Our most successful manager ever is Tony Pulis. He know the club. If friend of Mr Coates. Most fans actually love him. Iff Middlesbrough don't go up through play-offs he's our man.

Certainly my choice. Moyes and Stoke, given time, is a good fit

I used to like Moyes but I can't get away from his role on the football merry go round and I don't like that. He's just meh but then all of them on that merry go round are.

Interesting idea. I don't know much about him, but I like the outside-the-box thinking. No one has an opinion on my earlier mention of Rory Delap? He's moving up the ranks in the Derby academy and, crucially, genuinely loves and cares about Stoke and the club's future.

Paul Cook for me. He's a good mate of mine and I'd get a few perks. Apart from that,he's a cracking manager who is respected by players. Done well at Wigan too.

Who'd be your clear no.1 choice? I think they've got to go with QSF haven't they? Depends what relations are like between the board and him. Would imagine they are not great at all after he left us at the altar in the manner he did And the project is nowhere near as attractive to him either.

Although re-reading Balague's interpretation of the 'project', maybe it could be resurrected if he was the man they were prepared to give the keys to for a real push? www.offtheball.com/listen_back/10/41847/11th_January_2018_-_Off_The_Ball_Part_3/"He was impressed by what they had to say. It's a 5-year deal - and there's a lot of money available now. That probably explains why Mark Hughes wasn't getting many answers about reinforcements in the last few months" "Clearly they wanted somebody else in charge" "Stoke have come in with a project that's very exciting and it will be very difficult to say no - and Stoke are very hopeful he will say 'yes' "Quique was pretty impressed with what he was hearing. It's quite clear that if you look at what Stoke have done in the market in recent times under Hughes - I think there've been maybe 66 new players- but a lot of it had to be done....cleverly, using the little money that was available, and of course there was the wages that they couldn't compete with" "But it seems they were waiting for this kind of thing, for a new impulse - for somebody with new ideas - and this new project is perhaps one of the most ambitious projects that's ever been put in Quique's hands" "Quite clearly if you're trying to convince someone like Flores, you'd better be good and put something good on the table. And the offer from Stoke is five years, and of course there's a financial link to it too. And all of this makes it so attractive" "Even if it's not in the Premier League and he doesn't manage to turn things around for Stoke, the money that's available should mean that Stoke, under the stewardship of someone like him, should go back to being, either next season or soon, a regular Premier League team"

If you believed him to be "the man" and were willing to back him to the hilt then I think you put that aside and get over yourself tbh.

But, then again, there are reports that we wanted Moyes in October - 7 weeks before even the 'what's the fuss about?' comments...

If we have to pay for him (West Ham might play silly buggers knowing we want him) then I don't think it will happen. But if they sack him then I think he comes in play and I think he'd gladly join.

We'd be one of the most attractive jobs in the country this summer. We've really got to stop talking ourselves down Stoke on Trent in general mate

I've always said that Stoke (the city and club) are at their best when being distinctly average. It might not make sense at first but I have the belief that you can find a level and maintain it, we've done it for years in fact.

Seems to be 4 candidates getting the bulk of support, with Cook and Silva just behind.
But suppose Moyes could yet be the joker in the pack?
Potter 116 Jokanovic 99 Allardyce 93 Sanchez Flores 90
Cook 63 Silva 51
Pulis 25 Lampard 21 Smith 18
Pearson 15 Bilic 14 Cowley 11
Johnson 9 Bould 9 Vieira 9
McCarthy 8 McInnes 2

Get the money to keep us up B. Get the money to genuinely push for Europe As it turned out, none of these things happened, because the fucker stayed at Espanyol. If bridges haven't been completely burned, just fucking get him in. Resurrect this 'project'. I don't want Coates to be a stubborn old bastard and just want him to overlook what happened with Qique and get him. I cannot stomach Paul Lambert for a season of Championship football, I just want a change of the usual British merry-go-round manager.

I really can't see QSF being interested in dropping into the Championship and in any case I can't see the Coates family going back to him. Sadly I think the Jokanovic ship has sailed now. I expect him to be managing in the PL next season regardless of whether Fulham go up. I don't see 'Big Sam' as an option either. His wage demands will give Peter Coates a nose bleed. Marco Silva won't drop down a level. If Moyes becomes available then he will probably be the favourite, otherwise I think it will be one of Pearson, Appleton, Warburton, Coleman, McLaren, Bilic or Potter. This is assuming that Lambert is not kept on.

Interesting to see if relations with him are still civil. If they are, got to be some kind of chance of it happening this time Same here. It filled with me a lot of optimism, and with what was going on at the time, that was a nice change. I do think 'what could have been' with him in charge. But yes, I suspect if relations are still civil, there would be every chance we would try and go back in for him. If he can still be tempted by lots of wonga to spend to get up and wonga to spend in the Prem, it must surely be tempting?

I think they've got to go with QSF haven't they? Is that who YOU want though? I think he's the one I'd plump for yeah. I think he'd do the best job of bringing everyone on board, which is what we need.

I think it’s just a lottery these days with managers and the money in the game. lose a few games you’re sacked, win a few and you’re the next best thing.
Time to look inwardly and our internal structure and team responsible for running the club. That’s the first stop. Then a manager that suits what they expect.

It's hardly the Vanarama League or SPL.

It's hardly the Vanarama League or SPL. That's absolutely correct and we may yet get a foreign manager but I don't think it will be one from this list. I have a feeling Jokanovic will end up at West Ham if Fulham don't go up, and I think Silva will have his eyes on the Everton job. If QSF was hesitant about managing us in the PL then I can't see why he would be more keen now that we are in the Championship, especially as the original package offered to him will no doubt be reduced. I would be delighted to be proved wrong as I would be happy with any of those three but I just don't see it happening.
