Boro fan stirring up shit 2 days before a massive game for us agains them. Hmmmm Crossed my mind, but arguably a big game for us, but probably just the first of about 12 season-ending nothing games for them? Bonus points for the Inchy Heath line if he's making it all up though. I bet he pissed himself when he thought of that

It’s also clever click bait, he knows full well that kind of article will split Stoke fans right down the middle.

I can see SS being on the brink part being not far off, especially if we lose, but I am certain TP wouldn't be on the wish list, just too divisive.

TP would look at the squad and immediately and rightly think, there's not enough there to work with and damage my reputation. Nah... he'd relish the challenge. Bonham Wilmot McNally Rose Gooch Junior Pearson Thompson Johnson Wesley Ennis

I'm going to say a prayer before bed that TP sees sense and gets his arse unretired.

Even TP will need defenders! He'll do just as badly as AN and SS.

And it will not make a difference to the supporters or the result Saturday.

There was me thinking Gareth Ainsworth was the ultimate wind up.
Face it the papers love kicking this city and our club, just fucking ignore them.

After seeing Millwall pull the trigger and hire back a club legend for them, it did cross my mind that it wouldn’t surprise me if we followed suit and tried the same. Don’t think it’ll happen mind you but I won’t be shocked if it does.

In similar fashion to the famous Villa game.
"Good God almighty! What in the blue hell is happening here? Stoke City are down 1-0 at halftime, and it's looking like Middlesbrough has them on the ropes! But wait, what's this? Is that... It can't be! It is! It's Tony Pulis! The legendary ex-manager of Stoke City, making his way down the tunnel with a swagger that would make Stone Cold Steve Austin proud! And what's that on his head? By gawd, it's a cap with tins of beer attached to the sides! He's cracking them open and chugging them down like a man possessed! Stone Cold would be proud of that beer bash!
But wait, there's more! Pulis isn't just here to drink beer, folks. He's here to lead Stoke City back from the brink! He's tagged in by current manager Steve Schumacker, and the crowd is going wild! Pulis is rallying the troops, giving them the pep talk of a lifetime! And here they come, charging back onto the pitch with a fire in their eyes that can't be extinguished!
And would you look at that! Stoke City is like a whole new team out there! They're pressing forward with relentless aggression, and Middlesbrough just can't handle it! Goal! Stoke City equalize, and the crowd erupts in jubilation! But they're not done yet, folks. They're hungry for more, and Pulis is leading the charge!
And there it is! The final whistle blows, and Stoke City has pulled off the impossible! They've come back from 1-0 down at halftime to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Tony Pulis, with his beer-soaked cap and never-say-die attitude, has inspired his team to a shock comeback win! Stone Cold Steve Austin himself would raise a glass to that performance! What a night for Stoke City, what a night for football!"

Big fan of TP but we dont need him back as manager Just in spirit As we’ve seen on this thread and otters, we can all pick an ‘AI generated Pulis squad’ The meat and potatoes defenders The cage The mama role , and so forth
That’s what Schumacher should do, if he has any sense
That plus SJW standing on the sidelines bellowing GGGOOOAARRN MYSELF Should steer us clear

Although don't suppose you've got to be be Mystic Meg to foresee we may be forced into acting if things go badly on Saturday, and the likely field of candidates is about as inviting as a plate of sprouts

I've got no doubt that Schumacher is just one game away from the sack at this point. As early as Saturday night if we get beat. Adrian Heath is just certifiable bollocks at this point, but he absolutely fits into a Championship 'Lambert' and everything that John would reach for in a panic riddled crisis.

Yeah I'd say more likely than not he'll go if we lose. The Heath mention/rumour/fever dream is just too out there to even get a handle on. It'd make the Alan Durban and Lambo moves look like the most natural things ever - although if Schuey does depart, whoever we go for will have to be a bit out there.

TP selection process: who do we have 6ft 4inch plus, how many mean feckers, who can hurl a ball 40 yards from a throw-in, do we have at least 4 players who can get their head on the ball at either end, do we have at least one tank who can run through a brick wall up front. TP wont find a solitary soul that fits his bill - he could take them all to an army barracks to toughen em up, wouldn't be the first time if he can line em all up against a wall though and also JC then that would be ok.

Football online journalists check forums of clubs in trouble, see posts mentioning ex managers, type stories of it being "thought of".
It's absolute bollocks.
