Stoke have done a motivational Facebook video to try to get themselves out of trouble. The main narrative/mumbling comes from Lambert.

I've literally never heard anything less inspiring.  Enjoy!

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157157272644638&id=28928779637

Good fucking lord, who thought that that was a good idea?!  That dismal idiot mumbling "if we try hard we might win" isn't exactly Churchillian in the oratorical stakes is it? I wonder if it's the first in a series, to include "Public Relations, an expert's view by Jamie Carragher" and "Advanced Football Tactics - Tim Sherwood Explains All."

So inspiring, Lambert is a born leader and motivator. What an orator, that video makes me want to support Stoke.

Paul Lambert is backing his players to survive - with the help of their supporters.

Lambert was genuinely moved by the support of Stoke fans today - not least at the final whistle when they heartily applauded their team off.

Stoke's fourth successive defeat leaves them second bottom and in all kinds of strife, but not without hope says their manager after a performance like this afternoon's.

"I thought we were excellent throughout the game and were up against a really good side," said Lambert.

"I couldn't ask any more than the way we played.

Stoke need relegating simply for giving this utter cock a job in the first place.

Just replace Stoke or Stoke’s with Villa or Villa’s and you’d swear it was 2015. Is he looking like a tramp yet?

1 win in 10 since he went there. None in 9. Normally that sort of run would get you the sack so how the fuck does he keep managing to survive?!

Why on earth did they give him a two and a half year deal? He freely admitted he was astonished to get the job so he would surely have signed a short-term deal til the end of the season at which point they could have decided to get rid if they get relegated.

An interesting reunion awaits next season. The cnut won't know what hit him.

You would think a relegation clause exists in the contract. I still think there was this type of clause in the Villa contract whereby if they dropped into the bottom 3 he could be sacked, with a much reduced payout. Coates is cannier than the jokers that were in charge of us at the time, so you would expect better planning.

I'm genuinely astonished how low his stock has fallen. To think when we nicked him off Norwich he was an exciting, young, dynamic manager. What the hell happened?

Villa, Blackburn, Wolves and now Stoke.

Even allowing for the Villa handicap, there is enough data in to say beyond all doubt that he is, in fact, pish.

Good point, I hope you're right on the Villa thing.
With Stoke, if they do survive they may be in a better position to attract a better manager ie not in relegation trouble with half of the season gone. Lumbering themselves with Lambert even with a release clause seems pointless.
