Well that phone in kinda backs up the theory that those are the most anti Hughes were the ones that were most pro Pulis and are not coping well with their negative hero being booted into the sunset. BM The Rimmers cannot wait for him to fail. Pretty sad. I don't want him to fail. What good would that do the club? I still can't stand the bloke and want him to fuck right off.

Lol eddie howe wat a clown That lad was the most sensible caller yet! Very articulate for a young lad and far more intelligent and objective than this bozo on now that says he used to be a senior manager but doesn't want to go because Pulis isn't in charge any more. Boo Hoo I honestly think that some people have been brainwashed to be Pulis supporters and are more Pulis supporters than they are Stoke supporters! BM Ah yes I heard that senior manager. The one who thinks a 36% win rate isn't much better than a 26% win rate. Then argued that it wasn't the boredom that stopped people going but the fact they'd rather go on holiday. Hmmm not a great argument to support his point. I haven't felt this positive about the club for well over a year. Good luck Hughes, you said all the right things. It's now time to deliver.

Why didn't Blakeman not dig deeper on that change of direction question to Peter Coates? Pulis said he left because the club wanted to go in a new direction yet Coates said that was overstated and it was just about scouting and recruitment. So that begs the question how did that impact on Pulis and his leaving because of this new direction? BM On the press conference today coates said a change of direction was basically nonsense. Stoke basically want to be better at signing players, by that meaning maybe having a worth to the club. Mr coates said we need to be better at buying and SELLING them. Nonsense? So it was something that Pulis made up then? You never would have thought he would do that would you? Lies, spin, managing expectations, brainwashing people to think he is better than he is right up until his last breath. BM

I heard this too about the win ratio? We play 38 games so an extra 10% win equals 12 points if instead of winning you lost the matches and 8 points if instead of winning you draw the matches. Assuming a slight bias to moving from winning to drawing that's about 9 points. Now, that's a hell of a lot of points. I assume here that trying to get wins isn't offset by losing more!

But hes a trues Stoke fan watched em for 50 years he says What a prat and steve the first caller, not been for five years is going to get a season ticket- thats a dick Not been for a while myself, but getting a season ticket this time. Watching dire predictive football was not my idea of spending my hard earned cash! The only entertainment at the brit was listening to pathetic stoke fans arguing amongst them selfs, and that was down to the football on offer. Stoke fan for 45 years and the football that was on offer was the worst ever under Pulis. More offensive football will now be restored under the new manager. Yours truly A.N Dick

A 36% win rate gets you 41 points mimimum. Frankly I was surprised that Hughes's is as high as 36% and Pulis as low as 26%. The bloke was trying to use it to argue against Hughes so I guess his figures must be correct.

If having Hughes gets rid of all the Jonny come latelies that supported Manure or Chelski before 2008 then I'll be happy! Moaning bunch of fair weather supporters the lot of em!
Fuck me, we've had far far worse appointments than Hughes. A man that may deliver more than TP if given the time and chance to do so...who knows how well he will do?
Support your fucking team! I know loads on here know the score but fuck me we've got some dickheaded moronic supposed fans!

But hes a trues Stoke fan watched em for 50 years he says What a prat Ooi he's been a manager you know. That particular caller also concluded from a sample size of two out of a population of thousands that the reason people hadn't renewed season ticket was because they preferred to spend the cash on holidays whilst watching the games from the pub. Anyone claiming differently was apparently lying. With analysis like that(and that was by no means the only flawed evidence he referenced) I wonder if his early retirement was entirely of his choosing?

What I found odd, assuming I understood correctly, was that our new method of scouting and recruitment was to let Cartwright do the scouting but to give MH the last say? Surely, it's better to let one of the best ever prem forwards to do the scouting and for Cartwright to do the fee and salary negotiations? No....the idea is for Cartwright to do the donkey work , and then to allow Sparky to make the final decision. There is no way he should be allowed anywhere near contract negotiations for whatever reason.

So one season ticket is selling his season ticket because of Hughes but would come back if we won the first 12 matches. What a fucking melt. He made my blood boil that caller - What a tool!!. Hes the sort of supporter we don't need. I know we iff-ed and arr-ed about getting season tickets this year as i really wasn't looking forward to seeing such bad matches as we saw last season, but the Stoke City in us ended up drawing us in and we renewed at early bird. And that caller that wanted early bird prices re-instated. Err no. Fans that renewed early were willing to pay out to watch Stoke whatever the situation and get rewarded with cheaper prices. If you weren't willing to renew early because of the manager then, then thats your fault. You should support the team not just the manager.
