It will be a stay of execution. there is no fight in us anymore. I hate to be a negative poster, but recent performances have made me so.If we stay up by some miracle this year, will we invest? I think not.

Allen and Jack will be sold for big bucks if we do stay up and that does not leave us too much to play with. Shawcross is not getting any younger and there is literally a dozen players or so that we could not give away. It's not good and we are in a mess.
It's hard to fathom what goes on behind the scenes, we won't spend big bucks on a striker but will pay 18 million on an overweight centre-half who had played a handful of games in 3 years, there is something massively wrong at the club which at the moment is rotten from the top down

No matter what league we will be in, we have to try and keep Bauer, Badou and Indi. I also hope that when the inevitable happens and we are down, maybe Bojan and Imbula might shine in the championship for us.
Just hope that we put more effort into getting rid of Wimmer than we did trying get a striker in January.

Oh look, bayern's doing his daily 'Joe Allen is shit' attention-seeking routine again. I imagine what will happen is that many people will disagree with him and he'll keep replying and replying until everyone else gets bored. Thrilling. |

At the time I can see why the club didn't fork out for another striker after splashing 15m on Berahino 6 months before but purchasing another centre half instead of a midfielder was criminal! Thinking we can get through the season with Fletcher and Allen as our main natural centre midfielders with Cameron as the all rounder that he is also an option is unbelievable! Zouma, Shawcross and BMI were sufficient enough in my opinion! Oh yeah, where the fuck has BMI gone also? It was clearly evident that last season the full backs were god awful and were a massive area for improvement, amongst other things. We needed to sign players and add to the quantity of players in 3 areas, midfield, full back and centre half. Only 1 was addressed and we purchased more than we fucking needed! We lost the number of full backs and also midfield! |

Centre mid was another massive baffler, we desperately needed some energy and athleticism in there and we got Fletcher and just when we think that Hughes was the only man on the planet who saw him as the solution to a slow and ponderous midfield - up steps Lambert  |

Stay up or go down and the following have to leave; Peter Coates Tony Scholes Mark Cartwright Paul Lambert Glen Johnson Kurt Zouma That Greek bloke Joe Allen Darren Fletcher Ibrahim Afellay Charlie Adam Stephen Ireland Jese Saido Berahino All except Coates, Lambert and Joe Allen for me although we may have little say in the latter as he will be courted by bigger clubs. If we go down Lambert will be a decent manager with good pedigree for that league unless we fancy a stab at Rowett or that Bristol City manager whose name eludes me. As for Coates we all owe him eternal gratitude. It's the board and Cartwright who have little clue in how to spend his money. But make no mistake without Coates we wouldn't have had this Premier league experience, we wouldn't have been to an FA Cup final and subsequently Europe and I for one wouldn't swap those experiences for anything. As a championship club Stoke is hardly a great prospect for new rich investment is it? Coates should of had a reshuffle at the top a while ago but instead was misguided in trusting Scholes and co. ?But either way we would be in league 1 or 2 now without Coates. |
