Yup! Three-at-the-back or not, the fact is that in the Championship, he succeeded the dour Paul Lambert who finished 15th the previous season, and after a summer overhaul had them go up as champions. No better evidence of someone who can take a brand-new squad and make it perform. That was, as you say, followed by two successive 7th place finishes in the Premier League. If a top drawer manager like Nuno has indeed applied off his own back, that is fucking big news! 3 at the back is fine if you play with intensity and aggression. We miss these no matter what formation we play. No idea why a man who has been at Porto, Wolves, Spurs and is currently sitting at home happy after being ridiculously overpaid in Saudi would decide that Stoke is a good place to go. If he fails at Stoke, his next set of offers would be relegation fodder Championship teams. Why would he bother? I guess some people just need to work rather than sit on their arse, regardless of how much money they have. And the fat wad he earned in Saudi means that a big salary isn't his first consideration like it otherwise might have been. He's been singed by some big egos in the past few years – not sure the Spurs players really took to his style, and I heard that Benzema basically got him the boot from Saudi. At a club like Stoke, he'd be able to assert his authority again and have players look up to and respect him, not to mention backing from the owners.

So we're set up now for a nice Nuno Espirito Santo let down then a Lambert type appointment.
Where has the rumour come from? And any credible sources linked in the press?
He's the stand out of all the candiates so far but I'm not sure why he'd want to come to Stoke.

Eusty will be a bit of a come down if he gets it.
I like the 3-named options - NES and JDT.
If Eustace gets it, I'll have to insist he re-styles himself as John Mark Eustace.

It's a very weird jump from the recruitment, and consistency angle. The Wolves fans I know were grateful but didn't like the football much. It would be classically inconsistent Stoke. They didn’t like winning the league with 99 points much? His team was brilliant in the Championship. Latterly.

Imagine Santo APPLYING and our clowns going with Eustace.
If he has applied just give him the job, we'll never get better.

I’m not worried about the kind of football we’d hypothetically play four years from now if we got promoted. I’m worried about the immediate issue which is making us an effective Championship side.

Lee Carsley sounds interesting
...ticks 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."
