What Peter Coates should do is to threaten to bring back Pulis, then some clever dick can create a poll on here and Twitter and lets see if 72% want Hughes gone then.

And just for Geoff..... A whopping 5% of voters are willing to give him more than 4 games. 72% want him gone now. Pisser, Twitter has spoken. Tallies with the one on here and would be there or there about with what you'd find in real life.

We won't find a perfect manager. He'd do well here for a few seasons He’s not even close to being a perfect manager. Everywhere he goes he starts well and then dramatically tails off quite quickly thereafter. His organisational skills are even worse than Hughes’. I don't agree. He has a very tough job at west ham. Far more difficult than here. If they give him all season they will be mid table or thereabouts. But they won't and they'll sack him. Every single manager tails off now. He'd be good for a few seasons here. So would Dyche, Allardyce. I think there are plenty of good managers we could get

And Bilic has been doing that all his career. Expectations are (unfathomably) higher at West Ham but he’s bought poorly and been tactically dreadful for over a year now.

I know I'm in a serious minority but I'd give him the next 4 games to turn it around. Think the man deserves that. I'm with you on that, in practice I think he will get even longer than that, up to the end of the calendar year.

I see Pellegrino has said he will only take a Premier League job if the club is in Europe. Thomas Tuchel has now said something similar. Champions league clubs only for him.

He needs to go right now. Even if we beat Watford it's not going to mean anything. Papering over cracks. TIME TO GO.

Still keeping patience and although there's been three or four sub par performances on the spin, still holding on to my positivity after the Arsenal and Man U matches and the first month or so of proceedings. Can see and willing to accept mitigations regarding this current mini slide, not least the fact that Bournemouth are an abomination on the face of football. Etc etc.
Sticking puts me in a sticky situation though, ultimately want what's best for the Club and the matchday 'feel' , crowd harmony is a massive part of that. If the crowd are turning on Hughes then I'll resign mesen to it. Not convinced it's that bad yet, more moans at the performance/execution than manager/intention. Loads of positivity re the starting XI etc.
Hughes has been the architect of a massive change in the football and perception here, perhaps the victim of his own success in the early progress but I'm behind him as a good (as good as it gets) fit. Doing it on a shoestring.
Not beyond criticism and not perfect.
Would have liked to have kept Wollscheid to cover Ryan's absences and liked Imbula to have fulfilled his early promise. And even Saido to score. Or better replacements in all areas. Oviously. It's football.
Hughes stays.

Just realized how obvious the answer is. After two four Welshmen we need a larger than life character to inject some verve into the club.
Step forward Johann Boskamp.

Wagner, well it's early days and just where Huddersfield will finish this season is still to be decided.

The only Stoke fans I have heard who don't want TP back post on here. Every single fan I speak to wants him back and wants him back quickly. Firstly you must talk to some strange people. People I know had a party when he left. I suppose an element of our fans enjoyed being a dirty rugby team that relied on shirt pulling and long throws. Secondly, and this goes for all things Pulis related. What in Gods green earth makes you think Pulis would want to come back here? He's doing fine at WBA. I can't think of anyone except possibly Koeman who would want to take the job of the lowest spending club in the league with fans who seriously think we have England class players and expect Champions League and Cups. The only reason Koeman might want it is to prove a point and that goes for any other established manager as it did with Mark Hughes who has tried to repair a damaged career. The only other sort of manager that would take us on is an up and coming one, or a new manager like Giggs. One thing is for certain with Coates it will be the cheapest option and at the moment that is sticking with Hughes. Money rules Coates life, hard hitting business decisions not piss it up the wall on a flowery shirt guy or woman for that matter. We have done miracles to stay in this league buying players who no one except for Google has heard of or those ready for semi retirement. Every time we buy a player we have to post a video link so the fans can see who he is. If that is not true then tell me, Who are we targeting in the summer for a striker? Which well known prolific player in his prime is he? Some French kid from a league that has no resemblance to ours, or some injury prone flop looking to rebuild is what we look at. I accept this , it's where we are but when Peter Coates starts on about the best squad we've ever had .....well I'll have a pint of what he's drinking... No I don't fully blame Hughes he's done well but now it seems he's run out of ideas and favours people owe him to get us good players. Time for change, time to get back to being a solid mid table team with a solid formation that suits our squad instead of copying every fashion trend out there that only works with top class players.

If Hughes does go I hope we don't go down the Leicester route. Sacking Shakespeare and then appointing Puel is hardly inspiring. Saints fans couldn't wait for him to go. Let's hope we would go for someone who is a step up and not sideways or backwards. He's a miserable fucker as well.

He's dismantled it and has no spare parts Although he did well initially u just think he's gone stale and needs replacing pronto

Play nicely boys. The current climate at the club is making everyone arsey. We need a resolution very soon. Would be nice if this board was a pleasant place for a change.

Hughes has been tasked with trimming the squad to allow for promotion of some youth, all within that 'self sufficiency model', risky business at the very top level. Don't agree with ineptitude at all. I fear as much as owt that a change will be towards the more attritional/conservative football. Xmas at the earliest for me. If Hughes goes then I suspect the whole back room and Hodges {?} will go too. No obvious caretaker, huge clearout, it'd cast us into chaos doing it mid season, though it might be a laugh! I'm still a sticker, not enjoying the mood on here.

Hughes has spent over the top. Wimmer waste money imbula 2. That's 38 million waste more money than pulis. Pulis never spent 40 million on 2 players I no pulis never made no profit only on bego nzonzi butland is a pulis signing
