Charlie Adam anyone. We could bust FFP just on backroom boys at this rate. It’s actually not a bad shout. Adam is another who could go on to be good coach or manager.

The jury is out on his waistcoat but 226 Premier League games and 43 goals for the football club is not too shabby.
History will judge SJW kindly.

.... and another. Yep, there is definitely a feeling here that we should be a retirement home for ex players.
I just think Whelan strikes me as the kind of bloke who could make it as a manager, I don’t care about former players coming back. More often than not it doesn’t work out anyway Mick. “I don’t care about former players coming back. More often than not it doesn’t work anyway”. A good example I suppose would be Chelsea’s current manager

Mickstupp just suggested Glen Whelan. I've named a name. I suggest you read his post again. Unless I’m wrong he didn’t advocate him becoming a member of the staff at SCFC. He inferred it. And liked my post when I pointed it out. Happy for you to split hairs if you want though.

Happy for you to split hairs if you want though. To be clear, I’m not saying I want Whelan, Adam, Huth, or Walters to come back just because they were good players for us during a successful period. I was just sharing an opinion that I think Whelan has what it takes to be a good manager one day.

Does he even have his coaching qualifications? I've no clue mate but I can't see his name without passing some kind of tribute, he is right there with Ryan and Huth and Whelan and Begovic and N'Zonzi and Ric as the rocks on which our 10 year Premier League tenure stood.

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but of all the ex players in recent times the one I’d back to become a good coach or manager eventually would be Glen Whelan .... and another. Yep, there is definitely a feeling here that we should be a retirement home for ex players.

SJW coming back as an Academy Coaching staff member is great news as far as I'm concerned. He's a guy who literally bled for Stoke on many occasions and to have him in the building will I'm sure be an inspiration to the younger players coming through the ranks of our club. An ex player who can talk from experience & has played at the very top of domestic & International football. Know it's a different scenario but that's something Nathan Jones couldnt even do in his motivational speeches as a manager due to his onfield experience being very limited.
As for how qualified he is to be a coach right now is something I cant answer. But I'm sure he'd have some coaching courses & got the necessary badges under his belt to start this new job. & to be fair coaching in the academy is a vast world away from coaching the first team & if it's the first rung of the ladder for him to learn his trade as a coach then im glad it's at Stoke as opposed to Burnley or one of his previous clubs.
Gareth Owen is head of our Academy & he only made 5 appearances for us in his career. I'm sure Walter's will be absolutely fine & the fact he's an ex player who was a good one at that, & someone who always gave his all is certainly an asset as opposed to someone at Stoke just feeling nostalgic & giving him a job for being an ex player alone.

He's certainly got the right attitude, knows what playing for us entails and has plenty of minutes at the top level. He comes across as more of a coach than Rory and there's no harm in seeing what happens as long as he's given support by more senior staff.

I think it is impossible for any of us to know if he will make a good coach but I am pretty sure he will be a positive and forceful impact on dressing room attitude.

Also he can explain to the young lads how a career can go wrong at a young age like his did at Blackburn and hopefully set them on the right mindset. Don’t forget coaching doesn’t always have to be with the ball at their feet.

Welcome the news but another deflection tactic by the owners no doubt.
I’d be more interested in how the fcuk were in this position and more importantly that weaseling weasel is leaving the club
