Very well respected in the dressing room, look how well OGS has started for Manure, won't cost alot.
Maybe worth a chance ?

The way we're playing I'd give pottermus a go, at he has the fans onside.

I don’t think it’s such a stupid idea. Seems bright and intelligent. We have nothing to lose

We've seen backroom staff come in to steady the ship as caretaker before and it either works or it doesn't.
We do have some experienced squad and staff members e.g Fletch, Delap, Phillips who would be willing to step in, but at this point I'm not convinced the squad has the quality to mount a promotion charge regardless of the manager.

It has with an experienced manager,not some ex player dipping his toes into management for the first time. The world's gone chuffing mad. |

I think we should go retro and be the first club in history that doesn’t have a manager and basically does a half time raffle draw to be the manager for a week. You’re only credentials should be
A) you have played champ manager any season between 1998-2018
B) you have to prove you support stoke and show some knowledge of their history which goes beyond premier league
C)you average at least more than 15 games a season
Pick the team!
Better Do well though, as your seat number will be read out at half time!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Any regular poster on the Oatcake could pick a better starting line-up and make better substitutions than this ijit. Even Stevie Wonder could see we would be better setting up either 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1
What’s wrong with this:
Butland
Edwards Williams Shawcross Pieters
Woods Etebo
Ince Allen (or Bojan) Clucas (or McLean)
Berahino (Or Afobe or Bojan)
This manager thing is not rocket science!😜

OGS has worked in part because he's a club legend which instantly gets the fans onside and buys him time. Fletcher would get zero honeymoon period for two reasons. Firstly he's been a shit player for us so he's got no pre existing goodwill from the fans. And secondly he'd look like a cheap option which automatically gets the fans' backs up. He'd have to hit the ground running and get instant results and that piles on an awful amount of pressure.

If it keeps him off the pitch then I’m in. 👍

You really want to entrust the club to a manager with no experience because he once played at the top level?
I think you’d have to get very lucky for that to solve the problem.

As an interim ‘see how it goes’ measure we could do worse than Fletcher providing he could find a back up team.
Appointing a long term manager at this time of the season is difficult to say the least.

Why does it have to be a current player or former player ?
It seems people are looking at the Man Utd situation and seeing it being for us without realising that OGS has been managing for over a decade.
