If it’s Eustace we have to get behind him. He’s a coach and that’s what we want really. Who knows what he will be like. Every single manager has failed at some point somewhere Mate I agree. But looking at the names and coaches being mentioned on here now, I would be very disappointed now if they went for Eustace. However if it is I’ll be there and hoping he proves me wrong in my doubts.

If it is Eustace, I fail to see what he would offer more than the others supposedly interviewed?. If he's the one, they should appoint him asap and not mess around. That said Bilic once went to 1/20 and didn't get appointed.

I'd feel so deflated now if it was Eustace which I know is very unfair. Me too. I was feeling really content with the Carsley/Nuno links. I'd feel a bit down if Eustace gets it. But his odds are tumbling for some reason Since Bilic was 1/20 to get the job and didn't..I don't worry about odds. It wouldn't have took much to make that market change.

I thought he was odds on earlier? Wouldn’t be the best appointment. Not sure what else we expected though.

Two weeks ago 99% of this forum were craving for SJE. We sack AN, a few 'ITK' folk fill your heads with stories & suddenly everyone hates the thought of SJE! Bit strong to be fair. People were tempted and still are by the likes of Nuno so SJE looks a bit ordinary by comparison. Hate no, a little disappointed, probably.

Massive welcome to SuperJohn Eustace.
Maybe and hopefully he has got the nous, bollocks and savvy to get this Club back on the right road.
A rousing reception at the Millwall game will give him goosebumps.

People were dead against him before. Neil took over but he’s doing a great job. Emery was a failure at Arsenal, look at Villa. I could go on. Just maybe Eustace is a good fit, we do t know

Much better than being a hindsight merchant.

Just here with a reminder that betting lists mean nothing other than that’s what people are betting on. As evidenced by Nuno’s surge yesterday on the back of the rumour that still has no credible links. The longer there aren’t any links, he’ll drift down the betting.
Really hope it’s Carsley we appoint, he makes a lot of sense.

Nuno and Carsley were supposedly interested today and there has been no announcement. So what do punters do? Start putting money back on the previous favourite.
The number of people who think a bookies odds actually reflect the actual odds of something happening is astounding. All they do is reflect how the bookies are covering their arses in the face of random speculation in the market.

And all because of bullshit stories and people wagering pocket money on flea-bitten betting sites. The names mentioned are all capable of sorting Stoke out IMO.

If it’s Eustace or Carsley I can see 1998 all over again unfortunately.

I don’t know much about Carsley. But reading up on him he seems to have a lot of understanding of the game, tactics and most importantly people. I wouldn’t be too disappointed if he came here it might be a smart move. My worry is this. He hasn’t experienced the blood and thunder of the Championship. Coaching young men and managing a club fighting for its life in this division are very different things. The pressure will be immense. Arguably, we haven’t seen him under pressure yet so we don’t know how he will react. There simply isn’t the same pressure coaching the U21’s as most see it as a secondary matter. If we win, we will say ‘oh great’. If we lose it’s ‘oh well’. Nuno will know what to do from day 1. There’s a reason he may be in the no2 roles. He was a really good player thinking back. Seem to remember him and Graveson were quite the duo in midfield for Everton in the mid 00s.

If the top 3 is Nuno, Carsley and Eustace and we’ve managed to talk to them all then we haven’t done badly at all. I’d be happy enough with any of them. Unfortunately it seems some won’t be happy at all if it’s now not Nuno, but who knows how the talks went and what his demands are? It might be complicated and unworkable as it stands.
Those writing off Carsley and Eustace are being a bit silly I’d suggest. Both have good records and are the right sort of appointment to look at IMO. Each of the three mentioned cover a different base which is smart approach.
Until we end up with Alan Curbishley.

Hassenhuthl ex Southampton is my ideal choice. Out of work so no compensation. Plays high press intensity football. Experienced too was at Southampton 3 years .
