This post sums everything that is wrong with some of our so called supporters. Can't wait fot the manager to fail, wanker! Abusing your fellow supporters, classy. That's what spoiled children do. It's because of people like you that this club is a bastion of mediocrity, happy clapping any old shite. Thankfully people are starting to wake up. Spot on - you've answered for me.

Maybe at the main source of the problem all along. The owners. Just enough to wake them up not drive them out. Denise isnt really that bothered i dont think, she gives out some pocket money too keep her husband, dad and brother amused and the treat the club like a train set! From what I’ve been told old man Coates has no involvement with the club at all, could be the reason why we’re such a basket case.

You are aware of old man Coates rather chequered history of running our football club? A visionary he certainly isn’t.

He also took us into the third tier twice out of three times in our entire history and has spent over £200M getting us to an almost identical situation to that which we were in before he returned. Some fucking legacy.

Oh I’m fully aware of what he’s capable of and witnessed it first hand, you’re only as good as your latest results and they’re heading for the old times at a rapid rate.

The championship is skint.
This means there's more emphasis on tactics and coaching to do well this season.
MON and the tactics are not synonymous at all..

Pretty sure he had a few moments but best ignored if trying to make a point against him

Thankfully people are starting to wake up. What on earth are you talking about. Apart from the later 1940s and early 1970s the club has always been a bastion of mediocrity. Get real! Oh let's just swallow any old shit then. People like you are part of the problem.

Hughes was a good appointment aswell To be fair, Mills and MON started well and looked to be good appointments. Coates’s problem appears to be not knowing when to disperse of them

I actually think MON would do better in the PL than in the Championship, because then he could play more like Northern Ireland did in most games. Not sure MON is capable of getting us out of this division. At least this should be his last attempt before we bring in someone else.

Not sure about that as the effectiveness of his methods during the minutae of a league programme are still dubious, but if he ever took the Celtic job they'd almost certainly do better in Europe under him.

Most of it fairly reasonable with a slight undercurrent of 'nothing to do with me, guv'. The most worrying bit was his analysis that we dropped points from leading positions away from home because we were too positive rather than resolving just not to lose. If that's actually what he thinks then that's a striking misdiagnosis and suggests another long old season ahead. I also don't quite know how you go from wanting to sign Keinan Davis to signing Sam Surridge, that sounds very scattergun.

He makes some reasonable points around the injuries, but I’m not having that trying to win games stuff when leading. Rarely did we try and kick on after going ahead and the inevitable happened. I’m also slightly concerned about how he says in ten minute spells you can find yourself behind. Not shit Sherlock, that’s football and if he can’t plan for that or adjust tactically, then he isn’t the man for the job.

Not shit Sherlock, that’s football and if he can’t plan for that or adjust tactically, then he isn’t the man for the job. Conversely, surely in a ten minute spell you can find yourself ahead? I mean, both teams on the pitch can’t fall behind can they? Sounds very negative to me.

He's covering his arse, and getting the excuses in early for the coming season.
Expect more of the same - who knows, maybe another 2 point improvement, and the heady heights of 13th !
I bet his dressing room talks are really inspirational !

There are some things in there, hidden amongst the reasonableness, which make no sense - primarily the glossing over of the Keinan Davis to Sam Surridge pivot. Like wanting a snake at the pet shop, finding out they haven't got any, and buying a cute bunny rabbit instead. Was the scouting algorithm broken? They should ahve tried turning the laptop off, then on again! Then glosses over it with "well, we recouped the money anyway" This thing of convincing himself we're always on the front foot too. A bit strange. Certainly sounds like we're maybe not wedded to the back three though, so hopefully we may see some rejigging and a back 4.

A bit strange. Certainly sounds like we're maybe not wedded to the back three though, so hopefully we may see some rejigging and a back 4. Who was the chief scout at this point? Aldridge? Yeah - but MON must have watched loads of footage of him before giving it the thumbs up and choosing him over whoever else was on the list? www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/breaking-stoke-city-transfer-surridge-5740184The manager said: “In terms of a permanent signing Sam has been our number one striking option that we identified. We’ve had to be very patient but it’s great to get it done" Even on the day he signed, MON made clear we favoured another striker on loan, which was obviously Davis. But hard to see how you could watch any tape of Surridge, and he must have watched hours, and think he could do any kind of Keinan Davis impression. Suppose it could have been the start of a breakdown in trust with Aldridge, but anyone with eyes could see they were about as different as you'll get, apart from both being about 6' 2"

Certainly sounds like we're maybe not wedded to the back three though, so hopefully we may see some rejigging and a back 4. Maybe we are compared to Northern Ireland.
