I am old enough to remember back in the 60’s when a large group of fans gathered outside the main stand chanting ‘Waddington out’ after another home defeat and with us facing relegation. The board decided to stick and a few short years later we won the league cup and were challenging for the title. My advice would be hang on in there show patience and tolerance and buckle up for what could be a bumpy ride! AN is still well ahead of Waddo in terms of number of victories in his first 50 games. And he is level pegging with TP.

His approval ratings are no doubt lower at this point than any of our previous managers prior to them getting the sack.
Just boot him Stoke FFS.

I think by & large the fan base would be up for a change, unfortunately the board, or should I say John Coates don't agree 😳

This poll is on X and will therefore be picked up by all everyone who is addicted to social media. I'm convinced that X is monitored by the club, it should at least make them sit up and notice what the fanbase is saying - 58% out is the majority share. It should give them all a kick up the arse and make them take notice - even if they dont read the Oatcake posts.

Atmosphere in the ground going toxic, big drop off in renewals, or him saying something that pisses them off will do the trick. Polls, no chance.

It’s great, it allows us to think what we say and post is in some way important when it actually isn’t of any consequence whatsoever and improves our conduct in the real world because we’ve got our frustrations out there. In that sense has it made our views more influential or less?

In, takes ages turn a tanker around. We've tried Rowett, Jones, and O'Neil they failed though I thought On O'Neil did ok (I would have given him money after he did a good clear out and got FFP back on track.) Neil needs time, it's sometimes hard to tell what he's trying, tactics etc., but if we sack him it's back to square one.

I'm getting more indifferent to all this manager stuff as time ticks by, it just hasn't seemed to matter with this club. So may be the problem is elsewhere.

Good thread and poll really. People who suggest him in are also saying they think he should be gone if he fails in the not too distant future, but then refer to 2 windows or even more... Which is contradictory at best, in other words cognitive dissonance.
Those that want him out generally use statistics and evidence to back up his absolute failure to date, even with things considered.
At the end of the day if he fails to turn it around he will be gone, and either we will get relegated or we won't but this season is another waste/bedding in/transition season just like the last 6 abject failures.
His statistics really are horrendous and the worst part is they keep getting worse not better over time.

If we lose today, there has certainly got to be a consideration for his removal. to lose three games to likely relegation teams on the trot is alarming.
The players seem to be struggling to find any kind of rhythm in their play. manager has to take responsibility.

I honestly didnot think I'd be saying this as I'm struggling to understand, YET AGAIN, what goes wrong. I truely believed that AN was the man for the job. I know we struggled with injuries and have had some very poor refereeing decisions going our way but it's gone completely chaotic. It was always going to be difficult changing the backroom staff, medical staff and players and I feel he's had some bad luck. We take a step forward and then predictably next match or three, four steps back. It's actually quite odd! So, I want him to turn it around, I want the players to unite, pull together and realsie that there are sh!t times as well as the highs. We can't KEEP changing Managers. It's almost as though our recent reputation for doing so has become the 'go-to'. The players need to take some responsibility here and we, the fans should do our best to support AN and the team through thick and thin. However, I'm guessing by some of AN's stoic comments about not quitting he's already had a 'little chat' with the Chairman. The only problem is, even if they did sack him they wont have a decent replacement lined up as I fear we're beginning to look like the Poisoned Chalice of management. I think we're just going to have to dig deep and ride this one out. I think AN should get a plan and a settled team he can trust and not tinker too much. Give a manager TOO much choice and it goes haywire. So, deep breath....GOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN STOKE, GOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN AN. Let's start afresh, let's focus, let's all pull together. Remember, players read this site. In reality, we are just a small minority of supporters mouthing off on a computer. We are not the mouthpiece for the world of Stoke City supporters but in this strange online world we immerse ourselves in our comments and opinions could lead a reader to believe everyone felt that way. We certainly help to breed negativity with a lot of our threads. I know it's a tough time to be a supporter but I'm going to lend my support to the management and players and hope that they repay it.Over to you AN and team....
