I’m sure there will be a number of free agents either at the game or watching it online.

I like it, if he as tenacious and hard working as he was as a player then that does for me. Also these fucking lillywhitefankies in our team need some somebody to take them to task. Look where pandering to them has got us, so if we do eventually go down I’d rather it was because the useless twats were given 6 months of hell rather than someone being precious with their feelings.

Feels to me that Eustace would be like appointing an inexperienced Rowett

I have a feeling Neil was hard on them which is why, allegedy they hated him. Modern managers need an iron fist but the ability to keep the players on-board.. Shame though, I'd have them running up hills for a week morning and afternoon to get em fit. Don't know if it's try but didn't preseason under Pulis consist of weeks of pure fitness work before a football was touched....old school but effective.

I'd take Eustace, no bother.
The worry is, it's a sign of the board being unwilling to change their ways despite years of failure.

Running up and down hills made me recall a Ceramic City Clipper with a very youthful Garth Crooks in pre-season training on the cover, presumably from a match against us. It's probably still in a box somewhere. Ah time!

Perhaps he is going to apply for the West Brom job. Now that would be worth seeing... As stoke smash in an injury time winner, corberan rips off his wba anorak to show he's wearing the stoke shirt underneath. runs to the away fans beating his chest before knee sliding infront of the hysterical stokies. A new messiah has arrived.

I'll wait until it's official, I didn't fancy him as boss when Neil was here and I don't now either now he's gone.
I'll never underestimate Stoke's ability to underwhelm me though

He met with John again yesterday evening so I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before it’s confirmed..

If true, then it's an absolutely bone-idle, lazy, uninspiring decision showing a complete lack of ambition and lack of connection to what most fans want to see for their club. But then what do we expect from this chairman? Wish he'd get some proper football people in to run the club and take a back seat when it comes to appointing managers, he hasn't got a clue

If we are going for another boring uninspirational British manager - then why not just save some money and let Gallagher do it - what have we got lose, he knows the players got a tune out of them last week.

It's absolutely barking mad to appoint SJE. This isn't going to be any different from what's gone before except this time we're more likely to get relegated. I have nothing against Eustace and I'm sure he can carve a decent managerial career out but this is career suicide. How CAN we get things so wrong? Why can't people SEE what's needed? I, as always , as a Stoke supporter am happy to be proved wrong but this has disaster and lack of ambition and lack of ability to recognise what's needed written in huge letters all over it. What an absolute f£ck up I'm afraid I'm losing the will and patience now to even bother carrying on supporting. The commentary's sh!t and that was my way of having a matchday experience and this absolute incompetence makes me feel like I'm having the p!ss taken out of me. What a shame. We got a taste of the high life for a snapshot in time only to be be put firmly back in our place. It's utterly bizarre what's happened over these last few years.

If its got to be another British manager there are better options out there. This just confirms if true that the Coates family will not change & have no ambition for the club. I can see another manager search in 12 months time.
