I wonder which team Charlie Adam will be managing tomorrow night?

Jesus fucking Christ no

[Gunslinger]

Wow! I didn't see that coming.

[cheadlepotter]

Very little surprises me these days but I’m shocked.

One can only hope the head coach model is implemented properly with the timing (just after the transfer window) and we already had a shortlist.

[spitshaw]

We're a joke

[SuperRickyFuller]

Ffs..

Who's available? We've clearly got someone lined up you'd think?

This has to be why. Must have a replacement lined up. Hopefully do a Watford and announce later today. ( although I think he deserves more respect than that). Moyes anyone?

[salopstick]

wow

it cant be an up and comer, we keep trying that it doesnt work

it needs a moyes type

Total BS statement from the club. It was Schuey who has MADE the young and dynamic squad. Youngest starting 11 in history etc.

Something 100% has gone on behind the scenes since the Oxford match. Just wish they would be honest and transparent about it. In disbelief.

You could tell from the fans forum that there was tension between Schumacher and Walters

fishlovesoatcakes what's happened?

[potterpaul]

Thought he looked a bit jittery in his post Oxford interview

David Moyes?

Moyes?

Wayne Rooney?

Joe Royle?
Pete Best?

Nothing would surprise me at this club

Moyes would be an absolute disaster with this group of players

[stokiejoe]

Whether you liked Schuey or not that's appalling, he was undermined the moment they brought in offside Walters. Deserved better treatment. The club really is a shambles

[RWChris]

Wouldn't be going after Eustace would they?

Wouldn’t give schuey the credit for that. He has identified positions and characteristics, the recruitment team has found the players.

[stokie1947]

what a farcical club we are get rid of JC should be the first step

[FullerMagic]

Strangest sacking I can remember.

Just bizarre.

But got the impression Walters was keen to move in as soon as he could to get rid.

[apb1]

Who is available? FM do your magic..

[threepoints]

I don't think that the managerial position is the problem at SCFC

[dobcool]

Let's just hope this isn't another Eustace situation...

Uncompromising at the very least.

It reads as though either SJW and Coates someone in mind or that someone they want has become available.

Agree, Pej giving a good insight on Radio Stoke now, saying a power struggle with SJW and Shawcross against Schuey.

Either way what an ABSOLUTE MESS and EMBARRASEMENT. 

[danceswithclams]

Idiot club run by idiots.

Steven Schumacher has left his position as Head Coach of Stoke City.

Jon Walters said: “My role as Sporting Director is to make tough decisions that serve the long-term interests of Stoke City.
“After ongoing discussions with John Coates, we feel the time is right for a change in direction to bring success to the club.

“We have a young, dynamic squad that is eager to develop and a clear vision of how to achieve success, and we hope to announce a new appointment shortly. We will need the fans, staff, and players united in support to achieve our goals.

“As always in football, these decisions are difficult, and we wish Steven and his staff all the best for the future.”

With Mark Hughes, Chris Cohen, Peter Cavanagh and Elliot Turner having also left the Club, Alex Morris and Ryan Shawcross will take caretaker charge of the team.

Chair John Coates added: “Steven, Mark, Chris, Peter and Elliot depart with our thanks for their efforts and with our best wishes for their future careers.

“We have faith in the squad of players we have assembled and firmly believe they can bring success to Stoke City this season.

“I continue to be hugely thankful to the Club’s fans for their loyal and passionate support.” (Sentinel)

[FullerMagic]

There'll definitely be a Walters angle.

Charlie Adam must be a contender?

[rickyfullerbeer]

It’s an excellent decision.

We have a talented squad and the likelihood of him taking it forward looked slim based on everything we’ve seen since he was appointed.

Agree, Pej giving a good insight now on the Radio. But 5 games in, yes mixed results, but some exciting performances, great young team and this happens.

That was my first thought 😂

[Bojan Mackey]

It’s going to be Charlie fucking Adam isn’t it.

[coldtuesdaynight]

I mean…

I kind of get it. We’ve got a good squad in my eyes and if we’re not in the top half it’s a big failure. I doubt many of us would be confident enough to put big money on Schumacher achieving top half though.

We have a pretty generic setup in a 4-3-3 nowadays, with a squad built to play the kind of football nearly every manager wants so it’s not like we’re handing a 3-5-2 trained squad over to someone who’s never even heard of a wingback. So we’ve kind of set up as we were meant to be after ‘The Reset’ where the head coach/manager is just an employee we can replace without having to start over from zero every single time.

It’s just… Why not do this over the international break when there were 2 weeks to get something sorted? Was the reserves v reserves win in the cup really that impressive to keep him in the job? Or the 1-0 win at Wayne Rooney’s latest relegation destined club?

Maybe he got feedback after the Oxford game and didn’t take it well? It’s hard to image that game alone was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Anyway. I’ll save my judgement until the next manager is announced. It better be someone impressive. If it’s another up and coming manager from league 1 or 2 then I’m not hating it under normal circumstances… it just seems strange to appoint someone like that and not give them a couple of seasons to find their feet if that’s a route we are commited to! We were a decent chunk of the way through that learning process with Schuey.
