The club is really pushing him on us ain’t they.
Never before has there been so much propaganda for a new manager.

Reading Walters talking about his long-term admiration for Narcis, you wonder to what extent this was inevitable from March. It was probably first planted as he thought about becoming a sporting director, and you'd imagine these thoughts about his dream candidate started to crystallize when he got the job here. Obviously succession planning is commendable, but there must be a danger that you're never going to be happy until you bring in this idealised candidate you've conjured up in your mind, and start to subconsciously find fault in everything the guy appointed by others, who doesn't fit your perfect template, does and start to pine for the coach you've had tucked away in your pocket. Reading what he had to say (Walters) it's quite obvious Schumacher has been on a hiding to nothing for a while now. This has been in the pipeline for a bit. I wonder what would have happened had we pasted Oxford and won a few more in a row. Seems like that performance was the perfect opportunity to execute this plan. |

I get the feeling Walters doest want anyone at the club he hasn't bought in himself,J C needs to watch his back. Jon I've found a buyer I like, I'm afraid you've got to sell! 😂 |

That's one game you idiot. Just admit it. You didn't want Schuey and hated him from the start. It’s not just one game is it though. I really liked SS and wanted him to succeed but there has been so many terrible performances and inconsistency that I shed no tears that he’s gone Let's face it, if he was a huge success at any point, he would have fucked off elsewhere. This is football. |

Somehow I've gone from "who is that" to "champions league inside 4 years" in the last couple of days😂 Sorry but this just seems like the Club are desperately trying to justify this appointment now. Have we ever had a video from the official account saying how good a new manager is before? He speaks well and the fans will be behind him so let him just get on with it. Don’t put him on a pedestal until he has actually achieved something… |

I get the feeling Walters doest want anyone at the club he hasn't bought in himself,J C needs to watch his back. This is Walter's actual job. i.e. to make decisions about who we should bring in. I don't understand why he is getting criticism for simply doing his job as if he has somehow overstepped his mark. Its also part of his job to explain the decisions he makes, which he's also bizarrely getting criticised for. |

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! Hahahahaha really? I was just pulling a ridiculous name out of the hat because of fucking stupid the argument is. We just don’t know who’d be interested. But someone definitely would. |

It's Walters job to introduce the new head Coach isn't it, you know, tell us a little bit about him as we're grumbling away that he's a no-mark Random Rookie and all that apparently?  |

But then saw people are actually upset we got rid of Schumacher which I don’t get because he’s done nothing. So I think it’s that and that our fanbase may not trust a foreigner. |

I mean that he mentioned he was a foreigner in his interview I found unusual and like he was told to say it. And then they’ve wheeled out Muni 🤣 |

Can’t believe the negativity towards the new boss, his coaches and Walters. I personally think Schu can consider himself a little unlucky and I would’ve given him a few more games, but this is Walters job and hasn’t everyone been crying for a football man to be on between JC and the coal face?
What’s done is done, it’s cost fans nothing and we don’t run the club so why not give everyone a chance eh?

Welcome to Stoke Señor Pèlach! Rather sadly you are probably correct. If not tonight then by end of October. Me? I don’t know what to think. SS was not best pleased to be booted and rightly so. What other club bins a manager who won 7 of the last ten? ( cue a poster giving a link to clubs who’ve done that 🤨). To be replaced by a bloke most of us have never heard of and who has never been in such a senior position. I wish him well, as I have with every other manager for the last 50 odd years (tbf I never liked Alan Ball - you just knew when he came in as no 2 what would happen). Someone said earlier ‘ that’s football’ - it is but it doesn’t make what hapiened right. We will never know what went on but in the face of it the club hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory. However if Chicho turns out to be the best thing since an Oatcake Paella then all this will be forgottten by most. Hope as always we win tonight. |

For gambling with the club. So you'd still be angry with Walters if it all worked out well? Less angry, I'll admit. I don't trust him though |
