When egos win, it rarely ends well. I honestly don’t know where the club goes from here and to be honest, I’m becoming less bothered as each game goes by.

As said in summer, if his name wasn’t Walters and we appointed a guy with his experience to this role there’d be confusion and uproar.
It’s incredible people on here tried to defend it by saying stuff like “oh he has a masters and his badges” like everyone else we employ or could have employed doesn’t have these things.
Ample opportunity to say job well done Jon and shake hands after last year, but no we had to go all in on vibes only.

Seems like a historical mistake by Stoke to get rid of Schuey and replace him with Pelach. Usually I do have lot of patience but it's often requires even a hint of hope which I haven't seen today at all. I don't like the direction which we are "develpoing" our game to. It's boring and will get us relegated. But thats not very surprising because we have basicly two trainees in charge, JW and Pelach, with a very young squad. Things could unravel very quickly with 2 inexperienced people in the top jobs and with a young squad. These are very concerning times indeed..

I'm glad he sacked the man who scouted Junho, Burger and Manhoef so that we could hire a proper British head of recruitment and spend all transfer window chasing Tom Cannon.
In and amongst the stellar work he's done on the coaching side of things, don't lose sight of bit of genius.

Ample opportunity to say job well done Jon and shake hands after last year, but no we had to go all in on vibes only. His appointment, up until the end of the season, seemingly worked. The fans got behind his cheerleading and we just about scraped enough points together to avoid the drop. Making it permanent this summer looked lazy to me though. It’s the biggest example of our Chairman not having a clue what he’s doing. Walters has tried to look smart appointing a coach with very little managerial experience. It wouldn’t be so bad if Pelach’s style of play wasn’t so incompatible with the squad.

Goaaan Jon, just do it.

He should have just stuck to the rallying calls rather than trying to make decisions that frankly did not needed to be made.

I am so angry with the petulant, risky, egotistical and so far piss poor decision he's made. If it was the start of the season or SS was doing crap, fair dos, but this decision feels disrespectful to the fans.

It’s starting to look like sacking SS so hastily might be one of the worst decisions the club has made in a long time! (Takes some doing!) The proverbial cherry atop the shit cake they’ve been baking for 7 years! Not that Shuey was pulling up trees, but his tenure hadn’t been disastrous either, it’s just the latest in a long line of head scratching decisions.

He overstayed his welcome as a player let alone this absolute disaster, it’s like giving someone who’s flown a kite once a pilots licence.

He was giving it the big I am in Ireland as I’ve said he put £500 behind the bar for the stoke fans. This bloke will relegate us 100%

The most damaging appointment since Gary Rowett. By the time he’s finished his legacy could be even worse than Rowett’s.
Imagine that.

It was such a needless sacking of SS. If there was a clash between Walters and SS, just get on with it for the good of the club. He made a monumental call and could cost us big time.

How much of an impact has the SS sacking had on the players? This is not to say the players had a love in with SS, but imagine coming of the back of several positive results like the 5-0 cup game, the Argyle win away, having spent the whole summer camp with the coaching team to then suddenly find out Walters wanted his own man in? I just don't understand why when we appear to have some stability for a change we switch it up at the most unconventional and worst times. Nobody can deny the timing of the dismissal was abysmal. You'd think that John Coates would have some self awareness to recognise that maybe something felt off in dismissing SS when he did, but unfortunately he comes across as bit of a doormat for these managers/DOF. Too soft and lets people walk all over him. Imagine the conversation with Daniel Levy pitching the sale of Wimmer to him back in 2017, Levy would have been laughing thinking what an easy sell it was almost feeling sorry for the gullible sod.
