You need to act now before we go down! What a joke of a manager we have ended up with!!! GET RID! He is acting. Patience is a virtue. We can’t keep chopping and changing managers every 10 minutes. We can't go on with a manager who has completely lost the plot either!

How about a 'Meet the manager night' before Christmas, I dare you
Unless it is to present the new manager*

This bloke needs a thread to himself to gauge his time at the helm.
An absolute disaster going from one calamity to another, how on earth does he manage to get everything so wrong, his YouTube comments will haunt me forever re NJ.

Careful what you wish for here. Cannot deny his reign has been an unmitigating disaster but its their funds so they must be gutted also. If they get the hump and pull the pounds plug. Were fooked cimpletely.

It doesn't matter how rich he is,he can't spend it anyway because of FFP.
How much are you allowed to spend in Div 1?
I think it we were to go down to Div 1,we could find ourselves there for quite a while,J Coates just doesn't have a single clue on how to run a football club.
Maybe it's about time his father took him to one side and have a word with him.

There is no getting away from the fact, that he is build an image of the club in the football world, that , stoke city rewards failure and is a cushy number.
Their must be a queue of hopeless players , managers ,coaches and players, that want a bit of a that .

I am getting some people in who know how to run a football club and we are going to take a back seat because if not we are heading for league one and you are going to ruin all the good I did with this club and I want to be remembered for that. I'll still pay you but you are to do absolutely nothing because everything you touch turns to shit. Now trot off and remember son, don't touch the club again.'

An absolute unmitigated disaster from the minute he took over the running from his father.
I really don't see how you can dress it up any other way.

In the past I’ve worked for two family totally run businesses whereby family were the sole say all and end all type attitudes, both were horrible to work for as it was so frustrating knowing they were run by complete idiots but it could be so much different under the correct management, both businesses no longer exist.

Were fooked cimpletely. I've held this view previously. However, he's so bad at running the club I'm now thinking we'd be better off with someone poorer who actually has a plan and an idea. The current incumbent clearly has neither.

Maybe J Coates won't sack him because he doesn't want to believe he has fucked up yet again,if this is the case,he is putting his ego above the state the club is in.

Were fooked cimpletely. Why would they pull the plug? Removing John from his role at the club doesn't mean that the bet365 group will suddenly just sell up. They're a business and businesses don't tend to just shut up shop if one member of staff (even a family member) turns out to be shit and is criticised by customers of the product for it. He'll just be moved to another part of bet365 where his fuck ups don't have to be so visible and calamitous. Why have people got this ridiculous idea that if John goes then that's it and we'll suddenly have to be bought out by some local corner shop and will be doomed for enternity. Do you really think bet365 (or any company as large as them) became the success they are by taking the attitude of "Oh you don't like my son because he's failing dismally? Well, we're all going then and we're taking the ball with us, so there". It's not a family run fruit and veg stall at a local market ffs, it's a global monster in its industry. Businesses like that don't "get the hump" because someone critisicised their family member They care about revenue and profit and with football you don't get that if you fail continuously and businesses will only accept that failure for so long before taking actions themselves. The finances is all they'll care about, not the fact that it might make John not look as good to the fans.

The current incumbent clearly has neither. You don't need bags of cash to get promoted out of this league. You just need a club with a progressive outlook, has succession planning and a group of staff and players that all buy in to the ethos. Luton Town are now making a fist of staying up in the Prem on probably a tenth of our budget, if not less.

Were fooked cimpletely. it's not completely inconceivable we'll be demoted to the third tier again under the reign of a 'Coates' family member. For the third time. they must be gutted but surely they should then bite the bullet and hire some proper football people, or wonder how clubs with smaller resources out-perform us every season. Other fanbases would not just accept one of the worst spells in their history, and neither should we.

I couldn't do it without a lot of help. This is about being humble enough to know you're failing and need to get the appropriate help in. They are just being idiotic currently.

They can take that loose cannon of a yank with them as well. Played FM with our club and look where it’s got us. Dog shit players who can’t even score a penalty at home, vs rock bottom Wednesday.

There's only one constant left in our demise and that's John Coates.
He has to step aside and let football and business people run the club.

Complete lack of leadership at the top of the club. Changing the manager has pretty achieved nothing since Hughes left.

Done with this club and football until he’s cast aside.
