Uh-oh...he said "in the building". It's like Pulis press conference bingo all over again. Work 'ard...this football club.....etc. I still like the cut of his jib. You get the feeling that he will do whatever it takes to be successful.

TP (oops predictive text) sorry, GR is a cracking fit for Stoke City at this point in our history, i think.
He will sort the shit out and i personally cant wait to see how our team takes shape. Massive summer, massive season and yet i feel strangely calm and at ease. I cant wait.

Backroom staff over the next "week or so" I'd hope it's a little more urgent than that? You would truly hope so FFS. There’s 20 days before the players come back FFS

Is there a link to the full presser video/audio anywhere? I’m at work so couldn’t watch on sky.

Maybe this is a manager we can ALL get behind? I bloody well hope so after all of the division we've had in the fan base with Pulis and Hughes where both had people willing them to fail from day 1.
Can Rowett unite us again like Macari did?

Uh-oh...he said "in the building". Alan: I loved that phrase you used, it was very clever – ‘Revolution not evolution'. Tony: No, it was the opposite. ‘Evolution not revolution'. Alan: Well whatever. Because that is me. I ‘evolve', but I don't… ‘revolve'…. Or vice-versa. I suppose what you're trying to say is, you don't want another Chris Evans on your hands. Tony: No, that is what we want. Alan: I'm your man.

Likes to keep things close to his chest, Gary doesn't he. Things we've learned. 1. He's happy to be here 2. errrr Well at least he didn't say what he was probably thinking which was 'if we'd only hung on in the 2nd leg against pissing Fulham I'd be in the Premier League with Derby now so on that basis no I'm not very fecking happy to be here" !

His inability to pronounce any word with "th" in it will really wind me up over the course of the season.

You would truly hope so FFS. There’s 20 days before the players come back FFS So he had no input on the retained players with no representation from his own backroom staff ?, so who then has made the decisions including keeping the worlds worst GK.

Nothing of any substance. Just talk. I have no view on it yet.
Nothing changes until we see who's in and who's out.
Until then, with pre-season looming now, we still have the worst squad in all four divisions. I'm not interested in anything until that fact changes.

Until then, with pre-season looming now, we still have the worst squad in all four divisions. I'm not interested in anything until that fact changes. I mean, as far as over-dramatic statements go, that's a pretty good one. It's perfectly true. Last season we couldn't beat League Two teams. The sum total of our activity this close season has been to announce that we are keeping Haugaard. This is not the moment for taking things nice and slowly. We need a major clearout and rebuild at the club, and we need to urgently signal our intentions to the rest of the footballing world. So far we've announced Haugaard. Not exactly a great start. Some of us seem to think all we have to is turn up and we will win this league. Such people are in for a massive shock. Just wait until the four goal to kings carry on into the championship, because if we don't do anything and Haugaard is our keeper that's exactly where it's going. Other teams are making moves, we are merely talking. As usual.
