Stoke City star Joe Allen is confident that the club hierarchy will keep faith in manager Mark Hughes.

Hughes has found himself under some pressure recently following Stoke City's poor start to the season but nonetheless, Allen firmly believes that the Welsh manager will be handed ample time to turn things around at the bet365 Stadium.

He said: "That's what this club prides itself on, it's one of the reasons why I wanted to join it. They do things right here.

"They're a very stable club and without making rash decisions over time, these things work out for the best."
