I've had a bet on Steve Davis of Crewe. Been looking without success for the past few days to get odds but failed to do so, called BET Victor & they have added Davis on at 33/1 for me, so I had a bit of it. ( The advert )  If we wanted too we could have had our eye on Crewe & Davis for a while now and with him buying into their academy structure and doing well for them I think it is very possible as he should suit our vision for the future. |

The Coates family simply won't take the risk
He's untestedd.
It would be suicide.

Di Matteo seems to be the favourite for some reason...  |

Personally I would be very nervous also, and I would be wondering about the players reaction to him. Not for me mate. |

Roberto Di Matteo would take Stoke into the bottom three within twelve months of being appointed, in my opinion.

There's about a 90% correlation between wage bill and league position over the last few decades though, Geoff. If we retain a 12-14th place wage bill, it would take a superstar manager to get us in the top 6-8 or a complete dud to relegate us. Pulis isn't either of those - and I don't think RDM is. Especially when our transfer spend is comparatively large when compared to our peers. Status quo, position wise, will be fine if we do it in a slightly more entertaining way. |

Only a fiver mate, £170 return though, it's just a hunch & if I don't bet on it & it happened I'd be gutted about the £170 |

Probably as likely as Doug Mountjoy or Silvino Francisco.
You can see him maybe getting a Championship gig though

Are you still in denial Momo? More than Barrymore was in his married years. I've had a small wager on Di Matteo, purely because my contact has been bang on the money about other things before. |

This doesn't sound very nice to me. I think we are more likely to get a manager to really buy into the long term direction of the club if we pluck him from the lower divisions from the football league roof that is the Premiership & unlike a Rafa or even a Sven Eriksson it's more unlikely they will be poached by a bigger club should they start getting results simply because their C.V doesn't say Trophy after Trophy. Davies fieled 11 players from the academy last week, he is doing a good job, they play some decent football and he has just won them a trophy from Wembely. Got to be worth £5! |
