On TV John Coates was repeatedly shaking his head, I would think he has more to fear from him Perhaps he was thinking to himself that the gruesome twosome have really fucked him and the club over. Perhaps he should be proactive and do something about it then. He's the only one who can. I'm sure bet365 would never be in a position whereby a malaise would be allowed to fester and they were being out-performed by BetFred and Paddy Power.

I'll have a dig see what I can find. I heard it on Radio Stoke at 6PM one night last week as I was driving home. He didn't directly say "I was told not to buy defenders" - but he did say something similar. Cheers mate. I'm ashamed to say that I've wasted the best part of Monday morning at work, trawling through boring P&G and Sport at 6 interviews. This was what I heard last week, but I had already heard of this 'rumour' prior to hearing this... which is probably why I read into it deeper than it probably warrants. www.bbc.co.uk/radio/play/p06k4wm1Around the 24 Minute mark - "I looked at the defence & I think the general consensus from within the club was that we needed more goals. But of course I'm the manager coming in and I'm paid to make those big decisions" Not sure what I make of that after hearing it back

So you would sack the manager ? who would you replace him with ? Play the youngsters ever though you say we would concede goals ,really lol Go all out attack ? we don't seem to be doing to bad in attack Less passing from side to side ? really So want us to ship more goals and score more ?
Your are on a wind up surely ?

Sacking the man would be stupid. He's got a lot to sort out even now. Get some more players in January and we'll be sound. Wait till January and we will not be promoted. Fortunately the leaders are also dropping points, but we still need to act now. I would play with the youngsters, accept we will concede goals, and go all out attack; less of the passing from side to side. Surely the free CBs can't be worse than the ones we have got. We are extremely unlikely to get promoted this season, if we replace Rowett with someone else I’d say it’s even more unlikely, stick with him and maybe he can sort us out and prepare for next season when we can mount a real challenge. A top 6 finish now is our absolute maximum for me, mid table with a few additions and a few departures in January (we need a whole new defence) and a further improvements in the summer and we can realistically challenge next season. Rowett has inherited a squad with extremely low confidence, some trouble makers. and some gaping holes. It needs a lot of work but I think he is the man to do it.

He's gone a fair way towards fixing those. It's a pity the people he spoke to at the club don't seem to know any more about the game than I do. Thanks for 'trawling'. 👍
