At this stage what would we gain and who would come here? How many past it, don't give a shit or never good enough players have we on the wage bill? I reckon at least 7 or 8 players equivalent to around £12 million on the wage bill? Would Coates get rid of the transfer team that assembled this dross? Would Coates offer any new manager£millions to buy the 3 defenders,wide man and striker we need?? As for Bojan being the answer to anyone's prayers then I can only suggest you haven't seen any of his last dozen games for us nor 80% of the games he's played throughout his career.....I think we've got to give Rowett until the end of the season and beyond that I can't see even a top manager being given the money needed to finish the re-build until we clear out all of the deadwood. Mismanagement of a club like we have witnessed over the last 2 years isn't turned around overnight.

No but I didn't claim to know the rest of the fan-base. Does the OP? Statistically speaking it definitely doesn't represent 20,000-30,000 people does it? Wind your neck in knobby So you don't know whether it's a good indicator or not then. Thanks for clarifying H Well you tell me if 100-200 active users represents 30,000+ opinions? There's your answer. Thanks in advance, E |

Think you will find your numbers are inaccurate (more active users) and yes this board normally represents a decent cross section of support. So opinions seem to be correct and most would agree Rowett's appointment has not been successful.

If the media want to get a sound bite of the mood and feeling out there they go straight to the Oatcake. What is said on here you can hear/read on P and G, sport at six, Sentnul etc.

The board, management,players and coaches will feel that they are well aware ofhow the supporters view the current situation but it is notoriously difficult to see the world through someone else's eyes and depending on their role each will focus on different aspects whilst having access to varying levels of information which the supporters are not privy to. The board will be concerned by the profit/loss account, the management will worry about results and the players as professional sportsmen would I hope be unhappy about the performances they are delivering as that is what they are judged on. I am as frustrated as anyone by the performances and results this season but would sacking Gary Rowett at this stage of the season improve things??. For what its worth I don't think he will be going anywhere this season but based on the chairman's pre season comment that anything less than promotion would be regarded as failure I think he could be skating on thin ice should we reach the point where promotion is not mathematically possible. We have as a club got out of far deeper holes than this and there are sufficient points available to do so again so here's hoping

There is a lot of truth in what you say. There has been a definite cultural shift in our fan base over the years (hard to imagine us now piping up with the old song "we're proud of Stoke" in defeat like we used to). We always did have a small minority of negative/loser types, but add to that the Premier League JCLs, key board warriors etc. and you end up with all this shit and the large number of divvies that post on here (apologies to the genuine Stoke fans by the way). The mathematical irony is lost on the numpties that continually call for a manager's head e.g. if there are 24 excellent managers in the division, in the modern era at least half a dozen of them will be classed as "clueless" (and much worse) by their own fans, primarily based on league position alone. The said managers then get sacked and a good chunk of them bounce back with comparable (sometimes better) jobs, proving of course that in most cases the truly "clueless" ones were actually the half wits calling for their head in the first place. In no other industry can you get sacked for 'incompetence' then bounce back straight away in a comparable (not without a serious 'cover up', which is not available to these guys). I am not a Rowett fan BTW, based on my view (held from Day 1) that - never in a million years - was he an upgrade on Paul Lambert. If the fans had got behind Lambert then he would still be here and I am convinced we would be in a better position (its hilarious to read a lot of Stoke fans opinions in Lambert, which run completely counter to the fans of the clubs that he managed over a much longer period of time). That is all conjecture of course. But looking at the whole merry go round, who is actually to blame? BTW - not saying that Stoke fans are necessarily worse than a lot of other clubs (but they are certainly 'up there'), who also have their share of the 'silly as arseholes' brigade! I'm struggling to see the point you are making here to be honest. But if there is a shift amongst supporters (me being one of those who used to go to nearly every game in my younger years and sing when winning or losing) then it is because these days we are in a league where are budget dwarfs all other clubs and we should be doing a lot better. So yes, there is a lot of frustration on here. In terms of sacking managers, I suppose its just part of the game. Really, money, budget, that's what determines how well a manager does. Rowett has failed miserably. Rowett out I was talking about people like you in response to a decent post, not to you you prat. Although I am a bit hesitant about our current plight, I am right behind the manager and desperate for him to succeed. Sorry but I have to declare I am a genuine Stoke fan, so what else can I say. |

H Just on the basis of numbers it's about as reliable a temperature check of supporters views as you're going to get and it's been obvious over the years the club take some notice of it. |
