Just think, we could have Ryan, Walters and Delap as first team coaches. Marc Wilson could be step over coach. Huth could be director of football.
We could have Wilko and Dicko back as "headbutt a wall coach". We could bring Mama back to coach the forwards on how to play Vinegar Tits' false number 10 role.
We could even think outside the box and bring back Kenwyne Jones to coach backflips.

Not this 'knows the club' bollocks again. Not saying it would work, just saying he would be given time and that’s what this club needs now to turn it around. It’s not bollocks if the said person actually cares for the club.

Didn’t go so well with lampard at Chelsea. I think you underestimate how fickle supporters can be The fans didn’t really turn on Lampard did they ? It was the hierarchy who wanted a bigger name wasn’t it ? Not a bigger name, just a more competent manager.

I think the only way forward now is to employ a manager who will be given lots of time, who the fans won’t turn on. Like a Shawcross who no matter what the fans will respect. Someone who knows the club inside out. Another outsider will just be given no time and that is what this club needs now, time. Would love to see Shawcross as manager with Walters as assistant or something along those lines

We talk about a new manager when this one is no longer with us,until then it’s absolutely pointless No need for you to post on it then. Problem solved

Someone who can galvanise what on paper is a very decent squad but currently play like a bunch of fannies. Someone with just a hint of tactical nous and capable of throwing a hairdryer or two.

I keep reading that we have a "good squad on paper" and I would agree that the current squad is better than we have had in the last 2 or 3 seasons, but is it really a GOOD squad? Can we yet put out a GOOD side? We have NO full backs We have 1 wing back not 2 (should MON wish to go back to that formation) We have a veteran CB, who is currently head and shoulders above all around him, plus 2 good youngsters, who try to play the right way but inevitably make the odd mistake We have just 1 central striker...who is rarely fit plus a guy who is just bedding in and recovering from covid, and an energetic JB who is arguably better playing on the right as opposed to down the middle We have our best finisher struggling to get fit / back to form We have arguably 3 of the best creative midfielders in the division, but 2 are not fit and the other is just back from injury We have 2 tricky wingers, who are VERY young and inexperienced, so prone to making poor decisions at times We have 1 half decent 'keeper, who is also young and prone to the odd lapse, or 3 We have 2 combative midfielders, although 1 is getting on a bit (didn't stop him being MotM last night) So, what we have is a reasonable squad, with some lack of balance. what we also have, depending on who we keep and who we bring in during the Summer, is potential to do much better than we have this season...but then, it's the hope that destroys you

I don't know if his name has been mentioned earlier, but I think that Paul Warne the Rotherham manager could do a very good job with our current squad of players. He has got his team well coached, and playing entertaining football. He does not have anything like the budget that MON enjoys at Stoke. Other than him, I think Wayne Rooney would be a great 'Macari style' appointment for us. Our board of directors must realise that they will soon be trying to sell season tickets to thousands of Stoke fans.This will prove difficult, in my opinion, as the fans have little or no hope for future entertainment or promotion as long as MON is manager.

Do Rotherham play entertaining football? I thought Warne had a reputation as a bit of a hoof merchant?

Speaking of Holloway, if he went blackpoolesque gung ho between now and the end of season I'd bring him in tomorrow until the end of season because that's the only thing that's getting us back into contention now. More realistic as I've said Rooster for the remaining games for me until an obvious candidate becomes available, he might even look the part himself, who knows

The Coates regime have been pissing about with Managers and seen the parachute payments worthless. What do they think??? Does anyone know??? Lot of Stokies are not happy with MON, director of recruitment going back to Millwall (WTF), results relagation standard. Scholes has pissed off unscathed. What is and has been going on at Stoke? Fill the corners in!!

Pay as you play may be an idea with Stoke. (Notice the exodus). Contrast that with the Pulis era. Everyone turning up for work.
