Can't wait for next season, haven't said that for three years. Enjoy your summer Stokies, the future is looking bright.

Unbelievable stuff. For what he adopted and to take us to a higher tally than last season is nothing short of phenomenal.
Well done Michael and staff. We’re so proud of you

I remember a couple on here calling for his head before he'd even started. Would like to see what they have to say now.
Thank you Michael, we've given some thumpings out. Very positive for next season.

When I see and hear his pre and post match interviews, Michael reminds me of Fergie. He has certainly got the players backing him, in the same way that Fergie had at Old Trafford. Now, if he can just intimidate referees in the Fergie style next season - we've cracked it.

I’ve been saying for months we have an excellent squad. Couple them with an excellent manager and look what happens. I am very optimistic. If only the manager had the “relevant experience” eh?

Thanks Michael for saving this club. We were in utter shite before you took over and you’ve taken a mix and match squad so low on confidence they couldn’t talk a prostitute into sex. 10 points in our last four games , what a great way to end the season. You have united the fans and I’m actually optimistic into next season hoping for a top 10 finish I like the sentiment but can anyone talk a prostitute into having sex....i thought the point was you paid them? I'd do it for free if I was pissed GD

He's done an incredible job - looking forward to seeing what we can achieve with him next season. It's going to be another big challenge - starting with a difficult transfer window - but at last we have a manager who knows what he's doing

What is this mad sense of joy and positivity I feel? This lightness of being and strange jocularity of the heart? I think the last time I felt anything like this was when we sent Stevie G packing, back in those heady days of yesteryear...So cheers Michael, for all that you've done! An incredible, almost literally unbelievable turnaround.
Enjoy your holibags, you magnificent man, and take a well-earned rest, then get yourself back down to Stoke for much, much more of the same please...

What a calm yet magnificent job he has done here.
An old school proper manager and he's proved it works.
I am delighted and also awestruck at how well he's done, especially given what a mess this club has been lately.
This has been one of our greatest great escapes.
I couldn't be happier.

People don't usually like to hear "I told you so", but I hope you'll forgive me for repeating what I wrote in my first post in November, following Michael's appointment:
"No-one can guarantee how any appointment will ever turn out, but after 8 years of following him closely [managing NI], I can see no reason whatever why Michael won't turn out to be a huge success at Stoke, not least because he will have interviewed Stoke for the job as much as the other way round! And if he reckons he can get a tune out of Stoke, then he's probably right."
Looking back, I can't think why I was so restrained, since any NI fan could tell you that he's "The Messiah"!

My favourite ever Stoke manager, already.
What a fucking man, he’s saved this club from oblivion and he’s done so with the worst squad (pound for pound) I’ve ever seen.
And he hates the Vale.

You said he was a poor choice and would be sacked within 12 months.... I did and I was wrong. But when others were slagging off the players I consistently reiterated that our squad was easily good enough to win this league with room to spare.

It’s been a business doing pleasure with you Michael.
Thank you, and please sift the shite out of our club for next season.
