Im sat here watching a club with players which look like they give no shit, cant score goals, with pissed off fans, a pissed off manager. Ive done this for 5 years now weekend in and out and i dont know how much longer i, and most fans can watch it. Ive just watched Faes run from the half way line, all the way through our midfield , and defence. Hes a defender too.
What happens next?

Nothing will change until the Coates family are removed from this club. |

It’s not really about today, we already know Leicester are light years ahead.
But we are deep in the doldrums. Schumacher has a huge job on his hands.
Today makes me slightly less confident in his ability to drag us out of it.

Say what you want about net spend, we’ve spent millions building this squad and it’s been a disaster. Getting humiliated every fucking home game, sick of it.

Hate to agree with you, that's precisely how I felt 3 or 4 years ago, been twice since, miss the crowd and bants, but sure as hell dont miss the turgid football week in and week out. Gonna take a massive sea change for me to go back. And no, I'm not a glory hunter, fair weather fan, I've seen us in real dire straits, but playing good, playing with passion and putting in a shift.. This current crop are not the Stoke City I have supported for over 50 years.. |

We sit there saying we've got quality , we spend money. Its the passion and the emotion that counts and at the moment, no one gives a fucking shit in the world.

John coates has happened to our club.
Total useless unintelligent bloke. Handed the reigns from his unfortunate Father who felt sorry for him. Unlike his extremely successful sister. John is thick as fuck.

If the rumours of almost all the squad been whored around trying to sell, there’s only one outcome there. Not saying it’s true but if there’s some truth then the current squad will just down tools

Fundamentally it’s Stoke doing what Stoke does.
History tells us we are, more often than not, bleedin’ useless.

I'm at the point I think, where I'd probably take relegation if it meant that we'd tear up whatever the strategic plan is (though I'd be surprised if it even existed), have a reset, clearout, & start again.
We're pissing in the wind, and have been for fucking years. We can't compete in this league. Seasons in, still.
It's questionable whether, if were performing at this level in the PL, season in & out, even that would be OK? At this current level, it's nowhere near acceptable.

I think it's just a case of staying up this season and yet another reset in the summer. This will be the last chance with FFP.

So pissed off tonight. Groundhog Day again.
Poor players
Poor manager recruitment (we needed a experienced guy)
Poor freaking management team at the club
Not addressing key positions (Again) in a transfer window.
6 years we’ve been arsing this up now and getting slightly worse

John is thick as fuck. Indeed. He's the idiot child that has been given a few quid and told to go play with his toy, SCFC. That keeps him from messing with the real money maker, Bet365. |

This current crop are not the Stoke City I have supported for over 50 years.. I know how you feel mate. I’ve been going since 1973 but this season I gave up my season ticket for the first time in decades. Not because we’ve been crap ( I’ve stuck with the club through 5 relegation seasons) but due to the lack of passion shown on the pitch. I have been twice this season (Leeds and Watford, both wins ironically) but have spent the rest of the season in the company of Radio Stoke. I will always support the club but I’m sad to say that currently the enthusiasm to attend every game has been gradually drummed out of me over the past five years. |

I’ve said it before, but the minute things turned sour in the premier league was the beginning of the rot that has engrained itself into the very fabric of the club. The stench of it is everywhere, practically in ever blade of grass and in every drop of paint on the walls.
The sheer number of managers and players we have ran through proves that no matter who is on the pitch and at the helm, the rot seemingly cannot be stopped despite the ever growing list of changes and tactics used - like some sort of curse. Until the root cause of the problems in this football club are eliminated, we will continue free falling and at best, just about surviving. But the free fall is more likely right now, league 1 is on the cards.
No matter how uncomfortable a discussion it likely is for some, the spotlight needs firmly placing on the Coates family at this point.

It’s just depressing isn’t it, when was the last time any of us felt excited about going to a home game? It’s actually a bloody ordeal, we should actually be paid to watch this shit and not vice versa. It’s really now gone beyond a joke and thousands of season ticket holders will be seriously considering next season as the time to give up. I reckon we’ve got about 8-10K that actually come now given how shit we are, which leaves another 8-10K of season ticket holders who just don’t turn up. I’m seriously considering giving up on going, it costs me time and money and I get zero enjoyment out of it currently. |

The sad thing for me that today has highlighted is Leicester City are exactly what we should have been when the 2018/19 season began having just been relegated.
& to see the top 3 this evening of Leicester, Southampton & Leeds shows all three relegated clubs are all there or there abouts in the mix to be in the promotion shake up at the first attempt. Guessing one of these clubs will be disappointed & have to contend with a Play Off Place. Yet we haven't managed a top half finish since we re-entered the Championship, nevermind the happiness even a play off place would have given us!
Today for me is the serious wake up call that we are preparing for a relegation battle, no two ways about that. I can't see where our next points are coming from nevermind next win!
A glance of the league table is also scary right now, position aside our goal difference is now shockingly bad. -14 is equal to QPR & Huddersfield.
Now if it comes down to that 3rd bottom finish being scrapped ouver come May then goal difference could well come into play! 🙄😬
A good goal difference is as good as an extra point!

No spine to the team literally and figuratively A spineless team populated with spineless players. Only burger and Bae get a pass today. The rest of em I'd have doing a 10k on Monday. And if they can't do sub 40 mins then do it again you little shits. |

I'd honestly rather be challenging Top 6 in League One, than fuck-arsing around struggling to make 15th every season in the Championship. I lost interest in being a nothing club, in a shit league, 3 seasons ago. |
