Gary, did you just patronise me? To tell me to chant for Rory because I don’t approve of Bojan not being there? Well why don’t you pay your HARD EARNED cash and much needed time off work and follow Stoke? Then be told indirectly that I’m a dick and should chant for Rory? You are the chief representative of Stoke City and for you to disparage people who GENUINELY LOVE the club is unacceptable. You’ve lost me mate. You’ll never be better than us and the club. Spot on. Mangers/players come and go in the end they are no more than caretakers. The fans are the club and will be there long after they are gone, how they are remembered is up to them. The club is ours, and from generation to generation no matter what league we are in we will be there following the club, so don't you dare question the fans show some respect

I hope you are right. What do you base your view on, recent history would suggest that the board will do no such thing and will delay making any decision until it is too late. As I say I do hope you are right if so then surely the trigger has to be pulled without delay They aren’t stupid and unlike many owners turn up and watch the games. They will be as bemused and disappointed as the rest of us. best case scenario they are already sounding out a replacement. I didn't expect us to be ripping up the league but this guy is sucking my love of the game. I just hope they aren't saying to themselves give him another game or so and we fluke a win on New Years day.

I'm going for condescending snide comments about the fans, along the lines of fans need to understand that you cant expect us to win every game and have forgotten we are just off a long undefeated run. Or some such crap. Of course the interview I want him to give runs along the lines of..."I've just got off the phone to the chairman and confirm I have tendered my resignation"

I can’t see this going on - there isn’t even a hint of a light at the end of the tunnel. I think the board will - contrary to popular opinion - take action soon. I hope you are right. What do you base your view on, recent history would suggest that the board will do no such thing and will delay making any decision until it is too late.

Not for the premiership and some championship clubs but for the lower reaches of the league yes and that’s why the blackouts there Hardcore supporters will always go a freezeing cold sat with driving rain bury are home to say Wycombe at the same time you can sit at home and watch manutd v Everton the casual fan or two are going to say sod this I’m stopping home couple of hundred fans not turning up can have a big effect on smaller clubs But dodgy streaming has been around for years and this situation hasn't happened, I don't buy it at all, and if they're such a half-arsed fan that they'd prefer to watch another fixture then there are tons of other distractions that would pull them away. I would put money on there being sod all change to crowds. It's a participatory experience being at a match and no TV game can compare to going, it'll always be the preferred option for 99% of fans as long as circumstances allow them to. There's only one way to know for sure though and that's to trial it. There's no real reason to not have every game televised on red button either. Having every game on tv behind the red button would probably to sky selling a season ticket pay x and you can watch all your teams league games

Playing well and not winning is lethal it basically means you cant get much better! I don't know this just feels different than other seasons maybe I'm just on a bit of a downer but I really do fear for us everything at the moment is pointing in one direction and it isnt up Mate I’m just as pissed off as you tbh but I’m trying to look at the bigger picture after today’s 1st half performance. fair comment and to prove I'm not a total miserable git I thought that Woods was top draw today and will be a big player for us and Afobe looks a natural finisher we did create a lot of chances today and at times played some decent football, my God Stoke will drive you nuts! anyway time to find some beer beat Swansea on Tuesday to make all well with the world! good chating

I understand what you are saying and to be fair it's a reasonable point, but it's not an indifferent start its a terrible start. The big problem and why I would suggest that this is different than the managers you cite is the circumstances are totally different. We are very close to the point where the season is a write off as far as promotion is concerned and fail to go up this season and the falling revenue next season means that in all likelihood we will stuck for many many years I accept its different circumstances but it doesn’t take 5 minutes to build your own team especially in the championship.Today’s performance wasn’t one of a team going into league one next season imo Playing well and not winning is lethal it basically means you cant get much better! I don't know this just feels different than other seasons maybe I'm just on a bit of a downer but I really do fear for us everything at the moment is pointing in one direction and it isnt up

When is it? How long do you give him 10 games 20 games until we are 24th? Id give him the same time that Pulis/Macari got after indifferent starts.

sorry but Rowett can fuck off right now. Lets all happy clap and sit back patiently and watch us slide to league 1 I would never ever happy clap but changing the manager now is not the answer imo When is it? How long do you give him 10 games 20 games until we are 24th?

Of course but the subs wrong and too late. Rowett has form ask any Derby fan Mate I get that drummed into me everyday but today we’d have been out of sight if we’d have taken our chances. He’s just said he took Etebo off because he looked knackered after travelling all week🤔 It's a results business. Can you hand on heart say 1 win in 7 1 clean sheet in 7 20th in the league represents good job performance. I know if my performance was 14% and falling I wouldn't have to worry about the drive to work much longer!

it's a results business you cant sack the players and the end of day 20th in the league one win in 7 league games one clean sheet in 7 seven league games a league win rate of 14% and falling is quite simply never ever going to be good enough. How long do you need? ow bad does it have to get before you decide it's never going to get better?

Not playing too bad. Just acclamatising to the new division and are a tad unlucky. We have lost 50% of our league games are conceding an average of 2 goals per game have now missed 6 out of our last penalties our joint leading goal scorer is a left back who almost everyone agrees is dog shit our big summer signing a striker started today on the bench then played right wing we have centre half’s who have the turning circle of the titanic and about the same positional sense but I guess it will be fine once we acclimatise!

He claimed that Rowett wanted to change both full backs but was stopped by the board and also that Rowett didn't initially want Bauer and Allen to be offered new contracts! Staggering if true. I'd like to hear the audio of it. Just who is running the show down there? Fatman and Robin if Clarke is right

Some on another thread used a cooking analogy so lets follow that through..... Your favorite restaurant has for 10 years operated a top class menu ok not always with great success and a bit hit and miss in quality but still a decent meal. Then following a steady decline caused in part by terrible decision making and leadership you have a meal which is so bad it makes you sick its just awful. In response the restaurant is downgraded but says ok we admit things went totally wrong but we've got a new chef hes young up and coming knows this scene like the back of his hand the kicker is we are going to change you the same price and the chef will still have to use most of last years ingredients but why not give us a try. So you do and meal is even worse than before and shows no signs of getting better you feel totally justified at complaining to the management and venting your frustration
