I think a lot of people are realising Ranieri was the face and Shakespeare was the brains..
Recent results back up that theory..

no , if a change is made , needs to be a younger coach who demands everything form his players in terms of fitness and is also familiar with talent in lower leagues that we can afford and improve , also one who will give youth a chance

Sent from my SM-G928F using proboards How many times do people need to be told? Howe LEFT Burnley because his family was home sick so he went back to Bournemouth, Jesus.

Do you honestly believe your source is more in the know at the club than Mark Hughes behave!!!!!! Don't understand your point The point is most manager's this happens to don't see it coming ask Gary Rowant when Zola took over at Brum. And you honestly think this would be made common knowledge around the club if he did go I would take a guess it would be a conversation amongst 2 people within the club and no more, we are not in a relegation battle so I don't think Coates as given it as a possibility, it is his 1st blip in over 3 years as being the manager in terms of where we finish, and Coates unlike a good amount of posters on here realise Stoke City's aspirations as much as I would like to see us become a top 6 club. Our record signings would have to treble the 18 million it is now to aspire be there and for me that is the next level people rave on about his football being dire but that is because we have become like a lot of other fans from other clubs spoilt in expecting it to become a breeze in this league.

Tony Scholes tell me this is nonsense. Terry Venables is however of great interest to the board.

No I meant Steve Bould I have no idea who Steve Boult is So you are picking up on a predict text and did not see the Arsenal coach bit so the Mr Wooden who sits next to Wenger is that who you are on about, does that help you to make it a bit clearer

We may as well just keep Hughes. I don't want Stoke to become a club that gets rid of their manager whenever things don't look good. Every manager has their weaknesses. In reality, it would help a lot more if we focussed more on being competent at defending (i.e. get another coach in or whatever they feel is needed). I'm happy with Hughes despite the fact that things don't look great at the moment.

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 . 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 I assume that everyone will sit down between now and a week after the season finishes to discuss what went wrong, what went well, opportunities for improvement and what are Hughes' plans to improve us. As part of those discussions there should be some tough questions posed to Hughes about lots of things -too many to mention on here. If satisfied with Hughes' answers then he gets to continue. If not we move on. If we choose to continue with Hughes then we have to back him in the transfer market. If we don't trust him enough to do this then we should let him go. He has finished 9th in 3 yrs. One bad year in four is not enough in my mind to sack him, even though I agree that he seems to have lost his way these last 12-18 months.

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 Strange that you didn't mention it at the time ... there doesn't appear to be any record of this in your posting history?

I'd take a premier league winning manager.
A winner with a team expecting to fight relegation too.
Probably the greatest achievement in the history of the game.
Yeah, I'd probably take a punt on that useless shithouse.
