I imagine he'll get a round of applause. Perhaps a cake?

Complete indifference.
It’d be like clapping for a bloke who served you a pint in the pub once.

Smattering of light applause should do it. Always spoke very highly of the club and fans (albeit very lucky to land the job), tried to rectify 2 years of negligence and tried to get a bunch of lazy, demotivated shites to do a bit of graft. For what it's worth I see little difference between him and Rowett.

I'll clap him, but only for having the skills to get an interview let alone the job - that was the work of a wizard! Well done Paul.

You kind of feel sorry for the bloke for being such a dopey bugger and you'd great him with a smile if you bumped into him in the street. But damn if you aren't glad he doesn't work in your local anymore.

I will be giving him a clap , he certainly tried hard and was let down by some daft mistakes in some games that could have easily kept us up.

Polite respect beforehand. After kick off he's just another manager.

Yes, Every manager we have faced this season has deployed that approach to the pre-match build up. Blow smoke up our arse and then declare it a great success when they either beat us or at least avoid defeat. The longer we continue to under perform the more ridiculous its starting to sound!

Bloke deserves a decent reception. He was passionate and give everything he could for the club. Can't knock him. He just ended up with an appalling record and he had zero luck. Every game I watched under him we played with passion. The game against Liverpool towards the end of the season was good. He got the best out of Moritz Bauer as well. I for one wish he was still our manager now.

A throughly decent bloke who gave it all.
He had no option but to play so defensive as we were shipping goals all over the place before he arrived. He got the players fitter and weeded out the troublemakers in a short time.
I'm sure he'd have got more points on the board for us than Rowett with the 50m he would have spent.
I hope he gets a decent reception.

He seems genuine Rowett feels more like a good talker to me , something Lambert wasn't I think we would have been better off keeping him and letting him spend the money than appointing Rowett.

He has a better record than Rowett for promotion. I think he would have had the team firing on all cylinders from Day One of the new season had he been able to keep his job.
I would bet a million quid that PC wanted to keep Lambert and was forced to make a change by the board, due to fan pressure.
Lambert didn't relegate Stoke, I would never pin that on him.
The man is light years ahead of Rowett in my eyes

I’ll clap the man, I loved his passion.. the stuff he did at stoke behind the scenes was brilliant and you could really see he wanted it to work. Fair play to him shame it never worked out.

I for one wish he was still our manager now. Not sure the Bauer things correct, indeed Bauer started all guns blazing at right back and then for some weird reason Lambert had the brain wave of moving him to the left wing, where he was a complete fish out of water. Thinking that Glen Johnson of all people was a better bet than Bauer at right back. With barking mad thinking like that I'm glad he's nowhere near our club. Nice decent bloke that he is, I'm afraid his best days as a manager are well behind him.

I'm deeply concerned, all views on Gary Rowett aside than some people on here wish that Paul Lambert was still our manager.
The guy has been on a career tail-spin for the past 5 years, he took over at Wolves quite early in 16/17 and moved them from 19th...to 15th, when they spent 30 mil that year. I don't get what evidence suggests he would be doing a better job now, when he did exactly the same as what Rowett gets (rightly) criticised for...sit back on leads, men behind the ball, players out of position et cetera.

I can't see why anyone would actively dislike Lambert. The guy was clearly passionate about keeping us up and was left with an absolutely diabolical set of players to work with. He tightened up a leaky as fuck defence (something Rowett has reversed) but was unable to get a limp as fuck strike-force to work like Lennon and fucking McCartney. Shock horror, Peter Crouch and Saido Berahino didn't morph into Gabriel Batistuta and Claudio Caniggia.
You could easily call Lambert a mug for taking the job in the first place. It was a lose lose situation for him. Keep us up? "Well Stoke really shouldn't be in the bottom half of the table anyway". Relegated? "Lambert's a terrible manager".
I won't be dancing in the stands for him, but there's nothing wrong with a polite applause for a guy who genuinely did his very best for our club.

No doubting his passion but I've got a different view of his as you call it brilliant behind the scenes work. My idea of a good manager isn't one that say's oh you're trouble go sit on the naughty step and train with the kids, absolutely any fooker can do that. A good manager takes them to one side listens to the gripes and uses man management skills to get to the route of the problems and come up with a solution to get them on to the pitch and performing. Such a cop out and piss easy to just say yeah he's a bad apple I've washed my hands of him. We ended up with talented players banished and not used, to just use the huffers n puffers in the squad, a good manager would have solved there problems and reintegrated them in to the team, then fucked the arseholes out of the club once relegation had been avoided.

Hasn’t he won his last two trips to the Brit as an opposition manager( Wolves in the FA Cup) and I thought he was in charge when Norwich beat us 1-0 (3rd or 4th home game under Hughes)?

He will get 5 seconds of polite applause from me beforehand, and a snooker ball in a sock thrown at him if they beat us.....
