Never thought I'd see the words 'Catalan coach' and 'Dean Whitehead' in the same sentence!

"The methodology will be different, the training will be intense every day, sometimes it won’t be comfortable and players and coaches will be challenged a lot."
Good luck with that!

Really do feel for Schuey, statement is a touch of class but we already knew that about him anyway, no doubt that he will be a success in whatever lays ahead for him. As for that statement from Pelach, seem really driven, knowledgeable and by all account a very sort after coach. Welcome to the madhouse Narcis, good luck I also agree about getting the fans re engaged. He did that where so many others have failed. |

Lovely announcement of the club, opening with Jon Walters reminding everyone how important he is. Good luck Narcis, you'll need it. Yup. Sporting Director Jon Walters said: “Across the extensive dialogue I’ve had across football, including at the highest levels of the game, Narcís is one of the most respected and sought-after coaches around" Really Jon, really? |

Absolutely guaranteed that after his first loss there WILL be people saying he’s shite or similar words.😁

Where’s that quote? Not too sure what the outrage is here? He is saying that Narcís is very highly spoke of in the game so he is happy to have signed him. It's Jon's job to introduce him, it's his appointment, really nothing to see here. |

Hope Bojan gave a good account of the club when they spoke yesterday...... Oooohhhhh! Juicy. More importantly Narcís asked Bojan if he’s free to do some forward coaching! |

What would be great is if we didn't hear a peep from Walters till fucking Christmas now. And even then I'd rather Narcis wishing me a Feliz Navadad instead.

So, the most respected and sought after coach in Europe is one every single football fan (bar Norwich fans) had to google? Just because 'Jon' says so doesn't make it so. |

If Schumacher had done well with us, he was the sort of guy I could see staying for a long time (wouldn’t necessarily jump ship for a bigger club), always think foreign managers see championship clubs as a stepping stone and leave after one good season.

Hooray! Right, well, I'm fully on board. It's not as though he's just rocked up from managing a school team . No, he's been here, working away in the very division we find ourselves stuck in! It's quite possible he knows more about our team than any of us do. Bienvenido!  |

Welcome Narcis, I wish you the best of luck in your time at Stoke City because I think you will need it.
Heads up, watch your back.

Embarrassing.
Shows how far this club has fallen since Jon Coates took over.
When he's sacked Walters should follow right behind him and the owner should come out and admit he knows nothing about running a football club.

Sounds like a passionate bloke. But then again, so was Nathan Jones. He had me convinced we'd win the world cup.
His lack of experience is a massive concern. His number 2 being a kid who's barely shaving doesn't fill me with confidence either.
Batshit crazy stuff. Just hope he does well. 🙈🤷♂️

He said 'one of' not 'the' and besides that he's hardly going to come out and say he's a massive risk that he hope pays off. He has to introduce him, he knows he has to own this decision and he is doing. |

“I’ve had other chances to become a Head Coach in England and in other countries. But once I saw in their eyes how passionate they are about the Club and how much they want to embrace a different identity and philosophy, I could not refuse and, once I’m in, I’m all in”.
Quite a statement 🤔
