This isnt a Coates out thread (yet) But the board need to be held accountable, sacking Scholes would be a start. Modern football has completely passed us by, Im not doubting they are well intentioned but the decision making the past 3 years has been nothing short of a disgrace, waiting an age to sack Hughes when we could have pushed on, trusting Lambert to keep us up e.t.c. It is clear they dont have any plans in place for the direction of the club, we were told lessons had been learnt, an empty platitude to appease the fans. We are only heading one way at the moment and it is sickening to watch, those at the top need to be held to account for their decisions and we need to see a clear change in direction at the club. Enough is enough

It fucking should be a Coates out thread.
The way they've lazily ran this football club for the past 3 (and certainly more off the pitch) years is nothing short of a disgrace.
How the fuck can they justify sacking a bloke at the end of the week when we've got a game Monday and we need something to kick start our season.
It's pathetic. They're pathetic. I wish they'd fuck off.

We have failed on so many occasions to grasp the nettle and reinvent ourselves and move with the time and be progressive. We have in the most just chucked money at it and hoped it would all be ok. It hasn't and we are where we are.

I wish they'd fuck off. I agree, my only worry is where would the investment come from and who would buy us, but yeah the way they have ran us in the past few years is pathetic. They are living off the goodwill from the Prem years but people need to wake up, the way things stand Coates will have had a hand in 3 of our relegations to the third tier |

It hasn't and we are where we are. So what are the options open to the guys and gals that attend A protest outside the ground before the next home game perhaps? Smudge usually delivers accurate reviews, so perhaps a scathing attack written piece directed straight at the top...? We have to do SOMETHING !!!!! Any more for any more? |

I have had enough. Whenever the camera pans onto the "family" in their box, I just sneer at them. They really have lost their way.
For some reason they remind me of Fools and Horses - the bit where after selling the watch and becoming millionaires - the family enter The Nags Head, to applause.

John Coates having way too much influence, or any at all really, is the thing that scares me the most. Add the weasel that is Tony Scholes to that and yeah well fuck me sideways.
If we stay up, I will be truly, truly amazed.

They’re the problem, I don’t get what’s hard to see about it. Clinging to this outdated way of running a football club for dear life whilst inadvertently squeezing the fucking soul out of it. If you’re redeeming argument is, “they’re keeping the club afloat so therefore we can’t criticise” you really haven’t got much going for you. This is fucked, and the club may well be long term.

Well they've turned a Premier League club that was a few good board decisions and a bit of luck away from becoming something pretty special to the worst club the professional football pyramid. I'd be shocked if Stoke was worth a 10th of what it was 4 or 5 short years ago. |

Thing is they will get away with it again, they will appoint a new manager, we will all get behind him as we should do, then they will become the scapegoat for the boards ineptitude

Unfortunately they are living off the 10 years in the Premiership for sure. From the 9th season there were more then enough signs we had issues, and then we got relegated " without a fuss" , then self Sustainable, all the shameful set up while trying to replace or even sack a manager is nothing short of amateurish.. I remember all the time reading " be careful what you wish for and be grateful for the Coates for this and that.. Just look at the apathy on the pitch, in the stands during and after a match or when the season finishes , there is just nothing there! Again Coates could be involved in leading us again into the third bloody tier!! Piss poor, either some how and sort it out quick or sell up, even foreign Chinese owners couldn't be as bad as this... West Brom, Wolves and Leicester are streets ahead of this set up!

It's had it and it'll be along time(probably not in my life time) before we get in the big league again. What the fuck has gone wrong. |

Tony is inconsolable tonight, I think I might have to accompany him to some counselling if this continues. You can’t blame him , he can’t even have contemplated the nightmare that’s about to engulf him , leave the most over paid job in the world with zero accountability and no hope of anything rise other than Sainsbury’s shelf counting ,, or spend the next few years as the gimp of a ferocious welsh tyrant not jut that but a Tyrant who has stewed on revenge for years ,whose temper is legendary and who who will exact merciless and brutal revenge day after day , minute by minute second by second and then come back for more , how many times will a process fit up one mans arse without a local and in how many directions is the new metaphorical game in the corridors of power your counselling is futile metaphorical , unimaginable hell is about to descend ah well every cloud and all that 😉 |

It’s worth Pulis coming back just to see what he’ll do to Scholes.
It will be like Charles II and Oliver Cromwell - he’ll dig up his corpse just to cut off his head.
Is there a traitors gate anywhere at the 365?

They...and some fans, thought we had a god given right to bounce straight back up to the premier league. They handed out ridiculous long contracts to poor players. Their recruitment policy is a shambles. They don't communicate with the fans. You could go on and on. I'm well up for a protest because we are utterly rudderless. I think we as fans should put the club up for sale under their noses |

They all need to fuck off! The owners, the board, the coaching staff, the players, everyone of them. They're all cancerous cells that need cutting out, only after that can we start to rehabilitate. We have tried quick fixes and patch ups but the cancer keeps coming back. We are the club, us and 156 years of history, they are all replaceable.

In over 30 years of following the club, this the lowest of the low - under Ball, Bates, Little etc we were awful but we were shit because we hadn’t got a pot to piss in and had to settle for buying wank players. These aren’t so much wank players as absolute wankers!
With regards to those running the club during those dark times, the fans were always the driving force for change and we NEVER put up with the shit on the pitch when it got this bad. Now, the crowd are sedate, resigned to us losing, we’ve been beaten into submission by the events of the last 4 years. When the fans lose their feelings for the club, we are in deep shit. This was all so avoidable as well and it is about time those running the club realised that this is unacceptable. I’m not advocating binning the Coates family as such because if they take their ball and fuck off, we could be totally shafted. However we have to give them a jolt and wake them up, starting with the twat running the club on their behalf.

You had Scholes talking about Flags as warnings about signings and watching players 20 odd times when in fact Wimmer alone hadn't even played that many! Then you have Peter with " what's the fuss" and probably hasn't woken up to where we are in the table! And then John Coates was on that video a few months back meeting the fans … at best he was pissed and on " a mind bending substance" or he was totally simple in the head when we spoke about the Story about the cleaner or whoever who recommended Jones...
With that set up i'm more surprised we made it to the Premiership , never mind stayed there 10 years! Now is nothing short of out of their depth in transfers and recruitment , fan communication , just everything is lazy and lazy and no wonder the fans going to matches more as a routine rather then in hope of seeing a half decent match!
Sadly we aren't going to get the answers we really want and need!!!
