Not since Lou Macari has our fanbase been united behind the manager. Pulis divides us still to this day. Hughes was hated by those that love Pulis but loved by those that didn’t. Everyone since, well less said the better but is MoN the man to bring us all together again? I fucking hope so!

Nope. I am sure the NJ fan boys hiding in the corner still secretly hate him. They just can't say anything as MoN is doing such a job without buying anyone new.

Staying up this year will certainly help.
Then, achieve there unachievable and get promoted before we run out of cash.

I think he'll bring more supporters together than most of the last lot. NEver going to please everybody and there's definitely a contingent who are just set against him. But, I don't think we should bother too much about trying to bring them around - you can just sense in the stands that most are behind him and the team and the unity is far better than it has been for a while.

As long as we’re winning and competing I don’t care who the manager is and I don’t give a shit if other fans like him or not.

Players playing with a smile on their faces.
Goals going in like its jumpers for goalposts.
The confidence coming back in waves (and we had a team where NO one, 1 to 11, had any)
Fans on board, how can you not with 3 and 5s rocketing in.
Now, and it’s my own view, please baby Jesus, find someone who wants Mince in the window.

Possibly-and of course I hope so. Three positive signs (maybe).
1/ The squad might be fitter. They certainly seem more inclined to keep going for 90+ minutes.
2/ They are probably more together. It's struck me that they really seem to support eachother, regardless of who happens to be on the pitch.
3/ The movement off the ball is probably a little better. For eg Vokes was much improved in this regard last match. Under Jones they were horribly static.
One thing I'd like O'Neil to achieve. I've thinking that virtually no-one has improved their basic footballing skills whilst playing for Stoke. I'm referring to ball control and accuracy of passing.
The last player who I think actually improved at Stoke was Arnautovic under Hughes and (more likely?) Bowen.

Not since Lou Macari has our fanbase been united behind the manager. Pulis divides us still to this day. Hughes was hated by those that love Pulis but loved by those that didn’t. Everyone since, well less said the better but is MoN the man to bring us all together again? I fucking hope so! BM I think you're right about Lou being the last manager to unite us. And, to a degree, you're also right about Pulis and Hughes. The big difference between the last two though, is that nobody ever wants Hughes back. |

I think NJ had plenty of people who desperately wanted to believe he could walk the walk. I've not seen any evidence of anybody being an "NJ fan boy" though? It was pretty obvious by the end that he was out of his depth, even for his most ardent well-wishers. For a thread about uniting the fans, can we stop this "fan boy" type of talk please? |

Do we really want to be united? I would like to think so
