Have to say that all the signs are positive - the management team have been professional, with a welcome change in training tactics that has seen appositive response from the players.
Good signings thus far.
Us Stokies do like to have regular feedback from the Assistant Mgr, Coach - and the Manager. If that happens, and we play good tempo with some more goals - you will get an Oatcake delivery!!
Oh, and finally, we moan hard but also, very definitely, praise hard.
Welcome and good luck.

Dear Mark, All SCFC supporters unanimously agree on the following;
The only worthwhile tactics are 4-4-1-1
Make sure any new defenders can launch the ball 70 yards up the field.
Don't worry about any of that attacking nonsense - defending is all that matters.
Away games are just bonus fixtures
Mama Sidibe is the best player in the world
Viva la revolution! march

I want us to play with style and flair, except against Arsenal, where I want us to continue to kick them off the park.

Mark, Is it true that Sparky once strangled a bear to death with his legs? Also, what are your favorite crisps? Thanks

Morning Mark. Two points - Number one, can we play aggressive attacking football at a high tempo and inspire the loudest fans in the country. Number two, can we sign a number ten with ideally a four or five syllable name otherwise the song won't work.

The more I think about this, the more i'm thinking our new management team are a bit "brittle" in terms of self confidence in their own ability. They seem to be seeking some kind of reassurance through their statements they make in the press and their actions.
Kind of understandable, but a bit worrying. If i'm reading it right...

You could well be right, I see it as recovering from a negative start, a lot of supporters didn't want Hughes and the QPR effect. Also I'm sure they will have been told that support was waning last season with poor season ticket renewals and a fair number of ST holders not taking the seats at some of the home games. Together with the free away transport it seems like a concerted effort to get a good atmosphere by winning over supporters. As you point out however, there may well be a drop in confidence arising from QPR, either way so far so good.

Welcome to Stoke, MH has my full backing there is no doubt he's a good manager & this new management team is a big breath of fresh air. Loving the honest in depth updates on the goings on inside the squad and genuine thoughts of certain players, we havn't had this for years.
Loving the transfer business so far, oh and apparantly Flo Cuvelier is an interesting player

Hiya Mark Well the Rate Hughes v thread returns at the start of the season... meantime I'm encouraged by what I'm hearing so far but I'd love to see just one signing who can break a team open, CM, wing, a really creative striker, don't care which.... xxx ps what's your user name?

Can't believe you haven't offered free flights to us Stateside supporters, Mark, very poor start.
On the other hand, please don't listen to us.
