Here is to Newcastle United winning on Monday (and yes Ive said what I think a lot of others would in all reality want to happen!) Im not happy saying it, but if its the only way forward then so be it. Be done & sack him by 6pm Monday. Happy New Year Makes no difference, LMH will still be manager even if Stoke lose. Nice to see "a fan" actually say what a lot of us suspect - they want to see Stoke lose.

Rule 1 support the team. Not defending MH, should have gone in the summer, however, we need 6 wins and a couple of draws. Despite how pissed off we all are, fans have been superb supporting the team, more of the same on Monday is a must.

You know, I'm more annoyed that I'm not surprised by that tweet. The club is a complete fucking shambles. Get out Hughes, and take that pencil necked cunt Scholes with you. And any of the other useless cunts he's assembled behind the scenes whilst you're there.

When Hughes first came to Stoke, I felt like we had a a chance against any team in the Prem, because we would always have a go at them. Now I feel that we are beaten before we even set foot on the pitch-we have arrived back to where we were in the early premiership days when the only objective was to keep the score down, "damage limitation". I've always been a strong supporter of Hughes, but if we're not going to compete in every game, he might as well go ASAP. I want to feel proud of the team even if they are beaten. I want to know that they competed even if they were not as good as their opponents. If we don't sign a TOP midfield player in January, we are down, and we will thoroughly deserve it. The management team and board will have let us down-they will have chosen to accept relegation rather than invest in the team.

And they both have the same motto ...bag the cash big time ,while the sun shines

Hughes is going nowhere for the foreseeable future. In the absence of having a replacement lined up it would be madness. We'll beat Newcastle in the next game and be lower mid table.

Does anyone else get kind of swept away with a Mark Hughes interview and then have to give your head a shake to bring you back down to earth and reality at how bad things are & how He really doesn't see it! He really does talk the talk & if you didn't know how bad things were,listening to Hughes would make you think everything was alright & going to be ok. He's either that deluded he's believing everything he's talking about or is in total shock at how bad things are he's trying to damage limitation things by papering over the cracks to save his job & reputation..

I don't want us to survive only to be served an even bigger slice of shit sandwich next season. We need to improve starting with the manager and then the squad. If the budget set by the owners is not enough to achieve that then we would be better off going to a level where we can compete as countless thrashings are soul destroying for the fans and the players. I have lost all hope of Coates making the changes needed or funding them. That in itself is fine by me .but for Gods sake Coates stop spouting the bullshit and just tell it like it is. If you don't want to spend any more money just bloody say so.

Stop and think about the effect on the players for a sec. Your manager tells you you are part of a weakened team. He says publicly he expects to lose. He says it doesn’t matter.
So if you are in that starting 11 you walk on the pitch knowing you are “second rate”, “expected to lose” and won’t be in the team next game.
WHAT KIND OF MANAGEMENT IS THAT?

This is exactly the reason Hughes has lost the plot. Carrying on like this will surely seriously hurt the likes of Tymon & Edwards. These heavy defeats must be hurting the seasoned professionals nevermind the youngsters he's blooding in these hiding to nothing games. Very poor leadership & its going to cost us.

Do days like today annoy you, when players and management seemingly throw in the towel right from the off? Especially when its not as if a lot of money hasn't been spent by the owners on the players that took the field.

-Stoke’s total of 20 points after 21 games is their worst-ever haul at this stage of a Premier League season -The Potters have registered a league-low two clean sheets in the top-flight this season; indeed, in Europe’s big five leagues, only Serie A strugglers Benevento have kept fewer (1) (Benevento have 4 pts from 19 games and have 1 win to their name)
Those two stats go hand-in-hand and, if fixed, will see us resume normal service.
Not sure getting rid of Sparky is the way. I reckon we need to recruit 1 or 2 coaches who specialise in defensive work and team shape off the ball.

I'd like to see Hughes replaced at the end of the season, i just don't see the point in sacking him now, theres no viable replacement and even if we brought someone in he'd probably get no more or less out of the current players than Hughes is getting now. lets just hope we can put a little run together and gather enough points to stay up, then there needs to be a total overhaul pre season. We were passed this "viable replacement" bollocks months ago. Swansea had no "viable replacement" but picked up 3 points today. This league is massively overrated and does not need to centre around all the usual suspect managers. Anyone, and i mean anyone, could do a better job than this fucking idiot in charge at the moment.

We might stay up as there are 3-7 teams that aren't much better than we are, but some of them are much better organised like Brighton to mention one. Anyway, if LMS is lucky enough to keep us up I really hope Peter Coates can see what we all can that we have come to a crossroads. I hope he can see our hopes are fading every day and that the days are gone when Hughes could bring optimism to the camp. We need a new man in charge, at least well in time before next season starts, so we at least can have some belief back for next season. This has been a dreadful season, and now even the pundits on Norwegian TV are taking about 'poor Stoke', which I really find humiliating! Not funny times at all!

I really can't be arsed to go into all of the reasons why he should be long gone by now.
But here's one, 46 goals in 21 games. And still in a job. It's beyond ridiculous.
We deserve all we get.

Hughes is never going be sacked after a loss to the big boys. Do people really think he'll be sacked after losing to Chelsea? Honestly?
It's a big loss but given the quality of them and the injuries we had it's just never going happen.
We're in a relegation battle. So it's the games like them on Monday which he'll be judged on. And they're the ones that will eventually cost him his job.

I believe that LMH took the only sensible course of action - with our defence shot through injury and Zouma ineligible, and a winnable game two days later.
Hopefully we will see more spirit in the Newcastle game.
