It'll get taken down pretty sharpish if its put up at a home game.

Feels like we are over a barrel. Don't see a queue of other billionaires wanting to snap us up so not sure we want to drive the family away.

If that gets unveiled I can see it all getting “ a bit tasty “ amongst the Stoke support ..so it should. Listen, the club have made huge mistakes and yes plural, mistakes, but the owner doesn't deserve a public humiliation like that. It's not on. At the end of the day he has been generally a very good owner for us second time round and always supported his managers, probably too much. It's time for him to move on and pass the mantle on to someone else and we should trust that he will do it and do it in the right time frame. He should go with a good reception when he does. |

Disrespectful, uncalled for.
We really do have some cry baby fans. Football is football, you have highs and lows, promotions and relegations. It’s the nature of the beast.
Our chairman has given us a great decade of supporting Stoke and deserves more respect. Big mistakes have been made and the board will be well aware of that. The club is forking out 100’s of thousands a week on wasters who they paid millions for. They don’t need their noses rubbing in it. Coates might have made mistakes but it was only with our best intentions at heart. Despite mistakes being made, I wouldn’t change our owners for anyone.

As much as mistakes have been made this season surely nobody in their right mind would want another owner. For every sheik mansour there is are 3 or 4 ellis shorts.
Surely very much a case of "be careful what you wish for" in terms of ownership?
Is misplaced loyalty really a hanging offence?

The Coates/BET365 have to stay - the alternatives for a club our size are not really preferable. I would hope that the CEO and Technical Director get the boot, and maybe it is time for Jonny to take over from the old man as Chairman, but we need the family at the helm maybe more than ever as we drop down a division.

I protested against Coates years ago but not this time.
Honest mistakes have been made with recruitment and backing the manager.
We need to back the owners as I'm certain they want a quick return

Mistakes have been made & things need to change but give me local ownership over every other scenario every time, i for one am very proud to have a guy who actually is supporter of my wonderful if infuriating football club.
No need for the banner in my opinion, he deserves every chance to do better & as davejohnno says just above, a lot of our issues have arisen from too much loyalty, there very same loyalty which i do not mind admitting has bought a tear to my eye at certain points in the last few years, the Delap broken leg for example.
Post-mortem by all means, witch hunt not necessary.

If it gets unveiled I can certainly see it getting nasty amongst the support in the same way any terrace revolt against the Coates family It’s unbelievable if I’m being honest |

This relegation is down to the board. It could have all been avoidable.
Who needs a striker anyway?

It's true, but I can't imagine being weird enough to spend money on something like that.
Not my sort of thing for a chairman who's made mistakes but generally has given us 7/10 incredible years.
He's made one mistake, not sacking Hughes in July. Maybe 2 if you include Lambert. That's not worth something like that.

Until anything like that happens the old man needs to step down and give his son a chance. At least there may be a bit more imagination used when it comes to managerial appointments. |

Is the idea to embarrass Coates at how wrong he was in December or to illustrate to Denise how right she was all along? Or both?

I would think that Peter is hurting as much (maybe even more with a huge wedge of cash gone down the shitter) than anyone on here. I'm angry at the current situation but a few off the cuff supporting his manager comments made to a two bit local rag, when trying to keep things stable is hardly worthy of public disrespect.
Personally I would hold off for 12 months before looking at forcing a change in ownership. Mistakes have been make and I am sure as shit that behind closed doors everyone is aware of that and is working hard to rectify it. You honestly want to bring more negative press on a family that have done more for this club in the last century than anyone else? Have a bit of decorum, we are talking about a club that honoured rory delaps contract, stood by their managers (perhaps too long but it's admirable all the same) and pioneered the free away travel, openly sought reciprocal away ticket prices and frozen season tickets for over a decade. Give your head a wobble, the banner should say something like "We are gutted, but we are stoke, loyal and around and we will be with you every step of the way"
I would focus your anger at the cunts that have let this great club down and they are all on big fat contracts.

Coates is the main reason we're in this mess. Respectfully I disagree. I think he HAS made mistakes, huge mistakes, however I feel that he has been let down by others both with influence and playing staff alike. Disasters happen all the time in organisations, it's usually a collective error of judgement. My personal belief is that our wonderful CEO is more implicated in this mess than the Coates family. For me they have enough credit in the bank to let them have some slack to rectify the situation. At the end of the day a lot of individual errors on the field of play have cost us big time, along with the current and previous management teams. |

He was the one who should have made the decison last May. That decision is the one that ultimately sank the ship. Plenty are to blame but the boards arrogance shouldn't go unmentioned. They took us for fools. |
