Moxey was on Radio Joke last night putting his four penneth in so maybe he’s making a comeback 😄 interestingly Keith Humphries has been back at games recently after his pension/tax shame a couple of years back, I know for a fact that Moxey is still big pals with Humphries read into it what you will but we know something is going happen

Jez Moxey should never be allowed to step foot in Stoke without being hounded out.

Jez Moxey?! it's basically the same as sacking Hughes and replacing him with Lambert. One useless fucker for another.

It’s makes no difference who the CEO is, the incumbent will always be unpopular due to them, essentially, being a mouthpiece of the board working towards a boards request for the club to be self sufficient. What positive changes do people expect even if this rumour is true? Maybe deals being tied up for first choice targets instead of them walking away due to our negotiator trying to be a clever twat, only to then go and sanction eye watering amounts on players that are third rate compromises. And you know that for a fact do you? Stop trying to pretend that you know what goes on behind the scenes. Even on the off chance that you are correct in your guesswork, what makes you think any new CEO will be any better considering the budget will remain the same or even tighter??

As you say, he operates within a budget set by Coates.

Yep, unfortunately folk have decided they want a scapegoat...he’s a glorified bean counter working within the constraints put upon him by the board.

No good way of constantly communicating that there wasn’t a pot to piss in, but there was a certain air about him which suggested he was enjoying it just a bit too much.

I think we all know the answer to that.

Perhaps he's going to Southampton. He must miss Les by now. I've just been reliably informed that he was seen today entering the offices of Western Sydney Wanderers not far from where i am right now. I will try and get confirmation.

Any chance of him taking the fat goaly and the dull scottish bloke with him. I’d strongly recommend Old Man Coates step down as Chairman of the Board and bring in someone new with a more dynamic, less cautious style of leadership.

I did see him loading cardboard boxes into his car the other week at the ground. Thought nothing of it at the time, and I suppose it could still mean nowt!? How reliable is your source Volvic? There you go then! On the other hand, didn't he say it was made up?

Keep him to do his normal work but keep him away from transfers! That’s impossible because he’s the CEO, which means he must be involved in all business decisions, especially large capital purchases - that’s his job. Assuming he’s on the Board, he also gets a vote.

If he tied up a deal with Harry Maguire (replace with any number of names we are on public record as having negotiations with) we would not even be discussing Wimmer. Do you think that Maguire, Lemina, Soares, Redmond came for talks because they fancied a day out in Stoke. If you have a good negotiator if you can get them through the door the jobs more than half done. Not with this fuckwit can only tie deals up for players desperate enough to agree to whatever he says.

What an embarrassment she was, I felt really sorry for TC, she made his job a lot more difficult than it needed to be. She needs to have a word with herself.

Not at all, I just think it’s unfair to point the finger of blame in the wrong direction. None of us has a clue what goes on behind the scenes. You’ve called Scholes a “fuckwit” but any number of factors could have scuppered those deals...that’s even if we were ever interested in those players you’ve listed. I get that folk are angry and looking for a scapegoat. I’m pissed off aswell but I happen to think you putting the blame at the feet of the wrong person in this instance.

All those players have either acknowledged they had talks with Stoke or Stoke have acknowledged they had talks with the player and/or they were pictured at Clayton Wood. I don't think there is the remotest doubt we were very interested in them and as I say the hard part is getting them and their agent into the building for negotiations. Ofcourse the deals could have been scuppered by restrictions imposed from above (Coates) but that doesn't really fit with our subsequent actions of spending shit loads of money on third rate compromises.

Him and Coates have summed up the problem for us on numerous occasions stating "we will only sign players on the right deals". I think we all know that to get the right quality sometimes you have to pay a bit more and make sacrifices elsewhere.

Quite happy to state with total and certainty that he was the single worst person ever employed by the club. Tactics were worse. The PR firm employed to to do some marketing. They advised us to get the pin stripe shirt and hung that cringeworthy proud to be a potter banner over the Stoke end. At the Jubilee Hall shortly after his appointment Moxey stated his main brief was to sort the ground out. Either moving or staying. If he'd left when it was up and running (around December 97) we'd see him differently. Instead he clung on and made a nob of himself.
