Rowett had the impossible job - as in picked up a team/squad that was rotten to the core - that could not compete at any level in a game of footie and yet was expected to win the league outright by fans and a board that should have known better. Doomed to get sacked but was actually doing alright and we would not have been in this mess had we kept him. Had we got the NJ/Rowett appointments the wrong way round we would have dropped straight through to tier 3. NJ was another road traffic accident appointment by our clueless owners. MON is considered the saviour, but has actually only got 3 more points than Rowett in the same amount of games - yet Rowett was considered an abject failure by most Stoke fans and the board - how do we work that one out. MON should keep his job if he keeps us up and will deserve some time and patience if he does. My worry is that, if we do stay up, when we reach the half way stage next year and are hitting some consistent form and are only 6 points of the play-offs, like Rowett, that the idiotic fans/board will see this as a failure and the cycle will continue and MON will receive his cards and we will have to endure another British hit n hope feck up of an appointment The key differences with Rowett, for me anyway, are that he had a full pre season and spent around £50 million whereas MON had neither. The football was dull and we were no great shakes but he'd have kept his job if he could have kept his mouth shut, he couldn't and didn't.That's what killed him for me, really unprofessional and dug his own grave. He seems alright really though, I don't hate him and I think he'd recognise how much he fucked himself. It was time for Bojan to go but what a horrendous way of dealing with it.

MON with a pre season gives rise to optimism.
My only concern is with recruitment of players.
Let’s hope Thompson was a panic buy and is not typical.

Let's hope Thompson develops He's had a couple of good games,keeps the ball well but has looked lost since Allen was injured We can't keep writing off young players after 3 or 4 matches
