I don’t think we have been mediocre all the time most of the time but there have been periods when we have been very good and looked like we might achieve something, we should have won the league on possibly 2 occasions the FA Cup also but like most clubs who have under achieved we have many small windows for success which we have managed to slam on ourselves. What happened over the last 5 years has been mostly self-inflicted which is really why many people are finding it hard to accept. Of course we all knew at some point we would struggle in the Premier League and probably be relegated but it was the lacklustre way in which it was managed from the top which grates on peoples nerves. We are owned by a mega successful betting company one which has made it’s founders wealthy beyond most people’s understanding and it thrives year in year out but we are a million miles from that successfully run company right now. The reality the brains behind that success has no interest in football and her father and brother are the brains trust at the top of our branch of their portfolio. Nobody can doubt their love for this club but it seems they don’t have the ruthless business acumen of Denise. There is no way she would look at the malaise at Stoke City and not root out the failures and install people who can make decisions which would improve our situation. It seems everyone concerned is content to just muddle on and then use the latest scapegoat or manager as the reason for all our problem. Yet the same people will then attempt to roll the dice and hope they hit a 6 and supporters are silenced by a little upswing in our form. That isn’t a clear plan for success it’s almost like the gamblers are running the football portfolio arm of the bookies. Even the worst punters pick a winner now and again it convinces them they are good at gambling and encourages them to gamble more. If Jon wasn’t his son he would be stacking shelves at Tesco , no disrespect to shelf stackers of Tesco or other supermarkets Not sure about stacking shelves at Tesco. But I am 100% sure they could have got someone in who would have done a much much better job. And the same goes for Scholes. This is exactly where Stoke have failed this last 5 years and nothing will change until they rectify that mistake.

I think it’s complacency. The owners are all comfy with their money from Bet365. It just seems like a hobby to them now. They just seem to accept poor performance time and time again from everyone until it’s too late. Then there’s a mess to fix. Agree with this, when you have that sort of money success is not urgent unless mediocrity it's something that is really bugging you, then you do do a root and branch

They treat the club as a hobby/weekend play thing. They need to enter the 21st century or else we will be left behind even further. They can afford it so get the proper personnel in to give the club a new modern vision.

Our issues go far beyond the playing squad or manager, whatever you think of them. The club is not particularly well run. It has rich owners, yes, they are fans, yes and they'll keep tickets cheap, but there is no real strategic vision there. No idea. They just want 'Stoke to be back in the Premier League' and don't know how to connect the dots. Keep changing managers won't do it. Even if Wilder is a better manager than MON, it is perfectly reasonable to expect a guy who won 3 in 30 or something to not succeed here. The club's issues can't be overrided by a manager. Are Tony and John the men to lead us back? I'd say no. There is a Tony out there who could lead us back Waddo and a ouija board?

I think the problem with Stoke is that the current business model is against the interests of the Club because their assets consist only of the playing staff, and they are a liability rather than an asset.Bet365 own the Club lock stock and barrel, and they can be cast adrift at any time. They now have a massive debt owned entirely by Bet365. With the benefit of hindsight, it struck me that some years ago when Bet365 was a small company, Stoke City could have been given a small percentage to cement the liaison between the two companies and now Stoke would have a large and increasing asset rather than a large and increasing debt. A huge opportunity has been missed to create financial independence!

A huge opportunity has been missed to create financial independence! So Stokes revenue would be linked to the earnings of bet365? This would allow us to be out in the market spending as much as we like? If so an opportunity missed indeed. However, knowing how savvy Denise appears to be the last thing she would want is the numpties running the football club to have access to ever larger sums of money bearing in mind how badly they spend it!! No wonder she is a billionaire and the brains in the family.

View AttachmentAll said and done this is all about the ego of the owners. They know bloody well they could have shifted resources to the administration side of the club and got better more qualified people than themselves to run the show. But then they wouldn't be able to show off at Ascot races, or wherever they mingle, to their rich mates about how clever they are and how amazing it is that they got lowly, going nowhere, unfashionable Stoke to the Premiership for 10 years. I am just hoping they are getting to the stage that it is an outright embarrassment for them now and they will do the decent thing for the fans and get the required administration model in place. I have had enough of them playing games. It is nothing but one big insult to the fans.

Looking at the relegated clubs that manage to get back up after a season or three, it occurs to me that our relegation was spectacularly unfortunate timing. We were desperate for a rebuild in that last season in the Prem. Our frailties were exposed by the gaps left by the departures of Walters, Whelan and Bardney, not replacing them, and the sale of Arnie which removed whatever sparkle we might have had. If we’d somehow survived that season, with a decent new manager, we would probably have rebuilt sufficiently in 2018 to sustain another five years of premier league football at least. Because we went down at that transitional point, we entered the Championship with a team that was neither fit for the Prem, nor fit for the new challenge of the Championship. Then a strategy of employing British, lower league savvy managers whose recruitment strategy was lots of British players that were good for consolidation rather than promotion meant that the much needed rebuild went in a downward direction until we started to look like the Stoke City of circa 2001. And here we are, rebuilt with a very average, anonymous squad, not good enough for promotion any time soon. Meanwhile, the likes of West Brom, Fulham, Watford and Norwich - who kept the essence of their squads together and had recruited well - go on to continue their trim yo-yo existences that look pretty enviable next to our aimless wallow in mediocrity.

If you look objectively at our entire History we are an established Football Club of Mediocrity. Brief periods of over-achieving should not be mistaken as an example of what we really are. The vast majority of our existence has been a disappointment for the fans and supporting this club will probably never be any different. Accept that and the anger at our current situation will disperse. Like it or not we are probably where we belong, In the Championship battling for promotion with many better Football Clubs. I don’t see anything from this Club that tells me we deserve better things. SCFC has done NOTHING in the last 5 years to warrant a Premiership identity.

Haven't we spent more time in the top flight than out of it? And up until recently we had spent more seasons in the top flight than West Ham. I can't imagine you'd ever find one of their fans posting the above. Your last sentence is spot on but we absolutely should be a top flight club. It's not easy and we have no right to it but that's where we need to be, it's what we should aspire to be.

It's not easy and we have no right to it but that's where we need to be, it's what we should aspire to be. Stoke were founder members of the Football League and between the early 1930s and 1985 were in the First Division most of the time with the exception of the 1950s, which you could blame on Bob McGrory and Frank Taylor.. After that the record has been mostly mediocre except for a number of years in the Premier League.Peter Coates became a Board member in 1984, and all of the time since, usually as Chairman. The charge of mediocrity fits his period in office and most fans remember nothing pre-Coates. If anyone is to blame for mediocrity it is Peter Coates, and his awful recruitement ideas, Scholes being a case in point.

Absolutely no doubt complacency at the top was responsible for our relegation not the bad buys most supporters attribute it to, those can be consumed by a Premier League club. The fact they brought in £25 million for Arnie and did not reinvest it in replacing our main attacking threat was criminal negligence. £15M on Wimmer a centre half we didn’t even need was our big outlay that closed season along with a wedge on Bruno and stupidly large loan fee and wages on Zouma. Stupid proportion of the budget spent on defenders for a team that had lost it’s main attacking threat and did not score enough goals even before that.

Disagree with that. All you need to do is take a look at how there businesses outside of the football club have been run. I don’t think they’ve ever settled for mediocrity. Take a look at bet 365 it’s constantly evolving. You don’t do that if your happy with your money and happy to stand still It's not a hobby though is it b365 Denise Coates should run the club like BET 365. Some of the players won't gat away with what they are getting away with at the moment.

It's a different ball game though isn't it. We lack a footballing business nouse for sure but I'm not sure Denise Coates would know how to approach it better. Imo scfc should have a football person with a vision as head of football director. It's been quite revealing in the last 5 years or so how much of a clue we havn't got. To me the obvious thing to do is bring somebody like TP in as football director and it has been for some time. This is a person who has proven he knows how to build a football club from the bones and establish it in the Top division. For all we huff and puff as a club we are wasting vast sums of money and time not doing something like this, not bringing someone like TP in is just daft stubbornness and a refusal to accept you havn't a clue, either that or you don't mind the club and its fortunes being your rich man's train set
