The mood of so many? But its true, I cant believe theres a Stoke fan on this board who is happy with the management at the moment. It has been abysmal for 99% of the season, MH has to answer for that, the only issue I have with ever getting rid, is that there is not much out there to replace him with! (British managers anyway). We have been shocking for well over 18mths, and giving contracts to Johnson et al has tipped me over the edge (Bardsley i have no issue with - good backup), he has his favourites in much the same way as Pulis did. The first 2 yrs were a breath of fresh air, now its absolutely shocking, he has become almost Pulis-eque in some of his decisions. We have no pace and no actual plan/system, he still does not know his best formation/style and we only have 4 games left in the season? I believe there are many fans happy with the management read the posts several say they are. I have no idea how they can be happy? I cant wait for the season to end. It has been one long bore when I actually think about it. We are slow, ponderous and have even resorted to hoofball, whilst giving contract extensions to the likes of johnson (who has been shite the majority of the season), crouch i can understand as he is a diff option, the average age of our squad keeps going up, the crowning glory will be contract extensions for whelan and walters, that will really kill my pig! We talked about pulis and square pegs/round holes...but this is almost as bad? At least with pulis you knew what you would get each week (and good lord I dont want him back), with hughes.....he dunna even know his best side/formation. It is time for him to go and I never thought i'd say this after his first 2yrs. We need fresh ideas, some of the players he has bought in should be playing far better as a team, but they look like a sunday pub team at times (and that has been bloody too often).

It's about time some of the media realised WTF is going on I would rather our chairman realised it. I suspect he has.
