But according to the Daily Record, Lambert is keen to have Taylor as his No2 again after the pair worked together at Wolves. Paul Lambert told me before the game he wasn't going to get involved and he paid me that respect.

"So to be given it at a great club like this is fantastic".

The former Norwich and Aston Villa boss has signed a two-and-a-half year deal to take charge at the Bet365 Stadium in a move that has shocked supporters.

Stoke are now in the relegation zone and are one point away from safety.

The Stoke owners, who had persisted with Hughes until the club was knocked out of the FA Cup by lower-division Coventry City, said they were impressed by Lambert's pedigree as a Champions League-winning player for German giants Borussia Dortmund. "The club shouldn't be in the position we are in", he said.

On Sunday, Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill rejected the chance to take over at the bet365 Stadium, after Gary Rowett signed a new contract at Derby County and former Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores made a decision to remain with La Liga side Espanyol.

Having suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Monday night, Lambert is now set to take charge of the side and Fletcher believes his fellow Scot will give the club a boost.

"I'm 100% sure that we have enough to stay up". The Potters are now in the relegation zone, and Lambert and Taylor know that they have a big challenge on their hands to reverse that slump. "If we can get a togetherness with the team, as well as fans' backing, we should be fine", he said.

Stoke, in the final relegation place, are a point adrift of 17th-placed Southampton ahead of Saturday's home league game against 14th-placed Huddersfield Town. You can see how the pressure affects managers in football clubs who are chopping and changing all the time so I'm delighted to be here.
