Well we have a number of players happily murdering games of football for Stoke City right now, Nathan, so you might be able to save a few quid.

Sounds great, time will tell if he is as good as his word. Is it a good idea to put this kind of stuff into the public domain just yet though? It’s hardly motivational for the current crop between now and the end if the season is it?

Who knows, I am no psychologist. |

The Board and players will already have known that, so by going public it's really a message for the fans, isn't it?

Goddamn! I hope there's blood on the carpet this summer, Nathan! Sadly no sign of it traveling upwards to the Executive ranks though

Probably orchestrated by Carto to ensure the heat stays off him. What does the club have to lose by getting a new technical director in? Can't get any worse can it? |

I just hope he gets the opportunity to sign his players and not the ones offered to him by Scholes and Cartwright. Sounds very promising. I'm sure he'll give it his all I'm just not convinced by Cartwright and Scholes.

Well said Nathan Jones.
He has inherited a hell of a task, trying to put right the wrongs of the
last three years.
I am confident that he will eventually sort things out, and our club will
once again have an optimistic future - provided he is given at least three
years to achieve this.
Nathan Jones' task would be many times easier if the two main individuals involved in
all transfers and recruitment behind the scenes were replaced. Sadly, there is little
hope of that happening.

There is a danger that you analyse everything in our situation but "turning down things offered to him because money isn't always the answer" is a tad worrying.

Really we’re in unchartered territory aren’t we. Pretty much a full rebuild rather than just players to add to a fairly strong core which we did have for many years. You’d expect this transfer window to be a bit different and to be fair last summer Rowett got who he wanted by the sounds of it so no reason for Jones not to. |

You can kind of see that to have tried to do too much in the January window wouldn’t have been the best idea though. It’s just not the window to do it. And better to properly assess the squad first before a massive cull. Something which GR didn’t seem to do hence amassing a vast collection of midfielders when money really needed to be spent on the defence etc. |

Yes...I didn’t quite mean everyone out and all new in but i expect it will be a rebuild more than we have seen before either way. Given he wants to cut down the squad anyway and he will want to bring in his own players and a lot of our players aren’t cutting I can’t see many he’ll be begging to keep! |

Patience will be a virtue in the case of this manager, he has inherited a club with 3 years decline behind it. It is bound to be painful in the short term, but I have faith that NJ is the right man to deal with the many problems we have. We all have to grow a pair and let him do the things he needs to do. In 12 months time we will see a massive difference and start to see the football we desire.
We as supporters wear our Stoke shirts with pride and this time next year I am convinced we will see players who feel the same. It will be worth the wait.
