A whole lot of criminal offences. Drink driving is a criminal offence, not a traffic offence. As good as a player he was, he blew it when he got locked up for a third time for drink driving. He clearly hasn't learnt his lesson. No sympathy for drink drivers...just look at Luke McCormick and the devastation he caused. The amount these guys get paid, they could have a bloody chauffered car to ferry them around if they want a drink. And traffic offences are also criminal offences when that serious, it would be reasonable to assume from his repeated drink related problem that there is where the root of his problems lie.Etherington was helped with his gambling addiction, we don't know whether help has been offered to Pennant. This was the entire point of my remarks thst none of us know the full facts and this must limit our judgement to speculation. Full circle. That's probably a fairly safe assumption.

He's had enough chances IMHO. The only thing Pulis did right last season was fuck him off on loan, you can't keep giving chances to someone like him, he's done it at almost every club he's been at. That doesn't mean I dont appreciate what he did for us in his first two years as he was brilliant. he is an idiot to himseldf.....Get rid and replace him....

Trouble with taking Pennant is he'll take up the right wing slot while he has another fresh start, then after deadline day he'll break a club rule get frozen out again then we'll have Shotton at right mid! I know that Pulis tried his best with him, so don't see why he deserves 'another chance'. You know Pulis tried his best with him do you? All we know is the very little that was reported in the press and on twatter about the fallings out. Nothing was actually confirmed apart from he got done for drink driving, while a lot of people on here were calling him woman beating scum for another incident that night, which he was totally exonerated from. Let's face it none of us know what went on, and with the chairman seemingly on board with the idea then maybe, just maybe TP didn't actually try his best and had washed his hands of Pennant well before we thought he had. Anyway for me , I don't see why giving him a years contract and using him as a back up is a bad idea? H Yes RAF I do know, as I do know Tony, however I would/will never ever put any info/conversations on here, other than TP has tried his best with him. I also stand by my comment that I don't see why he deserves another chance, however I would love to see Pennant running down the wing, but only if it was no detriment to the side on or off the pitch. That's up to Hughes, if he gives him another go and he doesn't upset the apple cart again, great.

Fair enough, I happen to think Pennant is a cock, but a talented one which Pulis didn't have a clue how to manage, and the only way he could do that was to drop him and send him out on loan. It doesn't matter now, as Hughesy will either say yay or nay, but I'd rather see Pennant on the wing than Ryan Shotton or Jon Walters any time of the year and if the reason people don't want him to play is because he's been done for d and d a few times I'm sure they must have had banners outside the Brit when Periwinkle returned tagged up from Prison?

I think most people would like to see him play if under control having said that most would also see an equal player in instead with no baggage.

Well I for one believe that you believe him and I'm sorry if you have divulged too much into the bargain, even if it was just that ' you know'. Obviously I would love someone in with at least equal talent and no baggage, for me it's the ones with baggage that have the most talent unfortunately. H

Pennant on his day is easily one of the best wingers I've seen down Stoke in my 20 years of attending. Bit of a knob off the pitch but so talented, I would definitely keep him.

Pennant will never again play for Stoke. Apparently not only did he fall out with Pulis over his off the pitch antics he also had a fling with another players wife. The squad rallied around and refused to work with Pennant hence he has not been at the club for some weeks and was never even seen at training in final 4 or 5 weeks of the season.
I can't ever see him back at Stoke.

Pmsl....I love these stories and every club has em The last one was hoeffkens shagging Higgis missis I think The first one ever was back in the Everron glory days when Gary Stephens was apparently shagging Pat Van Den Hauwe missis and he was sold to Rangers The ones who believe this stuff make me laugh

Credit to Joey who seems to have called this last week! Don't post all that often, but those who know me on here know I don't like spreading rumours or rubbish. Seen Pennant's name mentioned a few times, he's not "history" by any means. Club are in discussions to keep him now that Pulis has gone, and I presume he will jump at the chance. Not sure on the club's motives for doing this (i.e they genuinely think he's very good/want to keep the fans on the board's side), but it does mark a line in the sand on their future policy of being in control of signings, seeing as a manager has yet to even walk through the door to sanction it.. Joe Not sure on the specifics of 'club' either mate, Peter and John Coates + Cartwright perhaps will be making the decisions on signings. Not entirely sure if this policy is one i'm comfortable with either. Likewise, Bayern. He's evidently a bad egg, we could replace him with a young and hungry winger on half the money that he's on who would cause a tenth of the trouble too. Should be taking advantage of the fact that Mr Pulis had the foresight to only offer him short term deals...for a reason! Sorry, not been on here much recently. Thanks for the mention!

Did you know...
Pennant has played more games for Stoke than he has any other club??
Stoke - 57 Games Liverpool - 55 Games Birmingham - 50 Games
Shows how much he moves around considering how long we've had him / played him last year.

Made up that pennant has the opportunity to redeem himself at Stoke. Call him all the cunts in the world but he's a good winger and we need him back firing on all cylinders. One chance Jim.....but i reckon his demise was more to do with Pulis and his inadequate line ups than Pennant's poor performances. 12 months to put it right Jim....sort it out

Interesting about his comments about Pennant's attitude with the Under 21's whilst the rest of the squad were in the states.
I posted, early last season, what I will post now on this matter.
Last season when Pennant was ousted there were all sorts of comments about what he had and hadn't done to fall out of favour. I posted that it was a falling out with Pulis and had become a personal matter and nothing like what others were alluding to. I also commented that I knew for a fact that when forced to train and play with the youngsters, both during pre-season and into the season, Pennant's attitude to both playing and training was nothing short of exemplary and had been reported as such to Pulis.
I was told that Pennant was not only exemplary in his approach but also that he was brilliant with the youngsters, taking time AFTER training to work with them on various skills and generally helping them as much as possible. Apparently he went "above and beyond" the call of duty with them and my contact really couldn't speak highly enough of his attitude at the time.
Seemingly, with Mark Hughes comments, Pennant has shown the same attitude again when forced to work with the youngsters and as such, has worked his way very much into his plans for the season.
I have a feeling that Pennant will have an excellent season for us this year along with Kenwyne. I certainly hope so as that will mean that Stoke City have a very decent season.

This signing is a puzzler, i'd rather drag up this thread than start a new one but i'd like to know just what on earth is going on here. Waste of money and a squad place.
Sure, you could say "That free-kick against West Ham could be worth more than you'd think" but seriously, this is a situation i'm very dischuffed about.
