Ok to start his coaching career in the US but he doesn't want to be there too long. Any more than 2 years and opportunities back in the UK will get less and less as time goes by. Before you know it in 5 years time he will be applying for US citizenship. Looks like he’s been enjoying the Southern cuisine! To be fair, I don’t blame him after having to spend his entire life to date watching everything he eats. He spent his life ordering from Aroi Thai and Spices Indian in Nantwich . His wife',s shop was a few yards from my place,especially the Indian he must have picked up from a couple of times a week .

Interesting comment this week about how to turn bad performances into good ones and turning results around by being determined to win the ball back by swarming around the opposition. Watching the WBA game while reading it he was describing exactly what Huddersfield do and what is totally lacking in Stoke's and West Brom's play. It's what Luton did to us as well.

Watching the WBA game while reading it he was describing exactly what Huddersfield do and what is totally lacking in Stoke's and West Brom's play. It's what Luton did to us as well. I recall some years ago Match of the Day did a bit of a feature after one of our games on the way we won the ball back. It showed it was all down to SJW. When he stayed everyone else stayed but the moment he decided to chase down and harry a centre back in unison the other 10 players all closed down the opposition with the clips showing an excellent strike rate of winning the ball back. It was superbly executed and relied on SJW knowing when the right time to press was. If you watch us now it's so disjointed. Sometimes Powell goes, sometimes Campbell goes, sometimes Brown goes. 9 times out of 10 you see that player turn around with his arms in the air as the opposition pop the ball off to a player in acres of space as no one else has followed the press. MON often talks about pressing the ball but if there is no tactical control of it it's useless. It's a massive fault of his.

Another great article about happier times. I always thought Pottermouth was a daft thing for supporters, I never would have thought that it would be played in the dressing room before multiple games. Everybody mentions the Al Pacino scene before Coventry but we were absolute garbage in the first half! It was probably the worst half of football we played that season. I never knew that Gordon Banks did the team talk before the West Ham quarter final. We've been very privileged to have such great players around the club all the time.

How times have changed. Chester is to Shawcross what Thomas the Tank Engine is to Snowpiercer.

I like his reason for why he scored so many goals in the Championship being down to the quality and consistency of Lawrence's crosses and knowing exactly where the ball was going. Along with fight that is what the current team miss, sometimes crosses are hard and low, sometimes near post, far post,floated, driven which means the forwards are having to react rather than anticipate. Someone criticised Tymon the other day for just driving hard low crosses into the box aimed at no one. I think that isn't his problem. Forwards know he's going to do it so should be getting into an area where they will be able to get part of their body on the cross.

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-ryan-shawcross-promotion-6823484After reading this you can see why MoN is failing he cannot motivate the players. We also have the fact that the players do not want motivating and are just happy to pick up their pay with no stress involved. Also the recruitment, are Maja and Philogene-Bidace a match for Fuller and Bidace? If anything this reinforces my opinion we need Pulis back, this shit show has gone on long enough!

He definitely wants the stoke job Who knows how it will go for him, but it's a nice thing to think about in the future if he does indeed turn out to be half decent. I wonder if Ryan may have any reservations though similar to Denis Smith who couldn't manage Stoke because of his affiliation and affection. I know Ryan came from Man U so it may not be an issue, but Stoke has effectively been his footballing journey and been a major part of his life.

He definitely wants the stoke job If that job is manager, I definitely hope he doesn't get it! I like Ryan and have enjoyed his articles as well, but I don't want to be in a position where I want him to sod off, and I don't think he's in any way qualified. Having a coaching license isn't enough for me, given that they all have one. He'd have to prove himself low down elsewhere, or among the senior staff in a lesser role here first.

He heeds to be a coach first. (And it needs to be here, but I'm biased)
Working with the midfield, showing them how to get and keep the ball away from the other team even if your back is killing you? Just a thought

Like his views on attitude, he’s spot on. Won’t be long before the Arsenal dicks find the article and hijack the comments section though.

God, can you imagine having to see Brek Shea all the time.
My family are American, I have a passport, but I'm not sure I could live there because Americans are almost all just absolutely batshit.

Do you think he will ever come back and manage us? Sounds perfect in principle, but I also don’t want anything to tarnish his reputation here.

Filthy article from a filthy rag, designed only to do one thing, and that is to stir up nonsense over the Ramsay incident on the sly. It will never leave Ryan and it will always be dragged up over and over again.

I can imagine the Daily Fail folks rubbing their hands together at writing "I would have snapped your hand off" in the headline thinking about what the Arsenal fans will have to say about that...

Yep and they aren’t failing to disappoint. The losers are piling on there into Ryan as predicted.

They must be from Florida, California or a big city. Most of that group is batshit crazy. Head to the rural northeast or out to the midwest and you'll find (mostly) down to earth people. But there are crazies everywhere. If Break Shea is the example of an American I would be a bit embarrassed. Fortunately that's not "typical".

Yes his articles are really interesting and give an insight into the dressing room and what players are really thinking. I've never heard an ex player being so honest and it shows he puts a lot of thought into his articles rather than just churning out platitudes.
