We all know that the next few months are massive, as far as SCFC and premier league football are concerned. We've all had differences of opinion and there have been lots of debate on here and in the stadium - most of it reasonable. The slate has to be wiped clean and our differences put to one side.
Our next manager has to be given everyone's support, whether we agree with his appointment or not. If this is not the case, we're fucked and destined for the championship. I don't want to be relegated without one hell of a fight from the team and us.
Come on Stoke, let's fucking have this! We will play a huge part in the future of our club.

Absolutely! Twelfth man well and truly required now right until the end if the season! As long as we all like the new manager. Maybe someone will rock up in van saying "MON OUT" It has been known to happen .... |

Absolutely right! We WILL make the difference. The apathy weighed heavily. Change was the only way. Football in the Prem is,let's face it showbiz. Egos, money,feeling the love from the crowd. I bet we, the supporters ,can still do Bearpit. I bet we can still do fortress. They(yes, YOU players!) have to buy into it, dig in and deep and show us you care..or at least act like you do . It's sad to see people fail,(sorry Mark) however, we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down.. and get the feck out there and show we're not a bunch of feckless losers WE ARE STOKE! So, bring it feckin' on !!

I think there's a good chance we could see the return of the bear pit even if it's behind somebody like Megson for four months.
Everybody knows what's a stake and I'm sure we will unite behind the new man whoever it is.
If the new bloke is an instant failure, then I think ultimately, it will be the board that gets the stick at the end of the season, rather than the new manager.

I’m backing this new manager to the tilt. They need the fans and they also need to push the players not be their buddies. The board and Coates need to pay attention and no more “ fussing” about.

My worry is the rumours of 5 players who’ve asked for a transfer rather than supporters
They may carry on playing for us until the end of the season but, if their hearts are not in it it will poison team spirit

It’s going to be a difficult time for all concerned. |

If that is the criteria from the past 6 months we would have about 3 players left in the whole squad. Hughes has to take the brunt of this but those overpaid gutless jizzbuckets must take some of the blame. Regardless of how shit your manager is that shouldn't stop you giving 100% in your role. As for the transfer team , they need feeding to the pigs , pizza and all! H |

A new manager will come here and make his own mind up about who should start and sub accordingly. He won't be coming here to make friends, he'll be coming here with the sole intention of keeping us up. |

" With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause" Perhaps it is a little fanciful to quote Field Marshall Haig who nearly 100 years issued the above message to Allied forces as they crumbled under the force of the Kaiserschlacht the Spring Offensive of 1918 , but the need for the same resilence, stoicism and grit shown by those ancestors all those years ago is needed now.
The 46th North Midland Division which comprised of soldiers of the North Staffs Regiment which broke the Hindenburg line in Sept 1918 played a pivotal role in ending the war. I think we will need a great deal of resolve as they did to turn this around and that requires commitment from all at Stoke City

Took the last guy two seasons to get some sort of unity. Lots soon baled when the going started to get tough Indeed. I love the sheer hypocrisy of these threads, usually started by the most vocal of those against the departing manager. There will be no unity from me. The wrong man has been sacked and the target of the abuse was very much in the wrong direction. Unless I get the man I want in charge I want the new manager out before he's even arrived!  |

I said that these things are usually started by those who had been most vocal against the previous manager. I have no idea whether you are one such person because I can't say I've ever really noticed the way in which you post or your opinions to be fair. However, look at many of the reactions and similar posts and they are all from those who have spend a fair amount of time bitching and whinging about the bloke who has just left. It is the same today with Hughes as it was with Pulis before him. As I say, the sheer hypocrisy of it all is laughable. |

Haven’t seen any names but, the rumours of 5 wanting a transfer are on here somewhere. Like I originally said, they’re “rumours”, but the way we’re playing it’s obvious somethings not right behind the scenes. This is not all down to Hughes There may be 5 or even more who want to leave but I don't think there have been any transfer requests put in have there? We would surely have heard about as their agents would have broadcast it to alert potential buyers. I think that rumour was shown to be bollocks at the time but I might be mistaken. |

I really hope it is bollocks.....it kind of made sense at the time that there were /are players with that mindset at the moment ....so many whispers over the months I’m just assuming there’s something in it Fingers crossed the club and next manager sorts it |

We need to put everything in the past behind us now and really get behind whoever comes and the team.
Bring back the intimidating fortress they once called The Bearpit.
Let’s make any away teams trip to the Bet365, HELL👿👿.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the fans passion for the club, that was evident for sure yesterday.
No more Nice Stoke, it’s just not what we do.
We are Stoke City and we’re going nowhere
Come On Stoke.......
Come arrrrrrrrn

I absolutely get where you are coming from and agree with the sentiment. However there were a good few of us saying everyone should get behind Hughes regardless of whether we thought he was the right man for the job, Some who had made their minds up some time ago about Hughes got it (and credit for that) - but a number of the Hughes Out brigade were still far more concerned about projecting their own opinion than getting behind the team.
I'll get behind the next manager regardless (and the thought of some of those being talked about leave me cold) - but there will be a good number of the usual suspects who will either get on the new manager's back as soon as they are appointed or at the first available opportunity. The one good thing about the game yesterday was that they are clearly in the minority - which fortunately means the 12th man in the fight against relegation is alive and kicking.

The players know their part in Hughes sacking. Now is not the time to go pointing at individuals. The new manager and club will sort that but to just get behind the new man and the team. Looking ahead to utd it is going to be worse before it gets better

Said elsewhere and building in Dave’s point this cannot be the turning point ,, we need. To make sure the plan to sacrifice the patsy and throw the fans off the scent must not be allowed to succeed .
The relentless pursuit of the tru culprits needs to be ramped up now , it’s our chance while the smoke screen is down to chase the plague from our club , the “shock and awe blitz “on Cartwright and Scholes need to upgrade now ,
They will be passing their pants at supporters calling get for unity and blaming their patsy as they look for another cheap and desperate manager to step into the fall guy role .
