Yeah but he gave us three 9th place finishes! Yes mate I await those posts🙄 Those three 9th places mean fuck all looking back, as far as I'm concerned. Mark Hughes is a fucking twat and an absolutely fucking wank manager who I can honestly say, i wish he'd never set foot into our football club, because the "Good times" weren't worth the absolute shit show he made and left us with.

Do Arnie's comments start to make more sense now? Not gone that he’s done the exact same thing again this season. He left for the money. I wouldn't dispute that he left for the money, but I'd always had the impression he'd enjoyed his time at Stoke (I never had that feeling with Shaqiri), so his comments on leaving seemed very pointed.

Beggars belief how bad our club is run.
I stopped buying a season ticket in 2011 and glad I did - football is played by snowflakes and managed by them these days.
Give me a team full of Mcleans over that wanker every time

As far as Hughes apologists are concerned, I've never denied what happened in those last two seasons, I don't think any of us have.
I just enjoyed the previous three years massively and can't see any point in deriding them. Those 9th place finishes were bloody good as far as I'm concerned.

Unfortunately, the last 2 years under his reign and his legacy he’s left behind massively overshadow the 9th place finishes for me.

Also interesting that when Jermaine Jenas met him on a train he (Johnson) said he was planning to retire and had lost his love of the game This wasn’t at the end of last season it was the season before !!!! And we gave him an extra year! What an amazing recruitment system Stoke City have!

Retraumatised So furious watching this. Can only imagine what Berahinho was like. What a disgusting bunch of human beings. Buck stops with the board though. To let this happen on your watch is utterly unforgivable. All roads keep leading back to the board Money is no use if you keep burning it

This interview is the clearest proof you will ever get that there is a massive problem upstairs. Yeah blame the managers, we've had a few now in 15 months. But this club is being run like a bloody social club, worse in fact. Big restructure in recruitment required but sadly it looks unlikely to happen. Jokers.

I understand what he's saying and agree with what many posters have said, that the board and Hughes should come under fire for letting it happen.
But we keep hearing from these ex-players and seasoned pros that were supposedly working hard to keep us afloat. They also weren't good enough last year.
It's all well and good throwing Shaqiri under the bus, but he did more last season than most of the team combined. The seasoned, 'good for the locker room' characters weren't big enough.

Yet the owners and senior management took far far far too long to do anything about it. Jokers. And now they sack every new manager because they have an almost impossible job to sort out. The problems run very deep.

Can’t imagine Jones putting up with any of that Imbula childish petulant shite.
I think he’ll sort out the players attitudes just hoping he’s got the technical nous to get us firing

He is obviously a very prickly character because with his (from the outside) record as a player there you would have thought he would be revered.

There's quite a lot wrong with what Johnson has said here, albeit fair play for being honest.
The "We called relegation in pre season" line really rankles.
Nothing like chucking the towel in before the season starts.

Why would they block the manager over a footballing decision? Bardsley always looked a strange decision, but Walters has barely played since, and Whelan looked finished at Premier League level and was replaced by Fletcher who was known as a leader off the pitch. There was nowt shocking about it from a senior management point of view.

Nothing like chucking the towel in before the season starts. That's just lads talking though isn't it. Doesn't mean they chucked the towel in. Presumably it just means they'd looked at what was going on, looked at how the previous season had gone, and thought it didn't look good.

But the senior management should, in a normal functioning company be there to ensure decisions that are going to lead to your massive decline are checked and checked thoroughly. The senior management have been fast asleep at the wheel for a long time now, enjoying the trappings of the success of Bet365. Its a mess and however much the managers are blamed the senior management have a responsibility to oversee. Or else what is the point of them.

We spent the big money on wasters and egotists and forgot that attitude and aptitude are both required
We supplemented them with free transfers and loans knowing that the objective overall was self sufficiency
Hughes clearly then lost all motivation and couldn’t care less given the restrictions placed on him - it was a domino effect and it started at the very top of the club

This all sound similar to the stories that came out about Hughes’ time at QPR.
They haven’t really recovered yet either.

I love how Stoke supporters can't wait to believe a two bob ex player slating the club, especially the ones who slaughtered him while actually playing.
Wonder if he still collected his money when calling relegation... tosser.

When you have a manager repeatedly quoted as saying "who else is going to do the job then" and he isn't immediately sacked by the senior management, then that is when it dawns on you that there is a serious problem in the upper echelons of SCFC.
