For the love of fucking Christ can we stop this obsession with Jon Walters.
PLEASE.
The most bog standard of bog standard footballers to ever exist, he was utterly crap bar 6 months 8 years ago.
Yeah top scorer yada yada, he played about 3000 games so he should be, half of them were penalties, which he was dogshit at as well.

We've had suggestions over the years to give managerial or coaching roles to loads of our ex players. Just because people think they had the right attitude they want to keep the on as coaches or managers. Rory Delap and Mama spring to mind but there were definitely more. It's laughable. |

IF We go down, we have one season to return to the prem otherwise it could be years plus the risk of dropping into league 1 eg Sunderland. I cant wait another 18 or so years in the wilderness. Give Lambert 8 games next season then ACT stoke!

Tbf re Delap, it was more that he went into the youth set up and moved from there. Which is exactly what he's doing at Derby and he seems pretty good at it. |

But for all his failings he gave 100%, was effective when he was on the pitch, a good attitude for many seasons, and was never involved in a relegation scrap this serious. I suppose the bad eggs, unfit, overweight, couldn't care less Instagram Muppets,. Curfew breaking, disappearing players who grace our club this season are a far better option than a decent professional who actually gives a damn. |

Management whether in industry or the football world requires more than the possession of a good attitude I`m afraid.
I have never understood this idea that great footballers make great managers.
There are exceptions of course but your average footballer tends to be at the lower end of the richter scale for intelligence.
I remember Ralph O`Donnell, an ex-England Schoolboy coach telling me a story once about Vic Mobley, a big strapping centre half who used to play for Sheffield Wednesday. When Vic finished his playing career, he filled in an application form for a job and in the box headed `position held` put `centre half` !

Now we have so called quality and not alot of effort (last few games apart) And look at the mess we are in. As in life hard work and effort can get you along way. It can get you a long way. It got us into the Prem and established us in the Prem....BUT if you want to push forward, onwards and upwards and not stagnate and eventually get overtaken by everyone else, then you need a combination of BOTH. That is possible you know,plenty of Prem teams have a combination and a mix of both of those attributes i.e. the ones staying up. We need players with some quality who also work hard...it isn't and never has been a choice of just one or the other |

I don't think that's true either, Walters was a good player on his day and provided some moments of genuine quality as well. The fact that he was willing to always put maximum effort in was a credit to his character and rightly endeared him to many fans. Fair enough he had his fair share of poor games as well but for the level we were at who couldn't you say that about? He more than justified his place in our side I reckon. |

What a nice thing to say about a player who gave 110% every game he played for us These sort of posts highlights everything rotten about this message boadd He held us to ransom for a new contract in his latter years, and threw his toys out of the pram big style when he didn’t get one, and indeed when his place in the squad was rightfully taken from him by better players. This idea that he was this 100% Stoke loving legend is highly skewed, he was a very average footballer who was given a very charmed life thanks to us when he was rotting away in East Anglia, and parted from the club two years later than he probably should have done. I made this point in a thread the other day, that players who run around a lot and occasionally rile up a fullback or two but generally do sod all else are regarded as heroes in these parts, but genuine skill like Arnie, N’zonzi was frequently lambasted. Here’s some news a lot of people won’t like, the like of Walters, Whelan etc give just about as much of a shit about this club than Arnie, Shaqiri, Butland etc, but because they were limited and made up for this by running around like tasered twats, this was interpreted as having a deep-rooted love for the club. Every modern footballer, unless they were born in the city that their club is in, doesn’t give a shit about the team they play for as long as they pay them handsomely to do so. |

It was very few or far between given the game time he actually had. He should have been used from the bench a lot more than what he was. He was flogged and it's showing now in these last two seasons especially. |

There are too many of his sort on this message board. He said he was mainly crap and shit at penalties. Is that "vitriol"? Any more than these posts, say? He was left with a shit squad, half of which are expensive duds that are not playing. Hughes has fucked the club up big style just by the expensive garbage of expensive signings alone. Never seen such a pile of utter shite signings in a lifetime of supporting us. We're in this shite because of Cretins like you supporting Hughes despite his record of being a shite manager. Berahino is the worst signing I've ever seen in a Stoke shirt in 45 years of supporting and I've seen some shit. |

I’ve got visions of him scoring on the 22nd never mind being our manager Be a miracle if he is fit...it seems he gets one injury after another. One of the few negatives in a good season for Burnley. Played a couple of U23 games recently but he will be lucky to make the bench again this season. Bardsley has proved his worth well enough. |
