Wouldn't be surprised if we end up with Mowbray. Wouldn't be too disapppointed either, he isn't the most exciting name for sure but he'd keep us easily in this division. And his stats are pretty good too. I'd take him over carsley and eustace thats for sure.

Big game for Gallagher Sunday, if he gets a win at WBA it gives food for thought 4 points in 2 games, a few seconds away from 6 points in 2 games

Anyone heard of richard jones on twitter? Says Eustace done until season end? Nobody has heard him, could be taking the micky out of Stoke.

And his stats are pretty good too. i would be seriously deflated and its very meh is all i can say about it i want us to go in a new direction, i just want to enjoy games, watching out of date british merchants of shit has got very boring Mind that the new direction could be division one. I think we'd need the safe pair of hands right now and who knows if Stoke and Mowbray would be the match made in heaven - like Stoke and Pulis were. With that differece though that Mowbray plays generally much more attractive football than TP.

Rowett, Jones (2 promotions) and Neil (one promotion) all had win rates of over 40% over the 3 seasons before they joined us and looked like solid appointments.
McKenna had no previous managerial experience before Ipswich gave him a 3.5 year contract - imagine the meltdown on here if Coates had done that.
Whoever it is, we won't know until he's been in the job for a while whether he was the right appointment.

Mowbray is a complete no go for me, his holier than thou attitude he’s had since his West Brazil days means he can fuck right off.

I think mowbray would be a good choice for us! Don't get the negativity at all, not sure what people think we could attract, we're no longer a premiership team at all, maybe the club is ready! We've got to find stability in this league before any aspirations of prem football, we're years away.

Bloody hell, we dream of Alpha Nuno, we get Tony Miseri. Or yes yes yes, I get it could be someone in between, Monsieur Pragmatism, or The Great New Hope etc.

Big game for Gallagher Sunday, if he gets a win at WBA it gives food for thought 4 points in 2 games, a few seconds away from 6 points in 2 games I doubt they would give it to him until the end of the season. It would be a sign that the board are happy to tread water for the time being and I am not sure that the fans would take kindly to it. What the result on Tuesday did do is give the board a little more breathing space to take their time and appoint the right man. If we had been beaten heavily on Tuesday there would have been much more pressure to get someone in and I reckon we would already have had a manager in place by Saturday. Ultimately, I think that they will make a long-term appointment. He will have a few weeks over the Christmas period to assess the squad and get his feet under the table and then be able to make some educated moves in the transfer market. (Watch them announce Gallagher until the end of the season after the weekend now! 😅😂)

And his stats are pretty good too. If we don't get Nuno, Carsley or Jokanović then I think I'd be content with Mowbray until the end of the season. I think he'd get a lot more technically out of Burger, Bae and Haks and as he's not afraid to use youngsters, Lowe (and Tezgel when fit) would get more chances too. I wouldn't expect champagne football though. Even we finished higher than Sunderland in the xG table last season and even though they scored more goals than us, that was in no small part because they had Ellis, a talented duo in Diallo and Clarke, and a swashbuckling Cirkin.

Whoever it is, we won't know until he's been in the job for a while whether he was the right appointment. Alternatively over the last 5/6 years: Wolves Norwich Burnley Watford Fulham Huddersfield Brentford Leeds West Brom Have all been promoted out of this division with foreign coaches that have no Championship experience. Some of them more than once, some of them more than once with different foreign coaches. Some of them with coaches that had no experience of the English game whatsoever.

No doubt in my mind about that. We had zero net spend that window and no transfer fees on forwards or creative players. Anyone would have thought we were a free scoring team with attacking talent in abundance when in fact the opposite was true. 10 seasons in the prem never hit 50 goals once. Bournemouth did it in their second season up, yeah you heard me right fucking Bournemouth. But still many Stoke fans think defensive low scoring football is the way to go🧠🪦 For me after we beat Liverpool 6-1 and in that summer sold N'zonzi and Begovic, We should of done everything possible to keep them, breaking the wage bill everything, I truly believe we could of too the next steps to becoming regular challengers for Europe, instead we sold them replaced them lazily and ended up coming down off the back of it, If the £60mil we spent when we come down would of been spent that summer we might of still been in the prem thriving, but hey ho championship relegation battles it is We could have spent half of that if we’d spent properly goals win games. Don’t know about Bego but N’Zonzi wanted out every transfer window from the one after he arrived that just wasn’t happening. He knew what he wanted and got it. He didn’t just want European competition he wanted trophies and got them. The Coates bought it all on themselves trying to be cute suppose it explains why they employ the type of manager they do trying to swim against the tide.

He played with a back four, and Junior was deployed further forward as a winger. We gave it a good go and should have won the game comfortably. It's not Gallagher's fault Mmaee missed a good chance.
