he spoke quite well actually. re-affirmed that Bojan wasn't anything like the £3 mill quoted and was just a nominal figure,knows he didn't have the greatest last couple of years but should come good with an arm around his shoulder, happy with the squad they were left and have improved on it and are possibly still looking at bringing in 1 or 2 more but keeping cards close to their chest.
would have been better without Dominic cork sounding like an excited schoolboy though

Either way it's win win for us

Yep that's him

He's a Stoke fan and, like many of us, defended Pulis as our manager when he was in charge. He just passed his opinion like the rest of us mate and, like the rest of us, he now supports the current manager who is doing an excellent job. I can't think it's right to have a go at him because he thought Pulis didn't deserve to be sacked. I, and many others, didn't think so either but nothing is forever and Stoke needed to change things and we all fully support our current manager. Hughes is doing a fantastic job.

I think he was a bit unbalanced in his view, mate. It was as if we were going to drop through the leagues when Tone left and according to Corky all was rosy in the garden prior to TP's departure. I didn't hear any praise for Hughes for ages so for him to start getting giddy now is a bit rich to some (me included) I guess. Hopefully he's seen the error of his ways now.

The Pulis debate rolled on for a long time and was pretty devisive at times. The majority of those of us that supported him accepted that things had to change and are delighted at the way Hughes has gone about things. Jammo: Fair comment mate.

Some sites are suggesting that Barcelona have a buy-back clause on Bojan, similar to the one written into his contract when he signed for Roma in 2011.
I'm not sure it'll be so stringent though, as he only had one year left on his current Barca contract.

Fair do's mate. The Pulis debate rolled on for a long time and was pretty devisive at times. The majority of those of us that supported him accepted that things had to change and are delighted at the way Hughes has gone about things. Jammo: Fair comment mate. the pulis debate is pretty dead in the water now anyone against hughes would most likely be on not liking the man and thats fair enough, only the maddest of stoke fans and tazi would still bang on that weve done the wrong thing Agreed. Most rational people seem to agree that Pulis did a great job before losing his way in his last couple of seasons. Despite that the club, squad and structure he left behind provided a solid base for MH and his team. Even still the job facing Hughes was very difficult, to get us to where we are now in such a short space of time is a great achievement. We have been lucky to have two managers who appear to genuinely care about the club and see/saw themselves as honoured to manage Stoke City. For what its worth i think we have upgraded in appointing Hughes but that doesn't mean that TPs achievements should be belittled. We are where we are because of the actions of three men in particular. PC, TP and MH. We stand on the verge of something very special.

Fall for what one?
You haven't actually said anything have you?
Is it 49%, 83%, 6%, what?
You've told us it isn't 50% so there's a possibility it could be any one of another 99 possibilities.
Why say anything in the first place, if you're not going to say what it is?
