Is the new stoke manager....

Bizzare if you ask me. Love him for everything he did for us here, but after his spell at Villa everything went south.

Be very interesting to see if he can keep them up

The bottom half of the Prem is so tight that no-one should believe they are stitched on to go down and no-one that they are safe.

I thought Brighton, Bournemouth and Swansea at the start of the season and still think that could be it but perm any 3 from 11.

So Lambert, if he still has the bottle, could change Stoke''s defensive attitude around and look for goals.

[Woodman 92]

Wow! I did NOT see that coming...

[Hoola Han Solo 448]

Hughton will probably be back in the Championship next season too. Well hopefully, no one wants boring anti football in the Premier League.

Think he''ll keep them up. With hindsight he made a better job of Villa than it looked at the time considering what has happened to them since he left. Made some bad choices after he left Villa and think Stoke is a far better fit.

Huddersfield, Brighton and Swansea to come down for me.

Outstanding manager would love him back. Stoke could do a lot lot worse and he gets 110% out of everyone

[Nuff Said 6,026]

Presumably Ian Culverhouse is not going to Stoke? There was a theory that a lot of Lambert''s access was actually down to him. This might decide it one way or the other.

[Nuff Said 6,026]

Success, not access!!!

[ec-p 118]

Stoke fans not happy it seems.

[Branston Pickle 4,168]

Yorkshire - those comments re: getting 110% may have applied when he was here but didn''t at Villa, Blackburn or Wolves. He ''fit'' brilliantly here, it was the right time and right place. Stoke are an intreresting one, a mate of mine from there reckons they are in a bit of a mess - but a decent start for him and who knows.

[lake district canary 4,874]

Lambert had the best time at Norwich because we were ripe for development and on a mission to get up and back in the Championship.  At other clubs he has not recaptured that and he could struggle at Stoke too.  His best bet would have been to go back to a lower league club and build something from there again, but then he would be unlikely to have Culverhouse and Grant Holt to help him....

It''s Waveney I feel sorry for. [:(]

chairman Peter Coates: "Paul greatly impressed us with his knowledge of our squad and had a clear plan of how he would improve our results." #SSN

With Norwich he built the squad so is the squad Stoke have better than the one he got when he arrived at Villa? I think so and I think he will keep them up.

Right man in the right place at the right time. All the ingredients were there including his own style and ability.

No guarantee he will ever be lucky enough for everything to come together for him again.

This is Lambert''s 7th managerial appointment!

He''s been around. Truth is, and as much as I like him, he''s only been successful at one club.

I think this appointment could be his last decent one if he doesn''t succeed. To think, had he stayed at us for a bit longer he may have ended up with a top 6 job and enjoyed much success.

[Making Plans 957]

I wish him well and hope he proves once and for all that he is not a one hit wonder.

[ron obvious 1,731]

Where''s The Waveney?

[Sooty57 414]

Could it be that Stoke see Lambert as the best option to get them back to the Prem at first attempt next season?

[king canary 8,905]

Best manager we''ve ever had in my time going to games. Wish him nothing but success.

It’s funny how Brighton look to be repeating our demise under Hughton, same old same old.

Lambert fitted our rise, we also had a new outlook and dynamic set up with the introduction of McNally & Bowkett, so the club was on the bounce from the brink and our lowest position in long time.

Lambert has shown to be a tad suspect since leaving us and without Karsa and Culverhouse. Wish him luck Stoke could be just right for him.

[vos 176]

Bearing in mind the same old managerial rabble still available, I think Lambert is as good a bet as anyone. I agree he really needs Culverhouse with him.

[paul moy 235]

I''ve a sneaky feeling that he will do rather well... expectations are not as high at Stoke as they were at Villa, and they have a more talented squad.

[Diane 500]

I wish him well, he gave us some exciting times which we will never forget

[Fuzzar 1,870]

He''s got his work cut out fixing that defence.

[Darth Canary1 92]

He will keep them up, I''ve no doubt about that but that is about all, hugely overated
