We’d be better dusting off a certain dossier. I think it was used to relegate West Brom. That was due to their change of ownership. The dossier was used to produce yet another miracle saving them the previous season from a hopeless situation. Four crisis clubs saved by TP; Stoke, Plymouth, Palace, WBA. No other human being on the planet is as good as TP from saving English clubs who are in crisis.

Have you seen our home attendances? I mean the actual people attending rather than quoted figure? I think those premier league extras have long gone I’d say there’s still a lot left.. a lot that don’t go the game but have the loudest voices and the biggest egos/opinions! [/quote] How do you know they are the premier league extras? Bayern moans his bollocks off about anything and everything but hes been going for years. Momo and myself moan only marginally less and we've been going for more years than I care to remember. Same with prestwichpotter and cobham. Died in the wool stokies who travel everywhere from outside the area. Perhaps the premier league extras arent the problem afterall. Maybe it's those of us who have seen all this before and, maybe, just maybe, we arent prepared to sit back quietly and watch it all unfold again. [/quote] Well then I don’t want to come across as an dick but you should know better? Get behind the man, criticise the players making individual mistakes, criticise the hierarchy for there decision making over the past 4/5 years, criticise the recruitment team for some of there poor decision making. Don’t put this mess on the shoulders of jones, this has been coming for years. It’s just coming to boiling point now and unfortunately for Jones he’s in the hot seat at the time of boiling point. I’m not being an arse mate but seriously what would you do now if you were in charge at the club? Sack jones then what? Who do you get in, do you think houghton is going come here? The only man who would come in and steady the ship would be Pulis because you’re not going get anywhere any better then what? We all cried for Pulis out towards the end of his time at stoke. Or do you think we get rid of jones and take another gamble on someone else? Then what if that doesn’t work? Where does that leave you another 12 months behind, another big financial hit, more turmoil at the club. For me personally I think we’ve got to trust him, believe in him and back him with noise and passion I know it’s hard get behind them at the minute because to be honest there isn’t a single player who plays for stoke that I actually like as a bloke aswell as a footballer. But let’s do it for jones, we can see the mess as fans we aren’t stupid but I genuinely believe he will turn this around and he will give us his all. Like I say I’m not saying It be an arse mate I’d just be genuinely interested in what you thought the answer would be..

I'm not going to quote you because someone above ballsed this particular quote function but I will accept your apology for being arsey. I've criticised players, owners and managers for the shit show that is our current predicament and I make no apologies for that. What would I do is a good question. If I had coates money, I'd never have had him in the first place nor would I have had Lambert or rowett. It was obvious what was needed post Hughes and if i was a multi billionaire, I'd have gone out and got a manager of suitable calibre rather than the 3 charlatans we ended up with.

It was me that messed it up mate haha.. I aren’t too good with technology! I’d have done the same mate, hindsight’s a wonderful thing. I’d have appointed big sam chucked loads of money at him stabilised the club and rebuilt get back up stay up then move from there. But we aren’t in that situation now, we’re 2 years past that. So in the current situation what would you do mate?

So in the current situation what would you do mate? I would use my wealth to get big Sam on a nice contract with hefty bonuses and let him restructure the club properly. People say we couldn't do that but our owner has the money to do whatever the hell he wants in this regard.

We tell ourselves “Well at least we’re not Vale fans?”

D) Have a nice weekend next weekend away from footy with my other half and ignore/try to forget Stoke City's existence until 14th September (On the 14th I will revert to B) Best form of action. I’m going take a lady friend up the Manifold next Saturday That's fantastic Colin. I've heard that if you're really lucky and come gently onto the river bank, you may be fortunate enough to see a beaver.
