From the same source that gave word of the Bojan loan to Mainz a few days before it broke, apparently the board have already sounded out Claudio Ranieri about taking over in the summer.
Make of it what you will, he achieved a miracle at Leicester last season but whilst I want Mark Hughes gone in the summer, Ranieri would not be my choice.
We need a younger, up and coming manager who is adapting and learning the modern game. The likes of Rowett, Jokanovic, Silva, Wagner, Marcelino etc

Apart from Leicester last year, his recent history has been fairly disastrous .

I'd take him for the fact that it would prove Coates would go foreign.

I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned before, it's not Ranieri we want, but Huth...

Rainier (bless him) is a very likeable man
However I have no confidence in him as a manager.....similar to Hughes in that respect
Personally I would be very worried for Stoke city if he's the best option

Ranieri did a brilliant job fronting a side developed by Pearson and Shakespear - as soon as he started to get more hands on things went horribly wrong. I'd rather Hughes was given the chance to get us back on track - but even if I wanted a change in manager this would give me nightmares.

Please no. Ranieri got lucky with Leicester and a team that was already on the up. Almost certainly lead to relegation. Yes we need a change in the summer but not this one, assuming it is of course not just a bollocks story.

Hughes has had the air of a man who knows his time is up so yes it wouldn't surprise me if he knew. Raneri would only make sense if a younger no 2 worked alongside him with the intention to step up in time..

Why not back Hughes and give him a few games next season to turn round the team If you think of all the injuries we have had this year to key players that have disrupted the team and players coming back from big injuries that have not shown any form what so ever, before getting injured again, he has had a limited options at times.
We have class players and when they are fit we have a class team add a few new young faces next year and we will fly. we have the makings of a good team and changing the manager is not the answer.
He attracts players and has good links with other clubs ie Barcelona etc and that's why we get there ex players etc .

Hughes needs to go at the end of the season but I don't want Ranieri to replace him.

Because we are deteriorating under Hughes and he has had plenty time to turn it around. Also, he has a history of poor preparation in the Summer which, in turn leads to abysmal starts to the season. Absolutely not. |

I've heard from a good source he isn't a fan of Ranieri.
He is a big admirer of the current Hull manager...and Nigel Pearson!
Make of that what you will...

Maybe we are looking at what is available BEFORE deciding on Hughes.
I know its a bit impolite to do so but Coates is a businessman. I would prefer he was "sounding out" Brendan Rodgers at Celtic but that would have to be very hush hush indeed.
At the end of the day Ranieiri is available and of course he would come to Stoke. Dont really see the need of sounding him out.
Im sure the board are putting together a shortlist of potential replacements before making any decision

Can't believe all this negativity towards Ranieri. Probably how Leicester reacted when they got news he was going there!
The sensible option is to back Hughes and keep him here next season. Unless he is thinking of retiring, he will be determined to make ammends for this poor (but by no means disasterous) season and will have something to prove into the bargain.

Wagner would be my choice every single day, but I think 'uddersfield will get promoted and he won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

If he hasn't turned it around by the final game of the season he has to go the next day You can't give millions in transfer funds to a bloke who doesn't know how he wants his own team to play Just wouldn't work He will just come up with mad ideas like signing Joe Allen ( who wants to press the ball) and imbula ( who doesn't) for the same midfield. That's mad, either everyone is pressing or every one is dropping off . You can't have one player doing one thing and his team mate doing the other. Just never going to work |
