Not a fan of his analogies? I agree though, he's shit and wouldn't do much.

My goodness, no! The height of his achievement is getting Sheff Wed to the play-offs twice and then being relegated with Swansea when they had a better chance of survival than us.

If there is a 'boardroom lobby' for Carvahal then the enitire board needs drowning in a vat of boiling hot fucking lobby!

Stoke City going for Carlos? More chance of The Jackal than Carvalhal

Swansea were bottom of league and five points from safety when he took over. We were 18th and one point from safety when Lambert took over, so you can’t say they had a better chance of surviving than us.

not forgetting the great job he did with Preston in the Champ previously In the interests of balance Man United lowest league position for 10 years , Sunderland relegated , sociedad sacked after a few months . Now he remains a great choice but he is not the very very best Out there both would come for the right deal as it’s a location that suits and an environment where money is available , but one will suffer no compromise one will try an work within the framework ,however I suspect it’s all over if we’ve spoken to Moyes allardyce won’t come end of , so its down to the negotiating team to close it out Fair points benj... but why don't the words 'down to the negotiating team' fill me with confidence?

CC is no better than rowett in terms of comparing championship records Both got teams into the play offs both failed. I've got a sneaky feeling CC's agent is publicly declaring interest on CC's behalf the bullshit of a boardroom lobby is just nonsense to me it's clear they want experience i.e Moyes or Allardyce.

My God I hope you're right! In my opinion he should have been sacked on Saturday after another tedious and gutless display! Rowett OUT!!! Yes, it’s starting to look a bit ominous. This uncertainty can’t be good for the players hence my preference that we sacked him last weekend and appointed a caretaker.

Carvalhal can Carfuckoff, absolutely do not want this analogy ridden wet wipe here. For goodness sake, it's hardly fucking rocket science to look at Jokanovic if there is a desire to get some brand of attacking football.

Thankfully it's in the sun, so is about as reliable as a GeneralFaye transfer rumour. Tony Scholes has supplied me with a long list of names that the new manager will be looking to sign. Don't worry, I'll let you all know in the coming days.

Don’t believe that at all. Me neither. Has to be bollocks. But as Grapey says, it's so bizzarre, that it almost makes you think that there must be some truth to it. I still think it's just made up Sun garbage though. Although if one mentioned Lambert as a replacement for Hughes after he was sacked, “bizarre” would have been an understatement and you’d probably have been laughed at 😆

Big Sam = promotion Moyes = stagnation You don't know that though, do you? Are you just after Big Sam because he reminds you of a fat Tony Pulis? Based on Big Sam turning round numerous clubs in dire straits Based on Moyes failing repeatedly with clubs in dire straits.

Based on Big Sam turning round numerous clubs in dire straits Based on Moyes failing repeatedly with clubs in dire straits. Come on March. One club was Man United where he wasn't even given the full season, never mind getting to the second. Decent first season at Sociedad, Sunderland was a basket case and he stopped West Ham going down and got a bit of fight back, learning from Sunderland mistakes. All but two finishes with Everton were Top 8, most being Top 7. Qualifying for Europa League. Sam has been the short term fix for ages, and if it weren't for the desire of the West Ham board to try and get a 'name' as manager, Moyes would have got that job. I trust Moyes infinitely more than Sam to make a project out of this.

He got a poor Wednesday team to the play offs twice and got them playing good football Also he only lost 37 of 131 games he's managed in the Championship. I know who'd I prefer

In the 6 years since leaving Everton the only modicum off success he's had was at West Ham.....and only on the back of getting Arnie firing as a centre forward really. He's a has been I’d rather have a has been than a never will be.

If the rumours are true. At least we are branching away from the ultra safe, ultra boring style of football and not picking one of the footballing managerial dinosaurs.
Oh wait...
The owners and directors of this club haven't got a pair of bollocks between them.

They did by the end - the defeat by Hughes in their home game with Southampton sent them down. Bottled a massive chance. But isn’t Carvalhal the reason they actually stood a chance of survival? they seemed to be doomed before he took over. Not that I want him at Stoke, but then the prospect of the other names banded about doesn’t fill me with confidence either. Perhaps it’s time for Coates to sell up.

He'll never sell up, no point in even suggesting that he should. I think a Chinese group once lodged some interest and that was as far as it got, Coates will not give up this club. Regardless of mistakes made, he's still a fantastic chairman who is incredibly loyal.

Who or what exactly make up the Board of Stoke City ? And where does the power behind Stoke exactly lie, is it Denise ?
