I'd say being sacked ticks the 'out of a job' box. But I think he was sacked because he'd already agreed to go to Aberdeen. I'm sure I read that in the Press & Journal at the time.... On reading wikipedia researching, you're quite right. Apologies.

If this was offer to made to RDM then surely TP would walk right now? No way his ego would let him carry on to the end of the season if he knew RDM was coming in regardless.

RDM - I think he would be a decent appointment. Good connections in the game, well above average overall record with MK, WBA, Chelsea. I mean, I know beating Barca and Bayern was a bit smash and grab in the CL. But we are talking about the 2 best teams in the world here FFS!!! It's a great achievement. Plus I'm sure with Coates aspirations for a successful academy conveyor belt, somebody like Robbbie DM would be the right kind of guy at the helm. And he's a likable bloke.
However, I would also snap your hand off at any of the following... Benitez, Steve Bould, Solskjaer + G Nev, Martinez.
Oh and Johan Fuking Boskamp!!

The only reliable sources are Tomato or Brown. Your guy knows Jack Shit. Attention seeking bollocks SGS Attention seeking? Thevoid??? Noooooo!!?! Yes, there doesn't go a day without me starting up a rumour thread on here. I've lost count of the number of threads i've started, there must literally be thousands My source doesn't work for the club, but they are in communication with someone who is. Di Matteo is certainly more realistic than Benitez, I can't believe people are still throwing his name around as a realistic option

This source of mine doesn't do bullshit or false rumour-mongering. Apparently, RDM has already agreed to become Stoke gaffer in the Summer. I don't post rumours for the sake of it. The odds in some quarters have been slashed from 66/1 to 6/1 in some quarters on Di Matteo next Stoke boss. The only reliable sources are Tomato or Brown. Your guy knows Jack Shit. Attention seeking bollocks SGS I can't believe it's taken until the fourth page to produce the source/condiment joke, I expected an appearance on page one Anyway, tomato and brown sauces are for queers. Levi Roots Reggae Reggae all the way for me By the way, while you're in the zone regarding telling us what people don't know, any chance you can tell us what the lottery numbers won't be on Saturday?

I think there are only two managers in the Premiership who could do better than Tony Pulis, Alex Ferguson and David Moyes. Regarding unemployed managers, perhaps you should ask yourselves why they are without a job. Do you seriously believe the bollocks that you write???

wow why do people want RDM ? sacked by west brom, got VERY lucky in champs league with chelsea and wouldnt have got near either job if it wasent for who he was when playing football would rather have pulis to be perfectly honest Oniell is the only manager i would have Hang on, he GOT LUCKY playing Pulis-style tactics against Barca- presumably TP would 'be lucky' then had he won a two-legged tie employing such tactics against, say Man Utd then? Or would you be hailing him a genius? The difference is, that was Barca- RDM wouldn't employ such an approach against sodding Fulham. FortressBritannia- I get the impression you'd be underwhelmed with anyone who wasn't Pulis mate. Like I say, I'm not in the habit of posting rumours for the sake of it. I've heard this is a done deal. Im not doubting you credability at all And no i do want pulis to leave but RDM has done nothing of note to warrant the job, i think we would end up worse off

Yep. Just like the bloke who engineered our return to the Premier League, defied the odds to keep us up, got us to our first ever FA Cup Final and made our home ground one of the most feared in English football.

RDM would have to go some to beat our (none) goalscoring record of the past 2 seasons that's for sure. He also probably wouldn't get the enormous financial backing Pulis got either since someone spunked it away.

There's no way Coates would agree a deal for a new manager whilst the club is in a relegation scrap and its future, with the increased TV revenue next season, is in the hands of the current one. I'm 99% sure that Pulis will still be here next season.

Football is a business like any other. Given how much skin Coates has got in the game and the commercial implications for Bet 365 I wouldnt bet against a behind the scenes deal. I have been involved in commercial work with two current premier league sides (not Stoke)and I can tell you that the owners will do what they want when they want and irrespective of what they say in public or I am sorry to say what the fans think. if I were Coates I would have told Pulis he is out at the end of the season with an enhanced pay off if he keeps us up. I would be already working to find the replacement

Quite like Nigel Pearson but not convinced. Whoever it is needs to be able to work with what we have and gradually make us more enjoyable to watch while returning defensive stability. I don't think Martinez, Di Matteo could do that and the dramatic change in style could be a disaster.

snapper23, I cannot think of a more dangerous thing to do , to tell the manager he is out at the end of the season. What would that achieve?
