Carsley still stubbornly at 16s - so we know it take more than a tenner to shift them?! m.skybet.com/football/manager-specials/event/32720089Nuno Espirito Santo 4/6 John Eustace 3/1 Jon Dahl Tomasson 5/1 Steven Schumacher 7/1 Tony Mowbray 9/1 Paul Heckingbottom 12/1 Dean Holden 14/1 Dick Schreuder 14/1 Lee Carsley 16/1

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-next-manager-odds-8972718ticks this box as well as England under-21s’ Lee Carsley, who is currently being linked with the senior job for Republic of Ireland. Shay Given, the former Stoke keeper, said: "I said to [Joleon Lescott, England youth coach], 'What does he bring to the party?' because I know him as a friend more than a coach or a manager. He said he's unbelievable with the lads and the attention to detail is second to none. [He said] the lads just want to play for him, they want to run through brick walls for him; his man management, he's not seen [that level] before. "He brings all that to the party as well. If you listen to people like that who have worked closely with him, and have seen what he's done, and he's been successful as well, he ticks a lot of boxes." Fair enough Nino and Thomason probably unrealistic Carsley - However his latest successes are with an international team, Michael O’Neill struggled to transfer his skills Agree 💯 % Managing at international and club level cannot be compared. Most International matches are against lower grade teams and magnified x100 at youth levels

What’s he done that’s so good? Just asking? Won the Euros I would prefer him to the Eustace, Mowbray, Heckinbottom types!

The fans are going to be really pissed off with Coates,with all these foreign managers been touted,then he finally picks his usual mundane British manager. All these hundreds of pages of posts taking about Potter, Nuno, Coberan, JDT and everyone else in between. Then ... ... Steve Bruce comes in until the end of the season! 😂

Carsley seems a massive risk Easier to get u21s motivated than our current dressing room for a start And not much experience in managing a football club. A big questionmark.

A big questionmark. 8 fixtures from Sept 23 to Sept 24 compared with maybe 50 for us. I remember MON saying he had no time to think in comparison.

It's true though isn't it? We're all just going to be thoroughly depressed and p!ssed off when the wrong person for the job (yet again) is predictably announced. It's like we can see how things will pan out on and off the pitch and yet the people who are there and privy to all goings on can't! How many times do we look at a team sheet and know what's coming, and be proved right yet the manager seems to think it'll work? How come we know that another plodding appointment will me made with 'no hope' written all over it? I'm losing the will now. I can't even stand listening to that commentary from Radio Stoke with that bloke talking drivel and prattling on inanely. Maybe it's me just getting old and grumpy but I just want to be pleasantly surprised for once. I'll keep saying it, this lot need a charismatic leader that they have at least a modicum of respect for. Someone they've heard of. I like John Eustace but the time is not right for the sacked Birmingham manager to try to unify this team. First of all they'd have to Wiki any one of these names being touted just to find out who they were (except Nuno) and then they'd see the CV's and dismiss them before even meeting them on the training ground. Carsley? No! As many have already said, managing a National team at whatever level is TOTALLY different form a discordant team in freefall (isn't it Michael?) Some old dinosaur! No! the youngsters'll be sitting there with their headphones in their ears whilst Benson or Hedges drones away at them WE NEED TO PUSH THE BOAT OUT AND BE BRAVE IN OUR DECISION....bet we won't though

This is a more exciting link than Nuno, in my opinion. Different, untried but with an excellent reputation at international level.

If the information that Nuno actually has applied for the job is true, (which seems to be backed by some ITK types on here) then surely its a case of just doing a deal with him? He's head and shoulders above any other options, especially as he's available.

Has MON written all over it. Managing a bunch of U21 pampered PL players is nothing like club management at all. Would you want Southgate to manage Stoke? Wrong type completely.

MON was great when he first came in, but the wheels fell off. The best since relegation by a mile. I'd love to know who is actually in the frame for it. If Nuno has indeed applied and we can make it work, I think the board would probably choose him over Carsley, purely because of the club experience. But who knows? Carsley might have been number one target all along and, if he fancies it, he gets it. At least there are some decent names being linked, in amongst the more bog average.

Got to start somewhere, and he'll be more a head coach, not managing the entire club. Reminds me of playing USM98 where you could set the fast food prices, always wondered if managers actually did that back in the 90s!
