Our club is just rife with nepotism isn't it, Jones is here because John's mate who couldn't cut it in the back room of the bookies goes to three matches a week and really likes watching football.
what the fuck

It's incomprehensible that a professional football club could appoint a manager by having a fucking stupid mate who 'likes football' recommending you a manager. Just cannot comprehend it. It's sheer lunacy.

So that’s who scouted Wimmer then

I thought this the first time I saw this video just after the "meet the Board" evening - he doesn't appear to have a clue what he's doing and seems somewhat naive. I'm embarrassed and very worried just listening to him. To think our club is being run by this bloke, and Teflon, is something we should all be concerned about. He struggles to put a coherent sentence together and does not exactly portray a good image for our club.
We're in deep trouble on and off the pitch.

Jones will be going early next week to deflect blame yet again but surely Juniors position at the club must also be in question, surely. Who keeps employing these idiots and whatever “the plan” and “no lessons learnt” is an absolutely piss take of the highest order. This club is poison Jon Coates position is in question! He is the club you idiot.

Is there anybody on here who is actually surprised that the club is run with a mantra of “jobs for the boys and / or your mates”?
Take the IT fiasco last year with streaming, the ridiculous pr tweets, the poor stadium infrastructure, poor catering, the list goes on and that’s before you get to the playing side.
I’m not advocating for the return of TP but clearly the only time the playing and training side was running with any discipline and professionalism was when he was there. Hughes let it all go over 4 years and Lambert, Rowett and now Jones haven’t been able to get it back.

Last time the club looked anything like professional, achieved anything, and held its own in the Prem until Hughes built pillars of sand

I don’t think anybody believes is was JUST that. However, as a club and a business, we really don’t have a stellar record of appointing the right people do we?

He wouldn’t know where to start. Horses for courses. We need a man who has repeatedly saved clubs from similar positions in the past. You're enjoying this aren't you? I hate it. This is my football club lurching into crisis. It means as much to me as everyone else on here.

Guardiola would lead us to promotion doing it part time with his eyes closed. We would be relegated by March. His strength is taking over the biggest clubs in the world with the biggest budgets the game has ever seen. Even Jones would manage to keep a club from relegation under those circumstances.

Those with a longish memory won't forget your gleeful reaction to Mark Hughes's first game, a defeat at Liverpool. You won't entertain anyone other than TP in charge of Stoke. Hughton and Moyes would possibly be the club's first choice, but you wouldn't accept them.

I don't think the appointments of Rowett and Jones were horrendous at all, hindsight is a wonderful things. It's the total lack of a coherent vision for the club that's the issue, spending money on players that don't fit the system. We need a proper, experienced Director of Football type to hold all that together so that whoever the manager everyone knows the vision and philosophy of the club. If that's John Beck hoofing the ball long so be it, as long as everyone's singing from the same hymn sheet..... Is there a philosophy? If so please tell me .

Who keeps employing these idiots and whatever “the plan” and “no lessons learnt” is an absolutely piss take of the highest order. This club is poison Bollocks. The club previously tried your older experienced type manager. They then went for rowett who many on here were calling for and nearly got derby up just before we nabbed him. It didn't work out though. We then went for someone who had played exciting, attacking football, gaining two back to back promotions and out scoring most of europe in the process. It hasn't worked out though. We can moan at this and that, but the two appointments were not wank or stupid at the time. They were both ridiculous appointments, neither had the experience or nous to get out of this division.

That really is an eye opener.
I think Jon should step down and let someone who knows about football make these types of decisions.
