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

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.
