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. No he couldnt That doesn't make any sense because he didn't lose every game. So actually, he could have.

Lambert out.His backroom staff are non league esque. Look at Cardiffs back room full of experienced know how. Lambert Out! I agree with this point too - the back room set up is laughable Butlands comments re Lambert are damning in that he may well be preferable to Hughes but he (Lambert)managed to conspire to achieve an even worse set of results so so much for playing for the manager

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 I'm rational. 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) You are also a condescending prick If backing Lambert is 'rational' then how come you fail to identify with the fact that he has the worst managerial record in our recent history

Huddersfield and Newcastle and assorted other of our bottom-feeding rivals would kill for Butland, BMI, Bauer, Shawcross, Zouma, Pieters, Allen, Ndiaye, Shaqiri...
Strikers were lacking - but we were the 10th highest scorers in the league, deep into the season, when the axe fell on Hughes.
Lambert has proven himself utterly incompetent. The easiest thing in football is putting men behind the ball and playing cowardly football. That's all he's done. Our 'tactics', such as they are, have been completely witless and his in-game management is almost comical.
His backroom staff also must be the worst in Prem history. His Norwich staff haven't worked with him since about 2011 after bullying accusations at Villa - and he's been completely lost without them
After going against the grain and backing Hughes too long, I don't think they'll have the brass neck to back this clown any longer as it'll reflect on them very badly hen it needlessly goes completely tits up.
You'd think they'd get rid next week in an arse-covering exercise

That doesn't make any sense because he didn't lose every game. So actually, he could have. And he won exactly 0 games out of the last 13. He has the record of our longest winless streak in The Premier League - I think it takes some effort to be that BAD Maybe hes going for the record of longest winless streak in the history of our club? He must be past half way there already. Is that why you want to give him until November?

Hasn’t Lambert gone yet?
If he has any self-respect he will have handed in his resignation this morning.
Perhaps the delay is because Scholes and Cartwright have also (and quite rightly) resigned.

Scholes won't be going anywhere - he's in charge of one of the best run clubs in the Prem, sorry Championship. Cartwright must be fired - our transfers since he's been in place have been terrible (I know Hughes had the final say but playing FIFA18 is not the best way of picking players

Wake up please, he's as shite as shite can be.

The question is; As fans what do we need to do to ensure he is gone by the end of his season? Organize a petition. There must be someone who can whip up a web site, market it on every single Stoke forum and collect 30,000 Stokies signatures. With a simple request. “ Dear Peter Coates, Win, lose or draw, I want Lambert gone immediately after the final whistle of the Swansea game.” No threats, no abuse, no whining, no blame. I think every Stokie in the world would sign that.

Shut up Spinks.
He deserves absolutely nothing.
He’s stolen a wage for 6 months that’s more than enough.

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... The halcyon days. A short bike ride to the Stadium, sun setting in the background, a few photos and a grin, back home to upload. Life was good. Where did it all go wrong? Build a new stadium, get relegated, build a new stand, get relegated. When will they ever learn!

Spinks and the rest of the Stoke media including radio Stoke are in the pocket of Coates. Whatever happened to independent and strong journalism.....shit themselves in case the club refused to talk to them. Another avenue where the club should've been held to account but bottled.

I know things were testy between him and Hughes at the end, but this insane Lambert apologist stuff as a stick to further beat him with is really a bit poor The thing that worries me about this is ... would Spinks write something like this, if he didn't feel pretty confident that he'd had a pretty positive steer from somebody at the club on what the most likely outcome was going to be? He wouldn't want to be seen to be championing a failure if there was a high likelihood that he was about to get sacked. It's almost like he's been given a tip on the result and is now attempting to join the dots to understand it.
