshaw might be available. Yes, it going to be a long tough summer...

Yep.
The best manager in the World wouldn't have turned this around.
You're responding like Lambert took on a sleeping giant who he couldn't wake up.
The fact is, he took on many players who were absolutely useless in the Premier League. They were useless when we signed them too.
Lambert could have done much worse. It's better to go to Liverpool and draw 0-0 and not lose 0-9 which wouldn't have surprised some of us. He has at least steadied the boat with some aspects of our play.
I'm not saying give him a 10 year contract. Give him until November.

He's not good enough for the Premier League. However, he won successive promotions with Norwich City from League One to the Premier League so he's got good history down there. I say give the bloke a chance. He should be left alone to re-mould the squad during pre-season and he must be supported by the club in the transfer market. However, he should be sacked if there's a serious concern regarding relegation by November. Hopefully, the club will be monitoring the job market for competent managers at Championship level should one be required long before the January transfer deadline ends. His promotion was SEVEN years ago!!! Since then his record in the championship is as follows... Blackburn 15th finish Wolves 15th finish and fired (look what happened to Wolves since he was ditched) Hull City took a look at him and decided Nigel Adkins was a better option...fuck me! So no he has little credibility even at Champ level. In 2/3 years time Lambert will find his level in League 1, I hope it's not with us.

He worked with the same players, except with a couple of decent upgrades, as Hughes but had worse results, when will this nonsense stop being spouted

I dont know too much about old Stoke players, but i think the team needs someone with a real spirit from the old fighters. Hughes was an employee, Lambert is another employee with less capabilities, Stoke needs someone like Darren Moore in WBA but with a better capabilities.

I don't blame Lambert for taking us down - but his team selection and game management leave me cold. It seems that his whole ethos is tight defense and frantic energy (which with our previous training regime left us falling apart in the last 20 mins as we were knackered), and his substitutions were baffling(worse than Hughes). Also, one of my main complaints is that when he arrived he allegedly impressed the board with his knowledge of the squad and what we did, or didn't need. Well anybody who has watched Stoke for the last few seasons would have told him we need more pace in the team and a striker who could score. However, we went through the window not really addressing these issue(backroom failings maybe) and stated playing all the old boys giving even less pace than we already had. He should have said spend £20 million on a striker, or we will go down. Possibly no manager could have kept us up with what was available (possibly showing the ones that turned us down had a better knowledge of the squad than Lambert) but his record is terrible and so, sorry Paul thanks but we must say goodbye.

Who else can see the following scenario: 1.Lambert gets given the job. 2.We're midtable or worse after 20 games. 3.Lambert is sacked 4.The recently-sacked Neil Warnock is hired in his place. Nailed. On. Warnock has got 8 teams promoted to the premier league, would be a great manager for us Why would he come here? He's now with a Premiership club!

This is not like comparing apples to apples. So you don't think we have players good enough to win the occasional football match ? How many games have we led under Lambert where we ultimately failed to win ? Do you think that's coincidence? His game management is appalling - did you watch MOTD on Saturday and litsent to their analysis of how we managed what was supposedly 'bigger than the European Champions League Final' for Lambert ? He is a fraud and I cannot believe that any Stoke fan would want him here next season spouting his bollocks about how amazing he is when his record speaks volumes - you are fucking crackers

Its obvious the players are really with him despite the results......look at Shaqiri's goal celebration...went straight for PL. Butland's interview suggests there were massive problems in the dressing room when he arrived, talks about lack of discipline and players who were not interested in playing.

You're the extreme. I was devastated when we appointed him (we realised then that we are not big enough for this league) and we are aware of 2 other managers who rejected us. One of which had never managed in the Premier League. There would have been other managers who would have refused any offer to take us on. Our squad is a mixture of being too old and inexperienced - I doubt there are other managers who could have got us winning. Have you ever gone through a relegation season? Check out the one under Mills and Balls (it's not a love story)
