If MH got the chop My list would be Brendan Rodgers Sean Dyche Marco Silva Rafa Benitez Ronald Koeman That wolves manager I don't think any of these managers would be interested in taking over from Mark Hughes if he left. Koeman might. The rest have nothing to gain by leaving their current role - Rodgers would see it as a step back, and at best for Dyche/Silva/Rafa it's a sideways move (I can't imagine it would benefit them financially either - we're hardly 'next level' compared to their current clubs).

As a supporters fanzine ours has to be one of the worst for shouting up our team In my 50 years of going to games i have always known the stoke fans to be up there with the most fickle 2 home games coming up Come on you rip roaring fucking potters I hope the players and staff ignore the bile on most of the threads now I have no problem with critical and constructive and humurous analysis but cannot understand the absolute bollocks that comes from some accounts on here At best we are a mid table club and have never been any more than that even when there was a level playing field I still see every year we spend in the premier as a bonus as i would if i was a fan of all bar: Manchester city and utd Arsenal Tottenham Liverpool Everton i would see these as a bigger and more affluent club under performing All the other 14 clubs are interchangeable when it comes to position and for all those who think we should be any different are frankly delusional and for me as bad as the glory hunters who crave success But it is an opinion and just like my arse we all have one Yeah lets all be happy about our 1 win since August.

The most viable option is Ronald Koeman
I also like Quique Sanchez Flores - he has a point to prove in Egnlish football and thought he was treated rather unfairly by Watford

I would go for a man who was a tremendous player. He is an ex England player of high reputation. A man who has managed at International level. I believe he would do an excellent job. Glen Hoddle?

Gary Rowett for me. Young, English and has worked his way up the leagues fast. Did excellent at Burton and jumped to the championship and turned a relegation worried Birmingham into midtable and got sacked for fuck all, and doing great at derby who are flying high in the championship. Signing him up Coatesy.

I think it's clear that most who want Hughes gone want him sacked as punishment for our stagnation, but that there isn't a clear way for us to move forwards afterwards.

'stagnation' is a generous description of our current situation. 6 wins in the last 30 games may not be meltdown but its much worse than simply treading water. I do agree though, there is no clear way forward.

The clear way forward was a total clear out in the summer when there was better options and time.
Hughes should have been sacked once we were safe, as should Cartwright and Scholes.
Haugaard, Wolly, Johnson, Bardsley, Whelan, Afellay, Adam, Ireland, Bojan, Walters and Joselu all needed to be sold or let go.
We needed 2 full backs, 3 central midfielders and lots of pace.
Instead none of the senior management went.
5 of those players still remain and do absolutely fuck all for us.
And we signed no full backs and a Grandad for central midfield and no pace.
Can enough change now?

An absolutely quality shout. Could we match the salary he's on now though? Even I like the sound of this guy. His philosophy is his team will be shooting at goal within 7 seconds of gaining possession. He also believes in pressing, aggressive football. He is like TP on steroids. Is he not the manager who refused to be sent to the stands and the ref had to abandon the game. He would suit us down to the ground. When can he start?

That would be bonkers. Entertaining. Bonkers entertaining. Entertaining bonkers. " He uses a base formation of 4-2-2-2 on paper. The two central midfielders sit deep protecting the back four while the front four are often quite narrow. His teams set lots of traps and covet horizontal compactness which pushes teams out onto the flanks. Schmidt would see his team tire in a different way. They would often tire late in games and would always have a lull in the season. It would not necessarily be at the end of the season but they would always go through a patchy spell. Perhaps the biggest issue for Schmidt was his reluctance to change. This could be seen with defeats in his final month to Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund which both seemed to go the same way as initial lines of resistance were easily punctured. Teams that were quick and incisive could isolate the centre backs. This was part of the reason that they concede a lot of good shots. They have also conceded a large amount of goals from set pieces. Rudi Voller spoke of his commitment to his philosophy by saying “he is convinced of his concept and can get a bit angry if somebody questions it.” On the sidelines he is aloof and cantankerous. Watching his sides play can also be a weird experience. It is a different type of football which often seems like just watching lots of chasing while odder tactics include giving the ball away in certain areas. When it is going well you can ignore all the negatives, when the results go the wrong way you start to feel he is just not worth the trouble." May we live in interesting times.

Chris Wilder for me, he demands work rate from all of his players, give him a crack before he gets Sheffield promotion

An absolutely quality shout. Could we match the salary he's on now though? Probably not. I saw a German journo on Twitter a while back say that he wants to return to managing in Europe. Wish I could find the tweet! He was the first manager to bloody the nose of Pep Guardiola, albeit in a friendly, when he was with Red Bull Salzburg.

I assume this is tongue in cheek. Great players are rarely good managers, probably because the game came so easily to them and they don't know how to teach it to others. Johan Cruyff was one exception that proves the rule, but he had a very simple philosophy: attack with 10, defend with 10.

I shudda to think how much we're paying players that aren't even making the match day squad and yet we seemingly want to keep a tight rein on the wages of the manager.

Koeman for me.
Organised his teams very well at Southampton. Also signed some great players such as Mane, VVD etc.
Would also give the youth a chance, Ngoy, Verlinded etc. But i cant see past Coates going British and probably big Sam.

Really don’t understand the logic of some on here? How can you possibly put Koeman forward as a replacement after he has spent a fortune at Everton and they are so bad that even getting rid of him has no effect. I would rather stick with the man we have, the only two I would consider is Allardyce and Benitez and neither would come here anyway! Spot on.
