Think the title says it all, When I heard Pulis got the boot up his ass, I was hoping we would land him. But I'm also interested who you wanted to Manage Stoke?

Definitely not. He's a busted flush and about 7 years older than TP. I'm not sure a fresh start at another club would have put him right.

Nah, not my cup of tea. I'd actually had him behind hughes in my list. I would have loved to get the job  . I kept my phone near me at all times  you never know! I'd have done it for £50 a week and a lift to the games.. |

And I bet you got Stoke City to win the prem league and champions league in football manager, I mean seriously who hasnt done that  Although I remember a story ages ago about a guy who actually applied for a managers job saying because he was amazingly on Football Manager. |

5Yrs ago then yes i would have been chuffed with o'neil but he seems to have lost his magic even before he joined Sunderland.Hughes is the right man for stoke,two others who it is to soon for are Dougie Freedman and Eddie Howe but in a few years they will be Premiership bosses without doubt.

I admit he was the one I would have picked! I never liked the sacking of TP either! Will give Sparky all my support till he seriously fails (hope he won't!).  |

Better chance of keeping us up, but still pretty uninspiring.

To be fair though to Mr O'Neil there have been problems at Sunderland for ages, not to mention they have made some horrid buys, but he took over a dead ship. I honestly think Sunderland will go down next season.

Not me. I was bloody grateful for Hughes once O'Neill & McLeish started getting mentioned!

I'd rather have had colonel o'neill from stargate.
At least he has a deadpan sense of humour.

No, MoN has spent and wasted far more money than TP. Looks finished as a top flight manager.

Absolutely not. Tactical dinosaur of the highest calibre. I would genuinely have rather kept Pulis.

Rafa would of been my 1st choice..but i dont think we are big enough for him...As for Martin O"Neil...No thanks..to old style..plus he aint the manager he used to be...So Mark Hughes is a good choice...LETS ALL GET BEHIND HIM....COME ON STOKE.... |

O'Neil only started to go backwards when his sidekick left him before Sunderland (John Robertson)so no way did I want him.

Neither O'Neill nor Hughes fitted the stated aim of a manger who will: bring though youth (although MoN has some form re this),playing more attracive football,not wasting money.
O'Neill has won trophies of course
Neither seem massively different to TP tacticly to me.
I just don't get how Hughes has got the job unless the stated aims we're bullshit
