Maybe my new set of players might think differentlyabout me. It’s an easy option to sit in the stands. Surely he knows enough about Stoke....he can ask Eddie’s opinion if he wants a second opinion. He’ll have learned a bit tonight, but not as much as if he’d picked the side and given the instructions. Exactly what I was thinking Dave Id be in the dressing room saying ‘Here I am , I’m up for it , you coming with me ? ....’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I totally agree with you Chief... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to remember that they are a shite club in a shite city and don’t know how good they’ve had it for the past 10 years! Reality check needed and a good example of why, as much as I’d love to get there, I’m not so convinced that getting to the Premier league is quite the “dream”, long term, that many picture! Not a fan of Stoke, but they've gone up and stayed in the Premier League for 10 years, achieving some top-half finishes during that time. Many of their players would simply walk into our team and be our star player. (Butland, Shaquiri, Berahino, Afellay, Pieters etc) Stoke's a shithole though.

Without googling it (honestly), I reckon it’s Niedzwiecki....Close? 41 minutes ago, RedLionLad said: The money's the same either way. Why should he care? Because he then sets the tone. He’s shirked his first challenge. His players (they are his now, no matter what manager signed them) can now question him. Had he gone in there and taken charge, they’d have known they were all in it together. I’m no psychologist, but that’s how my mind would’ve worked.

It's not even the normal old boys' club of Allardyce and Moyes. It's not even the second tier old boys' club of Hodgson and Pardew. It's the shit-stained dungeon 10 feet under the floorboards of the old boys' club. Stoke can **** right off. Can't be arsed with football at all. That is brilliant, made me chuckle. Maybe life ain’t so bad! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Reid Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Lambert won't rip up any trees that's for sure but I reckon he'll keep them up. His previous EPL position with Villa was marred towards the end with the owner being a tightwad and expecting him to work miracles with inexpensive Bulgarian no-marks and other players of that ilk.

I think I would have to go in straight from the off, like you said, and let them know I was now running the show. It's a strange job when some managers have probably earned more in compensation than they have wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent checked but surely Stoke fans are in uproar at this My Potter friend is none too chuffed. Maybe Stoke are just coming to a natural end to their time in the top flight.

Spot on, but both of those clubs will stay up comfortably in my opinion....nice to see Moyes get his 200th premier league victory against the Terriers, only Redknapp, Wenger and Ferguson have more....he’s underrated....
