Fuck me pugs you've let yourself down here mate If Hughes left I'd love Rafa but to actively tell the chairman to go for him at Hughes expense is Shite You are better than this bollocks Why is it bollocks? There is a chance that a better manager with a record of winning trophies could make himself available. Why wouldn't a forward thinking club that is dripping money have a conversation with him? I put it out for debate, as usual people go radio fucking rental at the thought of doing something that might be against the grain. But we must remember our place we are little unfashionable Stoke City, we have not won anything of note since 1972, we finally have a shot at stamping our mark (no pun intended) on English football, we have the money thanks to the Coates family, we should grasp the nettle it might sting a bit but despite that we could maybe move to the fabled next level we have stagnated this season under Hughes, is it time we took a leap of faith ?

Take cups out of it, as winning a FA cup and going down would be a disaster (ask Wigan and Portsmouth) and appointing Benitez is utter madness. He's underachieved in the league almost every season since he left Valencia over a decade ago. And to be frank, winning a FA cup and Europa League title given the clubs he's been at in the 11 years since the Champions League title is hardly a guarantee he'll deliver a trophy at a club without the ability to sign players of the standard available to him previously. If you're going to get rid of a manager who's turned us into a club disapointed in having to win on the final day to guarantee a top half finish, then at least replace him with somebody who has a relatively recent history of improving things at the club he's appointed to. Like Pulis you mean

Bob Di Matteo is a Champions League winner too but no one is saying we should hire him are they?
Fact is if you manage some big clubs over 3 decades you are going to end up with a cup or two whether you want one or not.

Why not ? are you scared of what might be ? we might do a Leicester who knows. He's not as great a manager as some are making out so forgive me for not getting over excited. Ended badly at Liverpool and not done a great deal since, half decent at Napoli but that's about it...,

Maybe?????If I was Peter Coates I'd be on the phone to him and asking him what he thought about joining the Mighty Potters in the Summer. To be fair, if Mark left, he'd be an outstanding appointment and a reason to be really excited, which I think has been lost slightly with recent results. I do get the point about opportunity knocks which is reasonable in my opinion but I personally hope Mark stays on for the foreseeable

He'd do well at Stoke, similar circumstances - every fucker hates a new manager at Stoke.

Avram Grant was a penalty kick away from winning it he's available.....

Mark has shown a track record of year on year improvement which would have likely continued without bad injuries. Is that not reasonable reason to be cautious of a change in the personnel at the top?

Hughes has had a poor season, I'd give him next season to get his head straight but no one in untouchable nor should they be but I don't see how either Rafa or Moyes who some have also mentioned are anything other than regression to scared football starting games so pre occupied with not losing that there is too little focus on actually winning.

I'm more than happy with Hughes, but sometimes opportunity knocks. I actually advocated Hughes 5 years ago and guess what? Yep, got a shed load of clog.

Nothing about league position I think he's had a poor season despite the fact I'm a big advocate of his and have long been. His selections, formations and odd substitutions have been a window to his muddled thinking. He needs to show more consistency of thought, rotating players to suit the gameplan and opposition but this season the chopping and changing has been ridiculous and counter productive. How is a striker supposed to develop or maintain ant confidence when nobody's been given any sort of run of games before being swapped out? I just hope he can sign a forward he's willing to hang his hat on for the majority of games.

Whilst I can hardly disagree with what you have said old bean, its hardly been poor! 10th or trying to reach 40 points! You decide?
