After another demoralizing loss at the Theater of Dreams, but for Stoke City newly appointed Boss Paul Lambert, he will have an incentive to work with in the remainder if he saves this squad from the abyss a hefty bonus awaits.
Desperate is the correct word for the Potters directives of not seeing their squad going down without a fight and for this squad to see another campaign in the top flight of Premiership.
For a man that has an extensive career has a professional player and now as a manager this time, he inherited an all-around challenge to work with and deliver the Staffordshire squad to salvation.
Still playing the second place Manchester United and at their home in Old Trafford, the odds of netting a positive result were null but not impossible to see an upset in the works but today there was no miracle.
Not like his days in Aston Villa or Norwich City where he earned some awards as manager of the year in League 1 and in Championship alongside netting several manager of the month awards with the Canaries.
After the Potters, top Brass was failing to lure several big names to Bet365.com Stadium in the likes of Gary Rowett, Quique Sanchez Flores and Republic of Ireland Boss Martin O’ Neill seeing a possible move of O’Neill and Keane to Stoke City.
All of these three men interviewed and with several courtships, at the end these came out frustrated as the North Irish and his Irish assistant were to stay put in the Green Army helm and the Spaniard staying put in Espanyol and Rowett extending his contract with Derby.
As opportunity, hit and its availability was the ideal recipe for Lambert to come to these parts of England and try his best to make a turnaround of this troubled squad desperately seeking a way of saving its campaign at whatever cost.
After seeing in the stands how his Potters succumbed to the likes of the local Manchester United Red Devils fury and all around dominance, he got some time to study his side and with an initial eleven that seriously become a contender.
Paul Lambert can easily snap this squad sluggish game and shake it down to revive and take advantage of the talent this squad has and its arsenal not taken advantage with a dose of unity and team work with an injection of passion.
Things can be changing for the better in Staffordshire.
For now, his first real test of fire will come on Bet365 Stadium when the Terriers of Huddersfield Town come to pay the Potters a visit and here it starts the Lambert era with a test of fire, will he deliver or he go down.
This answer will be available come the end of the campaign were the Potters sharing the three spots of relegation with Swansea City and West Brom Albion in the bottom of the general table.
Still who can turn down a £ 1 million pounds for Stoke City to see another day in the ranks of the English Premier League, tempting?
