This makes it pretty clear to me that we must have told him he has until the Swans game to turn things around and they're keeping their word, but it doesn't mean they aren't looking for someone to replace him, remember the shambles that was the Hughes sacking, we don't need a repeat of that. He wouldn't have said what he said on Tuesday night if he knew at that point that he still had the Swansea game and he certainly wouldn't have said his goodbyes to people.

I can only hope that those with tickets to go to Swansea rip them up and no one attends one protest at this shambles of a club. The only way to claw back some respect would be for a Coates or Scholes to turn up at the presser with him I hope the club offer fans a full refund*. (*obviously this will be in the form of a voucher that said fan can only use in the club shop**) (**Please note voucher can only be spent when the club are completing a stock take and the shop is closed)

Vale are at home against Morecambe. Might go to the game! Why? Because in a post yesterday I said I was so fed up with the whole debacle that I might as well become a Vale fan until Jones goes. I'm giving it serious thought. This is as big a shambles as I've ever seen at this club.

And I thought I hated him, Jesus wept, the owners must absolutely despise him to the point of seeing him humiliate himself in front of thousands.
No need for this at all.

Before I start, DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS BASED ON PURE FRUSTRATION ALONE. ITS BEEN BUILDING UP AFTER 4 YEARS OF DROSS AND EMBARASSMENT SO IF IT MEANS PEOPLE TELL ME TO F*CK OFF UP THE VALE THEN SO BE IT I am totally ashamed and embarrassed of this club. This is a new low, something I didn't think even we were capable of but bravo Stoke, youve surpassed yourself yet again. No other club would handle it this way and it 100% shows how incompetent the fools are in charge of the club. Jones has waved the white flag, he's acknowledged he has failed and not up to the task, he should of been gone after that interview but instead, he will be sat infront of the camera's previewing the next loss and embarrassment against the league's top team Swansea. What is the fucking point in this club anymore? seriously? The owners are allowing a man to take charge of a team of players that clearly do not respect him nor want to play for him. its an absolute joke but ironically, I'm not surprised as this is what the owners and the board continue to do...make a mockery out of this once great club. A new and embarrassing low each and every week and its got to the point where people have had enough. Absolutely raging about this as Ive never in my life of following the game seen a manager openly plead to be let go from a job only to be given the following match by a group of supposedly good business people who have no clue how to run a football club in the modern day. Fucking insane it really is. Really cant wait for the next capitulation at Swansea and more points lost to get further cut adrift. Well said. We’re an absolute fucking laughing stock.

Do we need a "proof of life" statement from the club about our board?
Is anybody home??

I fear for the future of this football club.
It's only a matter of time before people start to turn on the owners, it's now almost impossible to defend them.
And if they decide they've had enough, it looks like a very bleak future for Stoke City.

This is as big a shambles as I've ever seen at this club. I would prefer to not go at all than give Vale any of my time or money. It's doubtful I"ll actually go. For starters I live in Leicester these days, so even going to Stoke games is a massive effort, let alone Vale. It's more the principle of the thing. We all show our frustrations at the current situation in different ways.

Hmm, in the interests of brevity I thought I'd take the liberty of rewriting your post with some of the unnecessarily verbose wording removed, hope you don't mind: it looks like a very bleak future for Stoke City.

And if they decide they've had enough, it looks like a very bleak future for Stoke City. I think its maybe time to start pointing the focus towards the owners and the board. They clearly do not care about the fans and Im questioning whether they actually care about the club anymore. Moronic statement maybe but I am wondering. Ive never seen such a bunch of incompetent idiots who supposedly sit around a boardroom table.

Absolutely fucking scandalous. A complete dereliction of duty by the board. We are an absolute laughing stock, pathetic, risible and ludicrous.

Maybe they are going to make him carry his cross all the way to Swansea before the public crucifixion takes place. Absolutely ashamed to be a Stoke fan today. We truly are a laughing stock, why are the clowns running this club even thinking about letting Jones take this conference ? the man is a wreck can they not see what they are doing it's bordering on cruelty.

So did he take the press conference?? Some potential new managers may see this as the board hanging Jones out to dry or maybe even encouraging him to go before he's pushed (obviously not going to happen ££££) but it certainly doesnt create an image of a club with vision and leadership.

It's shocking.. you'd say money talks so we could persuade over this shambles. But our club are penny pinching right now. Fuck sake!!
