I live in Wanstead, which is a nice place - but the people are totally different to what I grew up with. It’s a lonely place, and your experience of the tube hasn’t changed at all. It’s an awful experience made worse by the people who would rather spit on you than smile. Once I had a poppy badge with the stoke badge on it (not sure if people remember them) on my coat and was standing on the tube. A lad next to me saw it and started chatting to me - he was a Birmingham City fan - we had a nice conversation and he was a nice lad and we spent 10 minutes on the tube talking football. That was once. About 4 years ago. I go on the tube twice a day for a total of about 80 minutes. Do you try and start chatting with other people? Is it necessary to talk to random people on a train? 😉 Thought all Stokies do that?

Nuno will be our next manager, tears of joy. You’d said it wasn’t happening yesterday now that’s covering a lot of bases in the prediction game 😉 Things change, this is a fluid story.

Nuno applied for the job and has talked to stoke about it. If he isn't the next stoke manager I'll quit the oatcake forever With 8k posts I’m going to go with this. Fingers crossed. Will really improve our profile. Should attract better players.

I would imagine the massive stumbling block would be his desire to bring his own people with him. After such a massive overhaul last summer, I would be amazed if we did that again, or under FFP could afford to.

Balls on the line there Glasgow! [brrock solid information. If he didn't want the job he wouldn't have been proactive about it. Doesn’t really mean anything in terms of getting the job as the club may not fancy him for any reason really.

After such a massive overhaul last summer, I would be amazed if we did that again, or under FFP could afford to. I suspect for it to work he will need to bring his entourage and if we can't afford the entire package we shouldn't go there. Even with additions over the summer by modern standards we have a very threadbare backroom and most managers, especially overseas managers, expect far more bodies in the backroom to let them focus on the big stuff. If we want to continue with our current setup I don't think Nuno (or Carsley) would be right for the job.

Nothing weird - just friendly.

Out of curiosity and not to put a dampener on things… but….
He seems to be the overwhelmingly popular appointment with all fans at the minute…
What happens if he does sign and it all goes a bit … tits up.
Who do we blame then?
Just asking so I know In advance. I like to be prepared

Mate it's exciting like thinking Kylie and Dani Minogue are popping round later to give me a doublegobble. And about as possible. 1000% applied and to be interviewed. Jtd and eustace already been spoken with. Don’t write it off. Little old Stoke very attractive, If Potter sorts his severance out from Chelsea could be really interesting

Nuno was top of that list 24 hours ago. Did you post ‘Nuno it is then’ then?

As a 'I just want us to play attractive football' type, Nuno wouldn't be my first choice. He is so good though that I think it would still be great news if we got him. Therefore, this would surely be an appointment that unites the fans. Are there any other 'purists' out there who agree/disagree with this?
Also, we'd desperately need a left footed wing back in addition to the other positions we desperately need

Nuno had a dream To rebuild our football team He hated Saudi and he thinks benzemas a cunt With 4 (or 5) at the back Let’s go all out attack We’re stoke City we’re on our way back

It’s very much a Stokie/North Staffs thing. Stand at a bus stop in Stoke for 5 minutes with another person and you’ll know their life story. I moved to Burton 45 years ago. Only 30 miles away and people thought I was a mentalist when I said hello to them in the street if I didn’t know them.

Also, we'd desperately need a left footed wing back in addition to the other positions we desperately need If we bring Nuno in it’ll be a shame we sold Tymon. Him and Hoever will be about 2 of the best wingbacks you could have in the league. I don’t know why we sold Tymon in the first place, there was space for him and Gooch in the squad.
