So here we are again. With yet another manager on the horizon are we looking at a Solskjaer Bounce, Lambert Splat or Zola style Plummet?
History can't repeat itself can it? After all anything is better than Rowett. Except Zola. But then what has historical precedent got to do with predicting the future?
I'm going full on Zola. With knobs on.
Just to make sure I fully expect us to actually appoint Zola. To win over the fans he'll play Bojan and Bauer - who will both prove to be completely useless - and the early euphoria will turn to disbelief and then horror via denial.
To commemorate last season, while bottom of the league, we'll take Lambert from Ipswich who will reprise his previous splat by remaining rooted to last place for the rest of the campaign. Ipswich will avoid relegation on the last game having appointed Rowett. But then a sacked Stoke manager saving a rival from relegation is just too ridiculous for words. It couldn't possibly happen. Could it.

Plummet.
Can you imagine the first day of training when our multi millionaire players treat this third division manager with disdain.

Plummet, I’m ashamed of my club. Last 2 appointments have been shocking, we are trending towards a third, someone nowhere close to being on the same level as Rowett.

Probably just a bit of a thud as this season becomes a write off.
A young manager like this is going to need some time and I imagine he has been told he will get it.
The club will be hoping that there are enough signs of things moving in the right direction to encourage people to renew season tickets.
An almighty gamble if it is happening so at least no one can say they haven’t been brave.

Plummet. Can you imagine the first day of training when our multi millionaire players treat this third division manager with disdain. Wouldn't that just show the players are the problem? Didn't the Arsenal players say that when Wenger turned up. Didn't take them long to reassess. The manager will prove himself if he's any good. The snobbish nature of football is cancerous. |

Bounce, plateau, late bounce but just miss the playoffs. Next season rise, win the championship unbeaten, league cup winners. Premiership, sweep all before us with style. Top 4, FA Cup winners, Europe. Repeat the next season with a European trophy to add to the cabinet. Dominate continental football for a decade until people start asking if Tyrese Campbell could do it on a warm Wednesday evening in Barcelona.
I'm a Stokie. I can dream. I dream of it every night.
Who knows? We hope for the best, fear the worst, and will probably get something in between.

I’m not convinced but the more I think about it the more I believe this could be a great move

There are lots of examples of managers who started their careers in the lower leagues and went on to great success in the higher leagues.
There is a risk involved here, but one worth taking in my opinion.

Even Luton Town managers don't drive around in 18 year old fiestas with the wing mirrors taped on anymore Signing on with us will boost his net worth |

If he brings attacking football to Stoke then I'm going to optimistically say 'bounce'
Me personally? Well I'm sick of negative turgid football.

I knew I should have hired a smart car to go to the interview in. Still, Mr Coates liked the furry dice and Mr Scholes definitely had a smile at the tinted windscreen sticker that said "Quietman and Tony". I thought wearing the sombrero and lederhosen to show my connection with the foreign game would have sealed it but it wasn't to be. I'll reserve judgment on whoever we appoint until they've had time to bed in. Then we'll see what football we play and how the players perform. Whoever it is will get my support in the meantime. I was pleased when we appointed Rowett. Dumbfounded when we appointed Lambert. Annoyed when we appointed Hughes and horror-stricken when we re-appointed Pulis. Lambert aside, my track record of pre-judging managers is hardly world class. |
