There will be Stoke games to watch and things to speak in foreseeable future, regardless of what league are we playing in. There will be also some ups around the corner despite of the current downs.
What I'm trying to say that we should not be too fixated to play in the Prem again because that'll only take enjoyment out of supporting Stoke now. We shouldn't be living in the past or in the future... we are now in the Championship and despite of playing pretty badly we will be certainly not without drama this season. And we do have also lot to play for so the excitement will be there.
Perhaps accepting where we are now and what we are playing for would also take some pressure of the players and manager and therefore could create a better atmosphere in and around the club resulting eventually better performance on the pitch too.

Agree. I think some fans only followed stoke from the premiership onwards, to them championship football is a pointless exercise, its of no interest to them.
It's exactly the case that these miserable sorts are draining the fun out of the season for everybody else because mark my words, they wont stop kicking and screaming until, if & when we're promoted. Hopefully though they will get bored and disappear soon.
The rush to go back to the prem and get our arses served to us on a plate every week is what exactly?

There is a reason he hasn't got another job. Just because Jones is even worse doesn't make him any better.

We sat back in apathy as Hughes destroyed our club and our PL status, last season we watched us getting worse in a lower standard League, however never in real danger of relegation under Rowett, we bring in Jones who then wins 3 games in 4 months, 6 games in we are rooted to the bottom of the championship with a lunatic for a manager, there is very little enjoyment watching Stoke just now and hasn't been for three seasons. So you suggest we sit back watch the shit been served up happy clap us to another inevitable relegation to the third division, when do you suggest we stop been happy with our lot ?

There is a reason he hasn't got another job. Just because Jones is even worse doesn't make him any better. The reason he probably hasn't got a job is because scfc are probably still paying his wages until he does. Either that OR if his contract has been paid up for 6 month work why would he rush back into any job when he can wait for the one that suits him, Rowett's position was made worse ( a lot worse) because he didn't rate a player that is now playing in a no mark league and has scored 1 goal. Bojan bojan bojan, all we heard last season. Jokers.

Bojan bojan bojan, all we heard last season. Jokers. No he hasn't got a job because NOBODY wants him. Because fans have disliked him everywhere he's been and he was given ÂŁ50m and wasted it. Why would someone ever give him a transfer budget again? He slagged of Bojan but also others like Shawcross. He was rude and arrogant. I'll be surprised if he doesn't have to go back to League One if he wants another job because I can't see him getting on in the Championship and there are reasons for that other than not playing Bojan.

As a long standing fan, we are shit, and had no need to be, but for big mistakes at the top. A right ball's up of epic proportions. Do not give me this, will be back when in the prem or so on. I take umbrage to statements like that. This shower want gelding for what has happened to this club, that we all saw coming! Except for them, that is!

I'm not happy about the situation but at this moment our main goal should be to stay in the Championship. NJ made a big mistake for stating publicly that we'll win promotion this season.. despite of signing a host of mediocre Championship players, and has created himself a lot of pressure because of this statement. Then again it was really the only thing he could say to keep the promotion hungry fans happy. Jones' is living on borrowed time now unless miracle happens so he will be most likely gone anyway before this month is over.

I saw this on YouTube today:
I cant believe - A) that was only 6 years ago B) thats actually us
I think many people were intoxicated with our Stokealona flair and despite being 'true supporters' grieve for those days of attacking football and giant killing
It's hard to accept we are shit on and off the pitch when you think how close we were to the big boys
Accept it we must do and hope it doesn't take another 30+ years to do it again

The club has committed acts of negligence, arrogance, complacency and incompetence on a par with the Brexit vote!! Our demise is not some sort of natural evolution it is our own fault. So no I dont accept the current situation is something that we should accept because the people running the club have fucked up really badly.

One player we have decided to send out on loan until january to get match practice, big deal. Maybe he doesn't intend to use wingers so thought it would be good for him to get actual match practice with a team that does? Shocking management, hey? Furthermore, what makes you so sure this guy is a championship quality player, or ready for a long season. Hardly ripped it up on loan previously has he? Is it because his name sounds the part, what if he was called pete smith?

People said we should be excited about the championship because "we will actually win more games and show more intent and it would be more exciting etc...."
Just look at what we are watching. I didn't choose to be a Stoke fan, I was born one. I'll support the club and curse them with an honest distinction. The club that we can argue we too worked so hard and believed in has pretty much shat in our face and made us feel truly ungrateful for having some pretty accurate, open and honest opinions.
I can't read threads like these and say "it's all ok guys we are still playing football, that's what matters". The truth is, it really isn't. Being at the top and having an identity is the measure of success and ambition, Stoke barely exist where I live currently and they only live in memory of who we were. People are genuinely shocked when I tell them where we are, although most football fans know we got relegated but not that we are bottom of an absolutely diabolical division. It's shit down here
