The Sky report I read said it was a 2 1/2 year deal until the Summer of 2020. Stoke must be mad

I wonder how far down the list Lambert was for the Stoke job. Good luck to him though, but I think Stoke really needed someone like Moyes or Allardyce to come in and steady the ship.

In Lambert terms any contract is short term

All the best to Lambert. He is going to need it. Won't be a popular appointment, but then appointing Martin O'Neill or Rowett is not necessarily any bigger guarantee of safety. He'll likely get handed a decent amount of money to try and fix some of the issues they have, which are largely defensive, as well as lacking energy in midfield. Being fairly local to Stoke myself these days, I hope he keeps them up. It's one of the few things the place has going for it. They are a decent club, with a board normally pretty loyal and sensible when it comes to giving managers time and backing.

Good luck to him. Must be around the anniversary of his screamer from 80 yards against Motherwell. |

good chance that there will be some technical players in the Stoke squad looking for a new club real soon then |

From no scots to two Scots in a few months for the EPL....to think it used to be rammed with them. If lambert does as well as Moyes he may well redeem himself, but just can't see it. How he got that job I've no idea, it's not like he has any charisma or talks well, it's a sign of a desperate club and it won't end well. What other potential scots are there that would get a premiership job? Can't think of any if I'm honest. Sad state of affairs really. |

I'm not sure he's as bad as people are making out but he's not a better manager than Hughes, which makes the decision to sack him with a replacement in place even more mad. |

Even with 1 EPL manager Scotland is,by population, proportionally higher represented than English managers in their own league. Now, that’s an indictment. |

That is true. I was just saying historically we had pure hunners of managers and players in their top league, we're not producing them like we use to, hope that changes but don't know when or how. |

It clearly was not working with Hughes though. It was too far gone, whether it be the players being scunnered with him, the tactics, whatever. They did need to stop the bleeding but should have binned him in the summer, as many had wanted/expected. Defensively there are some major liabilities in that team and they have no midfield energy or protection for the back line either. Hughes did well in his first two seasons with a pair of 9th place finishes, but it has been downhill since 2016/17. West Ham have the better squad so the template of Moyes does not necessarily follow, but Stoke still have more than enough to stay up, especially with a couple of well placed signings and a couple of tweaks here and there. Good luck to Lambert. Plenty doubts, but it would be good to see him prove a few people wrong. |

What about Alex Neil, I would say he did a good job with Norwich. There's also a few managers whom I would have approached before Lambert like Steve Clarke or even Owen Coyle. I do think that Jack Ross is one to watch for the future but the English game is getting harder to break into. |
