Well he’s wrong and that’s. Huge worry going forwards Brown May b3 a forward but at one or two levels below where we are now . oneils recruitment suggests he’s not the man to get us promoted and certainly he’s not got a track record in promotion in amy League in England. Since Stoke is the only English club he's managed, how would you expect him to have a track record...? That’s why I queried his appointment he’s never done it in a major league let alone England and he’d never run a english transfer window and good coach he undoubtedly is at making the best of what he has , recruitment was always a huge risk see Brian Kidd , Steve McLaren , Rene mulenstein , Chris Coleman , Steve. Clarke , all god coaches two international managers but all failed at clubs our size with similar ambitions as managers . For the record I’m not suggesting he’s sacked but I’m of the view there’s no evidence he can make us a promotion team

I, for one, am both happy and relieved that we appointed MO'N last year, and not anyone else, because if we hadn't, we'd be in Division 1 now and, most likely, totally and completely fucked because of FFP. Those with short memories, think of where we were before he came; think of the shit that successive managers bought, and what was paid for it. Think of the balancing act that MO'N has achieved, stabilizing the playing side; getting rid of all of the "bad apples", even if only temporarily, in some cases, and getting our three "crown jewels" - Souttar, Collins and Campbell - on long contracts.
The guy is a true, fucking miracle worker, and if we have to wait another year before we have a real "go" at promotion, then that's ok by me. We'll be far better prepared next year anyway, with our younger players that little bit more experienced.
I don't get some people on this board sometimes; I really fucking don't.

Does anyone bother listening to them now? Same questions every week. Bizarre questions about a cut under batths eye? (Wtf). And nothing new, same old shit, different week. No one asked about 3 in 20, nor 5 in something like 25.

Those sort of questions are not allowed, what get's me is why the person asking the questions then gives the answers WTF is that about it's a pointless box ticking exercise dictated by the club, in fact we could have a cardboard cut out of MON in place.

www.stokecityfc.com/news/2021/april/McClean-to-miss-Blues-clash/“James' heel injury is still giving him a problem. He hasn't been able to train since his brief cameo appearance for us on Monday and I'm disappointed with that. "Clearly, we didn't want him to go away on international duty and firmly believe that has hindered his recovery and we're basically now back to square one in terms of where James is that with injury. "It's something that unfortunately we weren't able to stop and we're very disappointed how he was handled whilst he was away on international duty."

"I don't envisage that James will be available to play again for us this season." Seems very sudden this. Has he upset him at all?

You'd think that could be the last we've seen of him assuming there's any kind of interest over the summer (alas, that may be the stumbling block. There doesn't tend to be a queue forming for 32yo wingers on 25k-a-week, even as they enter their final year under contract!)

“James' Verbal injury is still giving him (and us) a problem. He hasn't been able to train and be effective since his appearance for us on Monday (could say since 2020) and I'm disappointed with that he’s still at the club and that some clown deemed he was worth £5,000,000.
MON went on to say that the quicker we get him out of the club the better.

Yet another terrible expensive signing out on loan next season with us paying all or most of his wages, the Turks will love him

He's confirmed again his faulty character, he's Irish and look what the idiots are up to in Belfast once again. Any excuse for a riot! We really ought to hand 'em over to Eire and get 'em off our pay roll (the benefits pay roll).Sorry if I have offended anyone with the truth, my tin hat is firmly affixed haha.

My piss is boiling just reading about McClean. Get rid of the cunt ASAP.
In any other job you would be sacked for what he has done. He is supposed to be off work injured. No not this silly cunt. He goes off and works for someone else while he is off injured... He decides to play for Ireland. Fucking Ireland.... Get them to pay his wages for the rest of the time that he is unable to play for his pay masters Stoke City FC. Absolute fucking bellend. Get rid of this cunt now.
