Unfortunately, its not just been a bad start to the season, its been a continuation of the shambles at the end of last season, along with no signings in the two key areas we need them and no change in our pedantic play. I know that we have had a few injuries in that run, but something doesn't look quite right. It almost reminds me of the run of games leading up to Pulis's sacking.
Luckily its still early days, so a few wins will push us back up the table, but if we lose the 4 league games between this international break and the next one, then serious questions will need to be asked as to whether Sparky is still the right man to lead us forward.

Can't you think for yourself? And why do they have to be out of work - we're a top 10 PL side with a Chairman ready to spend. It's a cracking job to get. I ask again - who you going for?

nice one,i cannot see in all the time that coates has been chairman he has not compensated another club for there manager,and never had a foreign one neither.so its a small pond we would be fishing in unless this club decide to have some ambition and go foreign because british managers just dont cut the mustard.

"Who would you replace Hughes with?" is likely the wrong question.
If a decision has been made that an employee is not performing, it's not best practice to keep them around for want of an alternative.
Any organization worth its salt should have a succession planning process. Hughes could get hit by a bus, offered a better job, or he could have us sitting in the relegation zone in January. In each instance (and many others I'm sure we all could think of) he'd need to be replaced.
No matter the scenario, Coates, the Board, and their advisors will have a network of experts to call upon to identify and evaluate prospective replacements. Top flight opportunities are a tremendous combination of rare, sought after and rewarding - I'm confident there would be many interested and qualified managers.
I think the better questions are: Are we on the right track or wrong track? Do changes need to be made to the coaching and executive staff supporting Hughes? Is Hughes the best option to take this team to the next level?

We played in Europe not so very long ago. Fair point. But do you think our future is better served by trying to play like Man City or like Burnley? No disrespect to Burnley they are aiming to do what we did when we came up. But to see that as the next step in our progress in the premier league is just a bit tragic. Football isn't going to regress to the 1970s even if some people wish we never left it. The world's moved on and not everyone wants to get left behind. We need to do what we're trying to do better not rip up the plan and go back to where we were. We should be playing like Stoke, why would we copy other teams ?, I think we would be better served playing a system where the players we bring in fit into naturally, at the moment it seems we are buying players with little or no idea how best to utilise the talents they have, I am not even sure Hughes knows what system he wants to play which is a massive problem.

Forget Howe absolutely no chance he would move to stoke domestically it's a total non starter , There are 5 premier league or ex premier league managers who live in Dorset or west Hampshire . You can rule out Howe and the one who has managed us before. Of the other three one doesn't want to manage again .Of the other two one would be a credible candidate and would certainly be linked in the media , the other is a friend / acquaintance of the chairman and I wouldn't rule out as a temporary solution in a crisis not my choice but I wouldn't say it could never happen.
Dyche wouldn't leave Burnley for a bottom three stoke which where we have to be.
Lets to hope it doesn't happen and we get firing again

Didn't Howe leave burnley not because of the job but for family reasons?
Would that stop him coming Stoke?

See it wasn't hard. We should of sounded out Benitez as soon as 'Castle went down. Coleman - no. Howe and Dyche would be good choices IMO, not sure Howe would come. Rodgers I could live with - cut through the crap and he's a decent Manager.

I can't believe this thread.
We have finished 9th in the Prem for the last 3 years and we want to change manager! Some Stoke fans must have the IQ of a brick.

No, but if there is a chance to get in a better guy then you should hear what he may have to say.

Let's not get rid straight away, that wouldn't end well. Give him 15 games to sort this mess out, I think that's enough time and it works for both parties. If he fails, then I'd look at bringing Sean Dyhe in. But for now, I'm in full support of Hughes and Co
