Just been chatting to brother in law whose a Blues fan & he says we're getting a very good manager & Blues fans were still gutted they sacked him.
He says Rowett will build solidly from the back but is more expansive than people give him credit for & certainly shouldn't be judged in the same mold as Pulis.
He says that we'll have one of the fittest teams in the league & that with cash he can see him being successful. He pointed out that Rowett had guided Blues to the Play Off positions under the Carson Yeung era & he managed to do that on a virtually non existent shoe string budget.
One player he does predict he'll try & bring in from B'ham as they're having a summer sell out is a defender called Jonathon Grounds, he was a big favourite of Rowetts whilst manager there apparently..
I'm quite happy if this appointment goes ahead as it appears it will. Rowett is a relatively young English manager whose always done ok at clubs with limited budgets. He has a stable back room team & given the backing from the board could be a master stroke appointment.
It is a risk yes, but it's a fresh start & a new era. When the alternatives are Mick McCarthy, Chris Coleman & the other merry go round regular names linked to available jobs it's a risk work taking. Rowett knows the Championship well so isn't going into the deep end like manager's like QSF & Graham Potter would of been.
The board will be slated by some fans for taking this risk, as it will those who would have preferred a more experienced old time manager. I think the board are going in the right direction on this appointment. Some fans who were calling out for the likes of Big Sam & Moyes need to realise we're a Championship team now & whilst our stock is still quite high, we're not in the same ball park with where these guys want to be now. The fact Stoke look like poaching a manager from a neighbouring well established Championship club is a signal to me that as a club we are making the right noises and our ambitions are clearly evident for Gary Rowett to up sticks. Infact I see this scenario as being similar to when Coates managed to pursuede a certain Lou Macari to join us from Birmingham City.. & we all know how that progressed!

Excellent appointment. Tactics are straight out of the Tony Pulis textbook. What is not to like? But but but...Marchy he turned us down once. Thought you were of the opinion that we should never go back if someone says no? Guess you have changed your mind I think if he had accepted our offer in January we would have had a united fan base and may have even stayed up. Now.. it seems a bit tainted. Let's all give him a big welcome and get behind the fella. At least it's not mad Mick.

Well said that man, would not have been my first choice, but head and shoulders above what we had and some of the other names linked. And could well be in it for the long haul and build a dynasty.

That is different to applying and changing your mind or even giving plenty of encouragement so that staff go half way across Europe to meet him.

Ok some on here are not happy but Rowetts a solid championship manager who will I feel give us a good chance. The club have acted quickly & we can't knock em for that. So now its time for us all to get behind the club , Rowett & the players to get us back where we belong.

Fantastic appointment. Young, ambitious, and seems very knowledgable. He tried show some loyalty to derby yet the club have basically told him your not having a penny to work with. Can’t blame him one bit for staying in jan especially as he would of pulled off a master stroke in getting them up on nothing. One thing for certain is that he will organise us, make us tough to beat and given funds he will hopefully be able to add that quality that will see us get back up.
In the words of waggy...... I’m excited!!!

it isnt over yet
I wanted him (Gary Rowett) in January but Rowett just used us to get an improved contract at Derby
So, there's a very deliberate hard nosed mercenary side to his character - that much is obvious
my take
if hes coming to Stoke its because he thinks we got lots more lovely 'moolah' than Derby has
and hes been promised a bigger warchest than the rams have got to offer
BUT
just wait until he realises its all going on Berahinio / Imbulla / And Wimmers wages
I'm a bit unsure of him right now but lets see what happens
and - finally, Remember George Burley - the whiskey drinking Scot who bailed out on the very eve of his appointment
and 'did a runner' last minute too - Steve Cotterill would've been proud of

I wondered what happened to George Burley so took a look on wiki.
He didn't last long in his most recent managerial post!
Apollon Limassol On 10 May 2012, Burley was appointed as manager of Cypriot side Apollon Limassol.[23] He was sacked after two games in charge.[24]

Most of that sounds great - not sure about Grounds, though, as a 30 year old left back will not really be at the top of our shopping list, unless Erik jumps ship (which he says he won't).

That would have revealed a far darker side to his character than turning us down. Plus it would have been sheer lunacy on his part to have joined us given the respective positions and apparent trajectory of the two clubs.

His initial introduction interview on StokeCity+ he says the right things and comes across genuine knowing the job in hand to build a team and how to regain the PL status. A new era begins and lets hope he is successful.
We have had one or two in the past say the good things but found wanting big time Quitteral and Boskamp in particular at least Rowett knows the division.

Listened to the interview.
Good communicator, strong emphasis on players being committed, love what he said about teamwork being most important and not individuality - straight out of the Ramsay and Clough ethos.
I hope he isn't deflected by those at the clubs trying to hide skeletons in the cupboard and hide their past mistakes, or persuaded to flog dead horses in the interests of trying to recoup the money wasted on past signings. In that respect we as fans can help him by constantly flagging up the past errors and who should be got rid of. We need to get the media asking awkward questions.
I wish him the best of luck.

It seems to me the reason he stayed at Derby in January is that he doesn't make stupid decisions. We've made to many stupid decisions over the last 12 months or so. Rowett is an excellent choice of manager.

He’s use to working with not much money , that’s why we’ve had him in , we’ve gone from having a massive payday off sky to having parachute payments , and the cost of running stoke as a club is a massive financial outlay is

Here's our manager now so he'll get my total support and I'm really looking forward to the new season with great hope rather than the complete dread and disillusionment after relegation with Lambert in charge.
He's given the (majority of) the fans, and the club as a whole, a real lift.
Looking forward to seeing which new signings we bring in now !
Gary, Welcome to Stoke City - do us proud and we'll be with you all the way !

The club obviously see Rowett as Pulis mark 2. Pragmatic, straight talking, motivator, fitness a priority etc etc.
Let's hope he has similar success without dividing the fans and sending glass eyes to sleep with his football.

Brewers fan here. (Borrowing a mate's log on if You're wondering)
You've got a good man in Gary Rowett. When he took over from Pesch we were nosediving towards non league. His first games he took a few batterings but steadied the ship and kept us up.
The following season he brought in a few players to work with most of the previous squad and took us to the play off semis - beaten by Bradford who had Nakhi Wells on fire. Next season beaten at Wembley but he had made the side solid, building from the back, strong midfield and liked to use width. He then brought in better players who not only helped win L2 but remained the core of the team that got us to the Championship.
Although Jimmy Floyd and Nigel Clough were the managers to take us up it was almost Gary Rowett's players that got us there - including Lucas Akins who was his only cash buy and was still our record transfer fee of £20k when we got to the Championship. So he is a manager who has an eye for players who not only are good enough for the present but who will be able to make the step up.
On the touchline he can be animated and wasn't afraid to walk on and have a word with the ref at the end if he felt decisions went against him. He was a casual dresser rather than a tracksuit man and don't be put off at the sight of an occasional Gillet! He's not as bad as Garry Monk!!
He comes across very well in press interviews and doesn't hide after a bad game, very forthright with his opinions. He's also very good with the fans and finds time to talk to fans.
I think the players will take to him no problem and he will sort out the bad apples very quickly.
Give him time and I'm sure he will lead you back to the Premier League.

Managers (even Championship managers) earn £millions these days and they and their legal team are well capable of asking questions of their potential employer about how problems like these three players are to be dealt with. No doubt he will have been given answers to those questions which will have satisfied him. The problem (if there is a problem) will be if the club reneges on any promises it has made to control or mitigate the situation.
