I only found out about the sacking when I finished work. I didn’t have anything against SS but after Saturdays underwhelming performance it did really feel like that he wasn’t going to get a consistent tune out of the squad. This really does come across as a change of direction and one where we’re getting an exciting overseas coach (not manager). From my experience the Spaniards really do seem to know there onions and this guy could be just what we need with some of the excellent technical players we have. I’m in. Great post. Only thing is the squad isn’t great by any means

Saw Narcis Pelach supporting WOT in early 90's. Great band. Shoegaze claptrap

I asked you to name someone who had resources and would be interested. And you come up with Snoop Dog Do you ever realise how stupid you make yourself He’s a rich bloke. We have the Tom Brady vs Ryan Reynolds Derby happening tonight. How in the fuck is it ridiculous? We don’t know who’d be interested. That’s the whole point. It’s an absolute stupid thing to ask. Because you cannot for one second say Snoop Dogg has no interest in buying this club. You do not know that. Tom Brady is not the owner of Birmingham.

The timing of it is abysmal.
I know Schumacher was Head Coach and not Manager, but he still would have had input and some degree of influence on our transfer business. And that aside, he would have spent all pre-season and the first month of the actual season coaching them day in, day out. To them sack him so soon after the window shuts, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. That's putting aside his record was actually not too bad. Certainly not in "sacking" territory.
None of it adds up!!
And he wasn't exactly helped by the transfer team. They signed a crock of a centre forward who hasn't been at the managers disposal (Gallagher). They signed a key player in a key position who is injured long term(ish) and unavailable to the manager also (Lawal). They neglected to add a right back. We've only just added the centre forward we've been crying out for, for months. He's had a load of dead wood from previous regimes to shift too. Surely he deserved a month or two at least to make a decent fist of it?
None of it comes across very well at all, from those at the top.
And to risk it all on a guy who has never managed in the Championship before is one hell of a punt. I could just about made sense of it if some big name had become available and we just had to go with it. But that's not the case.
We've backed a guy all Summer. Given him vital time with the squad to coach and shape it in his vision. His overall record since joining has been decent.
We then sack him out of the blue and take a punt on a 36 year old coach with zero managerial experience in the league.
Please excuse me if I'm a little concerned by all this.

The notion that nobody would be interested in Stoke is ridiculous. Especially now we own the ground and training ground again and debt free.

Does John Coates have children? Genuine question. When he decides he’s had enough, is there an heir apparent who he will pass the club on to, assuming he’s still the owner and hasn’t sold the club to Snoop Dogg? Have a look at stan_coates on Instagram. Literally travels Europe blowing his Aunties fortune, which to be fair is preferable than blowing it on a football club. Disappointing, should be stan-n-lolly!

The point of people like Brady in these consortiums is to enhance the profile of the club in non-UK markets.
People in the US for example are not going to be interested in Knightsbridge hedgefund or whatever it’s called, they are going to be interested in Brady being affiliated with a football club whether he owns 3% or 0.3%.
He’s there to be a face, nothing else and you can’t just dismiss it our of hand.
Whilst I’m here, Snoop Dogg ironically was part of a consortium looking to but my hockey team in the NHL last year. So you never know!

No one can tell me Snoop Dogg isn’t interested in investing in us because we don’t know. To think that without the Coates there’s nothing is just pure insanity. Like being brain washed.

I can pretty much say with 95 percent guarantee that Snoop is far too stoned at this time to be considering buying us but I take your point mate.

Yep was competing with a Ryan Reynolds consortium and a Montreal pharma guy for ownership of the Ottawa Senators, boringly the Montreal guy won but it was a funny little period. We’re not talking peanuts here either, it ended up selling for a billion US and all 3 were legit finalists for the ownership.

If you’re going to make the ridiculous argument of naming someone that would be interested in buying us then yes. Don’t make a daft argument that has no answer and then get arsey when a rich bloke who could invest is named.
