I like the idea of a role play! So Super John you pretend you are Nuno and Stoke have lost at West Brom 3 0 so do the dressing room talk post game. 😬😃😜

Regarding Mowbray. I've not really got any issue with him saying things about us over a decade ago. I think we can forgive somebody a bit of tit for tat back then, can't we? We gave back as good as we got and it made winning all the sweeter. My reservations are more that we've sparred against him for over 15 years now and every game goes the same way: 1) We play in a physically robust fashion 2) His team roll over and lose He clearly has a reasonable record at this level and his merits, but he just doesn't feel very...Stoke? Our best managers have all tapped into something of the character of the area. He doesn't feel very Stoke because his teams play football. Apart from 2 or 3 seasons under Hughes we've hardly played any football in 20 years.

I would prefer Mowbray to some of the names mentioned. However, I would prefer us to poach the manager of our next opponents. I saw a post tonight Sunderland fans were full of praise and wishing him well said he had them playing some good stuff and was great at developing young players. It said he’d steadied the ship and can leave with his head held high. I never warmed to him to be honest so already have a preconceived idea of what he’s like. I’m maybe thinking more along the lines of getting someone in to steady the ship though than an inexperienced manager thrown in at the deep end.

After his latest media outing I’m just praying the board aren’t considering Gallagher, even until the end of the year. I wouldn't rule it out. There again I wouldn't rule Mick McCarthy out either.

The players have a Christmas Party arranged for the next day. Do you: a) Let the players have their Christmas Party. b) Cancel the Christmas Party. c) Whip off your towl, get your Vera out, and fight the Christmas Party organiser naked."

Wouldn’t Plymouth come out and say they’ve given permission for him to speak to us if that was the case?

It strikes me overall lots of meetings/interviews taking place and every time somebody gets wind of it puts a few bob on and the odds plummet?

I just cant warm to the guy at all, i understand that you feel differently, i am not being massively logical this time to a degree, i have always backed the appointments with patience but i crave something more adventurous this time & i would be dishonest to claim otherwise. They need to rekindle lots of peoples love & passion for the club, we need rose petals & champagne, a waterbed & a skimpy nighty, poetry & excitement, not a corned beef sanger in a layby. The board have created the situation where me & others feel this way after years of poor choices, there is no joy at all left in following/watching us, we are a soulless husk & they need to inspire everyone Side note, just because folk feel different doesn't necessarily make them morons But would you honestly say TP was someone you'd "warm" to ? I take you're point absolutely, back then i was inclined to be a lot more patient & forgiving, as i was with Rowett, Jones, MON, Neil, as i outlined i am not being 100% rational i will admit but i want somebody who get my juices flowing now. I wouldn't be booing the guy or calling for his head & he would receive my backing, as would anybody who gets the nod but if we dont break out of this same old cycle i will be massivly dissapointed this time.

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! 😅😂) Just seems a bit quiet to me, perhaps we are interviewing a fair few before making a decision. Some of these names floating around bore the pants off me. Is a new man going to have time to assess and decide how to target a transfer window?

If you really think Nuno is having a “second interview” you are an embarrassing human being and get real. He’s not interested neither has he applied. Embarrassing fan base. Get a fucking grip. It’s so frustrating listening and seeing the comments on here and Twitter.
