Will there be a testimonial game for Shawcross? Were it not for the pandemic, he probably would have had one. I’m not sure the pandemic played a part, did it? His 10 year anniversary was 2+ years before covid hit.

The massive German Youth is at Leicester. And where's Harry just gone? Just saying like. Didn't realise that, thought he'd gone back home and stayed there.

I can't say which club as he hasn't made it public knowledge - just wanted you to know that at present he couldn't work for us anyway. If you think this is look-at-me, then you couldn't be more wrong. Simply telling you what's happening. I think it was the Burnley match when he covered for Radio Stoke I was told he kept referring to Stoke as “you” and not “we” when talking to Nigel Johnson I’m sure it was confirmed on here Not knocking him far from it the bloke is a legend but I found that a bit odd and quite sad to hear tbh Anyway if he got a job at SCFC I want it because he’s earned it and not because he’s called Ryan Shawcross He's on Radio Stoke right now referring to us as 'we', for what it's worth. Not that I disagree with your final point about him getting a job here.

I thought the reasons for the subs was clear We were “going” for it and vulnerable on the counter with tired midfield legs

I like Shawcross' philosophy on how to play football. He has been diplomatically critical of AN and the players for their negativity in attacking. For example he is a big advocate of having the wing backs take more risks by playing much higher up the pitch. He is also not a fan of over playing in the final third. Attack the opposition at pace, get men in the box quickly, deliver the ball into the box quickly (that does not necessarily mean a 50yd hoof) I also find him a reasonable pundit. There was a point in the game where the Stoke player was impeded. Radio Stoke were all over it in their undrstandably biased way saying it was a clear and obvious foul. Shawcross dismissed it out of hand.. 'not a foul, the player fell over far too easily, should have stood up and competed, don't like to see that kind of nonsense etc. etc' A breath of fresh air. Not many of the other pundits on Radio Stoke would have been so forthright in their views on such an incident. Gabriel Zakuani seems a lovely fellow but will always try and find the words to support the Radio Stoke interpretation even though you can clearly tell he doesn't necessarily agree.

I would say without doubt it's hurting him as much as us at the moment as he clearly loves our club. The blokes a legend in my eyes and he can do no wrong, from the moment he took to the pitch at Cardiff away and banged in the winner sending us into a mental to the last game he played for us he gave his all and led us to places I never thought I'd see our club get to. It's safe to say he should never have to buy a drink in his life if he's out in and around the area. I think he will make it in management one day wherever that is because the blokes a winner and a leader.

Grant a testimonial.
Appoint him to a well payed staff role within the club based on nothing whatsoever other than fanbase sentiment alone.
That works well, eh Rory?

He was dropped after that first game defeat at Bolton and only returned v Tottenham in September and was absolutely superb This place was alive saying he’s not good enough and needs to go out on loan back into the championship where Ipswich and Derby were rumoured to be sniffing Gotta love the Oatcake

That works well, eh Rory? I don't think anyone wants him at a role within the club unless his ability as a coach warrants it do they? As for him as a player I think he makes it into alot of people's all time Stoke eleven and rightfully so, he was the best defender I've ever seen play for us. He also deserves a testimonial and he played for us for fourteen years which is very rare these days.

I think its attractive for a lot of clubs who are struggling to seek to bring back players who they have strong affiliations with as part of the coaching staff or the wider organisation. I certainly think among that generation of players who have moved into coaching Ryan probably has the best chance and clearly demonstrates an ability to translate what he sees in the game down into understandable language.
My issue is I think hiring previous players who were such a force for such a long time actually entrenches failing club cultures rather than uplifting and improving them where needed.

That’s how the game should be played. Unfortunately nowadays if you do that, ie don’t go down and win a foul then you’re disadvantaging yourself and the team. Ryan might need to ‘get with the times’ if he decides to go into football coaching as he’s behind the times on that one.

Good watch that. Seems to be really picky on the attention to detail. As a team, tidying up the little bits and bats can turn you from a decent team into a great team. He certainly looks like he's got a good drive and energy for coaching. Look forward to seeing his progression and where he ends up for his first role.

Needs to prove himself elsewhere before I'd want him here as a coach / manager. Listening to him commentate I definitely think he needs to work on his communication skills before he starts coaching professionally at a decent level.

Yeah not sure what commentating has to do with coaching/management.
Gary Neville is a very good broadcaster but seemingly a shit football manager.
Good luck to him.

Basic but I thought his communication was very good. What he did, that which bad teachers do not, is he asked the players direct questions. He didn't just instruct them, he taught them. A very good sign. (Rory did not do this in that video on practicing defending from corners.)
