A well earned summer break for the players coming up, you’ve earned it lads...😂
Joking aside I hope it does refresh them and they come back in July with a fresh attitude and new approach.

I imagine it's actually really quite soul destroying for them to be fair, you joke but it'll do them the world of good.

They will probably be back training mid June with the season starting 3 August. Doesn’t leave a lot of time for early recruitment.

It says a lot when the young players are shining in the team because they give a shit and have a point to prove.
Too many players at Stoke on the best contract they can find and just go through the motions.
Many of our squad will struggle to get anything like the contract they are on at Stoke after this season

Based on how they have done this season, they should get a long weekend.

I do think they've earned it, as the nucleus of the team have had to play 8 more games than usual. However, there's a fair few of them I hope don't come back at all...

I think todays players in the modern era are asked to play far too many games in a season. Plus they have to come in for training a couple of days a week. It is clear from watching Stoke's players that the tedium and daily workload is clearly grinding them down. Perhaps with a large squad we should reduce the pressure on them by selecting the teams so that a player only has to turn out every 2nd game, so that they don't get overtired. Think of the trouble the Club might be in if a player fell asleep at the wheel of their Porsche as a result of over work!

Time we the supporters draw a line under the season. It's the same for the players. I know they get paid a fortune but nothings going to change now. Let's all try and enjoy the last few games and make some noise in preparation for next season....Thankfully this one is nearly over 🤬
At least i can mow the lawn on Saturday afternoons in a few weeks...

How many holidays does the OP get a year? A lack of inspiration as opposed to perspiration is one of the themes of the season for me. From the few indications that NJ has given about turning them into 'animals' etc they'd all be well advised not to let their fitness fall off a cliff,it potentially could be as brutal as anything nder TP'S regime.If they've got any sense they'll be doing some fitness work of their own volition. I think after this season they'll he more mentally jaundiced than physical clapped out....I know I am! 😉😂

To be honest I'll be glad of the break. The awfulness of last season and this season slightly broken up by a world cup distraction has been a bit much.

Awful season they should be embarrassed. Not many of them apologized for the previous season's performance. They probably thought "It's not my fault, it's the other guys" and many are probably still thinking it now. I'm confident Jones knows who doesn't care, who is past it, never had it, or doesn't fit his methods. Just hope he gets the club's support to take the appropriate actions, whether it's keep, sell, loan, release, or write off for a considerable financial loss.

Money for old rope then retire.

I don't think next season will be much better. Hard to summon much enthusiasm after the last 2 1/2 seasons, it has to be said. Hopefully Jones hasn't been tarnished by the general vibe surrounding the club. After all he's got a serious amount of positive vision to instill back into them all.

Think of the trouble the Club might be in if a player fell asleep at the wheel of their Porsche as a result of over work! I agree. And to remove some of the stress of being a professional footballer on less than £75,000 a week, we could reduce training sessions to once a fortnight and only play them for 45 minutes every month. During their 'rest' periods they could go on short holidays (10 days or less) to The Carribean or somewhere similar. I'm absolutely certain that given these new 'conditions of service' they would still be complete shite.
