Get Alex gone. Get in people who know how to run a football club. And fuck off Jon Coates, recruit someone who actually knows a thing or two about football. DOF.

It's just astonishing. Another wank miserable season over. No hope at all of being one of the better teams in the league.

Bit extreme ain't it?
The last 7 years have been pretty fucking awful to be fair, but hate my club? No. I must still love them, or at least I am subconsciously discovering a hidden penchant for S and M (minus the fun).
Hate the "process", and the various mercenaries who have conned a living out of us, both on and off the pitch? Absolutely, and the buck has to rest with the Coates family - they hired people who turned out to be mercenaries and they hired the people who hired other people who also turned out to be mercenaries. Yes, they love the club (well Peter does anyway) but their dithering on key decisions, loyalty to the wrong people and outdated model of running a football club has led us to the darkest days in our history. You can argue that we had success with Lou and TP, but I genuinely believe that was in spite of the Coates family.

It’s remarkable isn’t it. This malaise we’ve been in for half a decade is killing football for me as a sport/hobby, combined with farces like the Qatar World Cup and so on. Amazing what Stoke can do to a man.

In the years since we were relegated we haven't even challenged for a play off place. Zero interest in most of the games with only gaining enough points to avoid relegation being the highlight An absolute S***show of a club. It's pretty obvious no progress will be made while it's run by the owners son runs things. |

I think he owns a share of the club and in the board. The only way to get rid of JC is buy him out, which is what is needed but isn’t going to happen, unless the board, which includes his father does the right thing. Peter Coates doesn’t like to fire managers - there’s no way he’ll fire his son. |

Really is depressing reading.
The clubs really is a mess.
We’re going nowhere.
We’re all getting fed up of venting and posting the same old shit season after season. At what point are there protests or at least some more vocal activity in the ground?
Unbelievable it’s never happened. Complete apathy.

You can argue that we had success with Lou and TP, but I genuinely believe that was in spite of the Coates family. You weren’t around in early 90s then under Alan Ball when we finished 14th in Div 3? Our lowest ever position in the FL were our darkest days imo. Yes it’s dire at the present and we’ve been falling to this for 7 years but nowhere near the plummet from Div 2 we experienced in early 90s with home crowds regularly 10k and under and the humiliation of Vale finishing above us. I would argue that 97-98 was equally as bad as we fell to 3rd tier again. |

I would argue that 97-98 was equally as bad as we fell to 3rd tier again. I'm 33 and been coming regularly since about 1997 with the odd game beforehand. I agree, we were an absolute mess at the time, and even the following season when we started well back in the third division but soon got found out - regular 4 goal hammerings by the likes of Bournemouth, Bristol Rovers and Gillingham were character building to say the least. The Point I'm making is that the Coates family owned the club back then too, when we fell into the old third division both in 1990 and 1998 so may dine off the prem promotion (and to a lesser extent under Lou) but have, over the course of time at least as much of a hindrance to as they have been a help. |
