Heartbroken.
This is worse than a break up.
Coates out and new management before the new season. Completely fucked us.

No chance. Without him we'd be in league 1.

Coates has done great things for our club and city.
These last couple of years, he's failed to ensure Scholes and the recruitment staff do their job.
He failed to ensure Mark Hughes avoided complacency.
He failed to sack Hughes in the summer when he needed to go.
He failed to give our number one management choice the money he was after.
He then failed to appoint a manager good enough to keep us up.
As a result, it is fair to ask for his removal. He has torn apart all that he has built up, and all the rivers of failure, be it Scholes penny pinching or Hughes' prolonged tenure, Coates is the source.

Get everyone who even works for the club out! You suggesting we close the club? Been there done that, it’s much worse than relegation! Thank you Peter Coates, without whom we’d be a struggling League 1 side that most of the world has never heard of. |

Stop re-writing history. |

'Show some darned respect'?! Where was Coates' respect? "I dont know what all the fuss is about" When we could all see Stoke were plummeting towards the Championship, and showing genuine concern for the club. And what did Coates do? respond with utter contempt for the fans, the arrogance to merely brush off reasonable fans concerns. I question his worthiness of respect. Irrelevant of what he's done in the past, his utter failure these last couple of years & disdain shown to the fans leaves him wide open to criticism. |

Peter Coates has been clueless the last two seasons, but I think he genuinely cares about the club and the city. Which may not be true of the next guy.

Coates should have pulled the plug and vetoed berahino imbula Jesé etc. Spineless and gutless. |

Seen all this before...it is entirely the Coates family's fault.Penny pinching, leading to poor managerial appointments and a laughable squad.However, he knows we will all be back and the family have 3 years worth of parachute payments to pocket.If anyone thinks they will chuck money at a swift return to the top table they are deluded.😠

The only way the Coates family can move on is if someone with more financial clout than them buys them out. That's not happening. Anyway, he (Coates) has been the problem but he must dig a bit deeper these next 4 months to pull it back.

Burnley are in 7th and Brighton are safe having spent much less. The money has been spent. It's just been spent on shit players. |

Thanks for the stadium.
Thanks for your funny look.
U18s, U23s plus the Stoke Ladies and the Stoke Ladies reserve team have got some good results - thanks for that.
Needed now:
New manager
New personnel
At least 10 new players

It's Coates train set so he has the right to smash it up. We don't have any say in it sadly.

yes Coates should have pulled the plug on Hughes a year ago
BUt he didn't ............... Surprising for an astute business manager worth multi-millions
Meanwhile he's sanctioned 51 millions worth of failure and our 3 most expensive signings are our worst EVER
If he still wants to be here after the mistake he made in letting Hughes stay too long just be grateful and be nice to the Dude, he is our present and our future and although he may have made a massive mistake being hoodwinked by that slimeball Sparky he deserves our gratitude and our respect

Whatever the board's mistakes this season (hindsight is not a wonderful thing) I think they will be a strength next season, and that includes Peter Coates. Not that I know enough about other relegation candidates in comparison but I think we've been unfortunate in many ways, but even so - at the end of it all I can't say Stoke deserved to stay up.

Used to think having a local owner was a massive positive but on reflection the parochial, insular small town mentality is actually holding us back - I was always against "foreign" ownership but now I see that the lack of objectivity and rose tinted "it'll be alright" mentality is no way to run a club - so happy for Coates and his mob to move on if that's what it takes. This season outcome was totally avoidable and most of the gambles knew what was needed but he dug himself into a "what's all the fuss about" hole and we are now suffering the consequences If somebody approaches the Coates family with an offer for the club and the offer is from people who are prepared to invest a significant amount of money, then I think the Coates family should do the honourable thing and let someone else have a go. |

Coates out???? Don’t talk fcuking rubbish, he’s got us ten years in the premiership, given us free travel to away games and improved the club no end.
The board should be sacked, he pays them to make the decisions and relies on their judgement, that’s what he pays them for.....
Poor decisions & poor judgement = the sack

Coates NOT out. He’s been guilty of having too much faith and loyalty in incompetents, nothing more. I feel sorry for him, and he will be as gutted as the rest of us.

If he doesn’t sack Lambert, Scholes and Cartwright next week then he should step down himself and look for other investors it’s clear Bet365 aren’t interested any more
