As an outsider, who has seen the worst of what Our Tone has conjured up since he left SCFC, I'm staggered at the numbers of Oatcake posters would contemplate the return of the Capped One. He would have relegated Albion if he had stayed.
His Boro episode was equally poor, as shown by the dislike and loathing he generated with their fans. If you guys think he is any sort of answer, things must be far worse at SCFC than I thought.
It’s absolutely morbid that in 2019, people want footballs Antichrist and convicted fraudster, Tony Pulis and his medieval football back, after what we’ve seen this club can produce. Such is the short sightedness of your average Stoke on Trent resident, said as someone born and bred in Stoke, Not as short sighted as some, who only remember the dross of Pulis's last 18 months. Take a longer view - four great seasons from 2007/8.

Nothing Pulis could produce comes close to our current disaster, which is catastrophic even by our low standards.

The hatred towards Pulis is ott. I was all for him going when he did- the time was right. But to slate him and not acknowledge what he did for us is ridiculous. Some of the most entertaining stuff I’ve ever seen us produce came in that couple of seasons around the FA cup final. He is a more capable manager than the current one, and the type of manager we needed when relegated ,not the 2 naive rookies we have employed since our relegation.
We need to steady the ship. If he came in Id fancy him to get more out of this bunch than Jones. For me good football is winning football. The games about winning. Not fancy football. It doesn’t matter how you do it. The foundation of any good team is it’s defence- look at Liverpools improvement since they sorted there’s out. Jones has no idea how to set a team up defensively.
Good football is winning football and I’d take a run of binary 1-0’s over watching us concede 2 goals a game.
Let’s not forget we’ve not scored 3 in.... how long is it... nearly 2 years??
It is understandable why people may call for Coates to reach for the bat phone and call for the most successful manager he has ever employed.
I’d rather us go for Hughton or Big Sam, but failing that you could trust TP to stabilise the flight and stop the free fall.
Jones is clearly a decent bloke, but it was the wrong job for him. He’s never experienced a situation or pressure like this and it shows. He has to go, I’m sure he will go on to do an excellent job somewhere else, but it’s just the wrong fit.
If he stays I hope, and any fan would, that he does well. But it’s just not going to happen. The family need to stop pissing around before it’s too late.
From being one of the most feared teams in the country to this in a short space of time just isn’t acceptable.

Interesting if true but do we have someone to take over straight away? A Twitter account, started just this month with no followers tagging Peter Crouch to get retweets. Yeah, they know the word coming out of Stoke City.

The last thing if and it is a big if the club decide to cut the losses with jones is to take many form of punt on anybody who is unproven at championship or premiership level. Having already had a gamble backfire already we need to ensure the next appointment is tried and tested

Jones was probably asking the “victim” if he’d like some assistance to make it to the changing room giving he was almost fatally wounded 🤣

You can tell by how Jones is pointing at him, that he is asking him a serious question. Something along the lines of: "You must be a religious man with how you rose from the dead this afternoon, do you have a special way of praying? Because the way I'm doing it clearly isn't bloody working!"

He said he was amazed that no one from Stoke picked the phone up and rang him when Hughes signed Berahino.A few years later when he spoke to Coates he asked him why and he said “I never undermined you when you were here so I’d never do that to Hughes/any manager either”(or words to that affect) So Tony Pulis, the then WBA manager, would have warned another club off a player he was desperate to get rid of? I can always tell when Toxic is lying... his fucking lips are moving. Honestly, the actual bollocks people fucking believe about this bloke... I actually think he would have told Coates Snr not to touch the cunt with a barge pole. When Pulis hates someone he hates them for life (that's not too uncommon) and he clearly had no time for Berahino and was happy with him training with the youth team. I actually think he still had enough Stoke in him that, if asked, he would have given Coates all the dirt. I remember soon after we signed him and we learnt of the 'ban' Pulis said something along the lines of... 'well yes, there was a ban'. I wondered at the time how could we have possibly not known about that and how single-minded we were about signing the waster.....

Just like he had enough Stoke in him to get his players to cheat against us? Enough Stoke in him to conceal the ban in the first place? I also know that Pulis didn't hate Saido at all, opposite in fact. Pulis isn't a very nice man at all, despite some of the misty eyed claptrap spouted on here.

It's worked for Neville ? i'm Presuming they mean Phil, sorry but that is a totally different sphere to the mens game. Gerrard the jury is out, in a 2 team league he came 2nd and looks like doing so again. Also Giggs is struggling to qualify for the Euros after being semi finalists last time. Lazy journalism/ wind up
