STOKE CITY APPOINTS PAUL LAMBERT AS MANAGER



Stoke City have appointed former Aston Villa and Norwich boss Paul Lambert as manager.


 Stoke are 18th in the Premier League table, a point away from safety, and were sent out of the FA Cup by Coventry City (League Two side). Lambert hasn't managed any team since leaving Wolves at the end of last season.He has also managed Colchester, Wycombe Wanderers and Blackburn.

 Stoke chairman Peter Coates said: "Paul greatly impressed us with his knowledge of our squad and had a clear plan of how he would improve our results.
"He's a man who backed himself as a player, none more so than when he turned down contract offers in Scotland to go on trial in the German Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund, and it's obvious he adopts the same approach as a manager."
Vice-chairman John Coates added: "Paul has been successful in management at clubs with a strong and stable background and with local ownership - the kind of foundation we are able to give to our managers.
"We were determined to appoint someone with Premier League experience or an extensive knowledge of English football."


Lambert will take over on Tuesday but will watch Monday's match away at Old Trafford (20:00 GMT) from the stands
His first match as manager will be Saturday's home game against Huddersfield.

WILLIAN TRANSFER TAKES NEW TURN WITH THESE RECENT CLAIMS

Chelsea transfer window has been up and down and not progressing for a while now especially with several reports coming out about their best leaving. E.g. Hazard, Willian, Courtois and Kante. Chelsea board has been doing their best to keep them at the club since Maurizio Sarri has displaced Antonio Conte, who lost the dressing room. One of the players that seemed most likely to leave was Willian. Reports suggested that Barcelona and Manchester United were bidding for him which Chelsea held a high valuation of £70 million for him. However, Barcelona signed Malcom and Manchester United aren't close to signing him. After it all appeared to be over, Willian wasn't back at Cobham for pre-season and was reported to have passport issue which Sarri thought it was strange and was going to have a word with the player.  But then...
