Or, a few more have been tempted because he was put in at 9/1. Surely they have to move these odds around to stimulate interest? So, how does it work, I don't think it's entirely 'where the money is going' but even if it mostly is, isn't it manipulated to indicate something going on which might not be? Let's hope something is going on here, because this one would get the juices flowing.

Dorsett's full article on Sky www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13029533/john-eustace-and-tony-mowbray-leading-candidates-for-stoke-city-jobFormer Birmingham manager John Eustace and ex-Sunderland and West Brom boss Tony Mowbray are among the leading candidates to take over at Stoke City, Sky Sports News understands. Former Fulham, Watford and Sheffield United manager Slavisa Jakanovic is also thought to be on Stoke's shortlist with the club yet to narrow down their preferred candidate as they carry out an exhaustive process of due diligence. Stoke are looking for their sixth manager in as many years after sacking Alex Neil on Sunday following a 1-0 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday. Owner John Coates is desperate for some stability, and so will take his time to ensure a rigorous recruitment process is followed.
Both Eustace and Mowbray were surprise sackings with Birmingham sixth and Sunderland only three points outside the play-offs when the respective managers left the clubs. Both men remained extremely popular with large sections of the fans when they left their jobs. Stoke's draw with Swansea last night has steadied the ship and has given bosses more time to focus on the managerial search

Youd have thought Nuno would have better options than us. He's only been out of work a month looking at wiki

Wonder if making our interest in Potter known when it was never going to happen was partly about sending a signal to the likes of Nuno that we have deep pockets and big ambitions for securing the next manager?
Nuno would a brilliant coup in my eyes given where we are at the moment.

Nuno would be a stellar appointment, even more so in the position we find ourselves in. He'd be one of, if not, the best manager in the league surely.

In the main my enjoyment of football is directly linked to the amount of goals the team scores. Say it quietly but I even quite enjoyed Pulisball in that brief period he got the team scoring goals prior to the cup final and the first half of promotion season. Not enough to make up for the other about 9 years of misery don’t worry I’m not turning into a Rimmer. Isn't that a bit simplistic? I enjoy a 1-0 winner in the 90th minute more than a win when we're 2-0 up at half time, 2-1 at full time. Naah I just enjoy high scoring games. All my favourite games have been high scoring games mainly in pretty irrelevant circumstances (barring the cup semi) if the opposition score a few as well I find I like it even better. Nowt like a good 5-4 (Barnsley under Lou in a game of no major significance)or a 4-3(Luton). Lots going on and high drama.

Not one of these so called favourites for the managers position fills me will confidence or inspiration. We are fucked Like a rudderless ship floundering in heavy seas. How the hell have Stoke City FC become so toothless. Stoke need a bloke with guts and flare to get the team and fans on his side. Not one of the favourite candidates has any never mind both of these qualities.

Nuno has applied for it or we've approached him? If he's applied for it then the landscape has changed... Can't be true, no one would touch us with a barge pole. Poisoned chalice. Fans toxic....

Mowbray or Jokavonic for me. Perhaps Nuno as well, don't know him enough to be sure.

Not sure why folks has NES down as "great football", he's a defensive-minded 3-4-3/3-5-2 merchant who plays with a low block?!

Nuno, Jokanovic and Eustace in that order. Think with the group we have, a foreign manager with experience both home and abroad can help them adapt to life in this division whilst understanding what is needed to be able to compete week in week out. Both Nuno and Jokanovic have experience of getting sides out of this division, and Nuno also established Wolves back in the prem too.
Knowing us though - it'll be 'mogga' Mowbray or Dean Holden. Our board seems hesitant to trust anything outside what they see week in week out - that being English football. Just hope times are changing with our recruitment policy in the summer becoming more cosmopolitan. Guess we will wait and see!

Before anyone gets excited about Nuno, he is a firm three-at-the-back merchant. First and foremost, we need that left-footed centre-back as well as a LWB and a strong forward to fit into his system (Mmaee just isn't going to cut it in Nuno's style). I also don't care if he brings in a load of Tugas if they have the same quality as Jota and Moutinho.

Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko Keep hearing Eustace. But if somebody unusual comes out of the shadows … I don’t know why they are finding it so hard on the pitch. It’s not THAT good a division.

The Wolves fans I know were grateful but didn't like the football much. It would be classically inconsistent Stoke.

I don’t know the details of how they played because we were busy playing in the Prem. Going up into the prem and trying to stay up I think you either need a very flexible coach/manager or a change of coach/manager. Could he be the former. Spurs fans hated his football albeit a brief affair. Who knows worth a try.

Look at other fan boards and you’ll soon realise that we as fans are just the same as all the rest. Great when things are going well, not so great when they’re not. It’s called ‘human nature’

I think the two would definitely raise SCFC's profile in the media and we'd be one of the biggest clubs in League One 😬😁 I dont see where this league 1 stuff comes from. So that's professionalism winning mentality, Geography for loan players First dibs on Man Utd loan players Leadership Ambition Advertisement dream for 365 ( media coverage) Player pulling power Good football It's the only sensible and secure option I've read a good deal of opining, wild speculation & "takes" over my years on this forum. This is one of the absolute all-timers in my book

Firm three at the back merchant that pissed the league then took them to Europe, the last 8 of that btw, and there highest league finish in 40 years, and a fa cup final to boot, sign me up
