First Collins....now Souttar....I hate this no money league What is the point in an academy if you can't profit from the players that benefit from it? It is about time we sold a player who is at high value, its good business. The time is to be spent on nurturing Taylor to do the same thing in a couple of years time. Shame we failed to do this with Butland and Allen and we are missing the boat with Brown and arguably Tymon/Campbell. Just annoyed we don't get to see our young players develop and stay with us..that would also benfit scfc. Would of been great to see souttar and Collins as scfc centrebacks in the prem...but the Financial state we're in and the crazy ffp rules in the efl make it virtually impossible to build a team around quality players...the inly way out of this league is with players who the prem managers dint think are good enough for the prem and hope we get the mix right.... Let's hope the souttar money is invested wisely...

Dear Stoke City and fans.
Thanks for developing me for the last 4 years, sorry about the injury when on international duty which ruled me out for almost a year but cheers for getting me fit to play in the world cup and showcase my talents. All the best for the rest of the season.
Harry.

Should have given Dean Holden a chance rather than sacking him on the pitch after the Blackburn win (who were top at the time) . Doing a fine job at Charlton and they had a great game against Man Utd midweek too pushing them till the final minutes at Old Trafford. Can’t help but agree. Would they of played for holden as manager...when they didn't play for him as assistant manager..all that would of happened is the board would of taken the stick for taking ghe easy option when replacing MON.

We are in real risk of relegation here, and for that reason we need to sell Souttar ASAP, to fund 4-5 transfers we desperately need. New GK, CB, CDM, Winger, Striker My team would then be: - - - - - - - NEW GK CLARKE - NEW CB - JAGIELKA - TYMON - - - BAKER - - NEW CDM CAMPBELL -- POWELL - - NEW LW - - - - - NEW STRIKER We simply have too many gaps and not enough funds, prepare for League 1 if we keep Souttar, as much as I like him Clarke and Tymon as fullbacks!!?? That's a recipe for disaster! First goal cross from right wing...Wilmot rb. Third goal cross from left wing..tymon lb..and nowhere to be seen....again!

Shocked by this. Expected him to go out on loan but to bin the best goalkeeper in the country at his age seems strange Remember his first few games when he came on for Davies He was bloody brilliant Like someone else posted I think this will come back on us and make us look foolish Anyway good luck to the lad 100% agree. He was worth keeping, hope they've included a massive sell on clause.

Im hoping we can get Powell off the books and use the wage for someone else, I do not want to resign him in the summer as he spends more time in treatment! What strikers are on fire in the division below or North of the Border? Totally agree....although your brave even suggesting that on here.

Many allowed the hype of his u23 scoring record and his surname to convince us pur saviour was a teenager with no league experience whatsoever....as we have seen, he has shown glimpses of potential but otherwise shown he is not ready for this level of football..
I hope when the next signing/striker is announced we can avoid putting expectation on them from the minute they sign and embrace reality with our signings and Hope the manager has got it right this time.

if we can get rid today - do it. money today or future fees is just a bonus. 3 years down the line...Stoke fans in meltdown as millions of pounds from sales of Collins, souttar and bursik wasted on championship journeymen as fans cry out for a team of young hungry players.

Can we retire the male top knot as well.... it must never be seen again in public... if you see one it would be an insult to the bale memory and you must slap the face of the blasphemer as hard as you can.

Its great the labour leader and multi millionaire land owning knight of the realm and probable next PM will continue the process started by the tory twat PM.. reminds me of a sketch from blackmailer when the army colonel played by Stephen Fry described the German soldiers as treacherous murdering savages while describing the British army as brave and patriotic heroes.... ...made me smile anyway. 😉 If you're going to be a smart arse at least get your facts right. The process wasn't started by this new Tory twat PM nor the previous nor the one before that. The process was started by the "Dancing Queen" Tory twat PM. Thanks didn't realise the tory twats thinking was years ahead before sir kier latched on.

Starting in central midfield for them today. Good luck son! Thank goodness he's playing in his proper position. That wing back shite probably knocked him back two years. Sparrows not made to be a wing man.

Now you can see why FFP is needed. All, or almost all the £180m we lost over 4 years was committed to by previous managers. Yes owners should be allowed invest their own money as they wish, but they shouldn't be allowed commit the club to future spending that is beyond it's means if the owner withdraws his/her/their support. Getting that right will not be simple. I think we really need to get back to all transfer fees being paid in full when the player is bought. This would go a long way in forcing clubs to live within their means. Owners investing over a certain level need to pay up front the costs they're committing the club to. It's already being discussed, Scudamore was quoted on it not long ago. Nothing in black and white as yet but shows it's under discussion at senior level. Given the new PM's (Tory twat) enthusiasm for imposing a football regulator and other reccomendations of the fan led review, major changes to football's governance and finance should be somewhere in the not too distant future(Labour were already commited to implementing it if they come to power). Its great the labour leader and multi millionaire land owning knight of the realm and probable next PM will continue the process started by the tory twat PM.. reminds me of a sketch from blackmailer when the army colonel played by Stephen Fry described the German soldiers as treacherous murdering savages while describing the British army as brave and patriotic heroes.... ...made me smile anyway. 😉

Baker played several balls out of play. Such a shame because as we’ve seen there’s an excellent player in there Is there though, without the goals there wasn't really all that to him before, maybe a little more effort but not much else. Maybe we're seeing the reason he's been a football nomad until his mid twenties plying his trade in a Turkish league...that is until spotted the gem

Be careful what you wish for when you want the Coates family out. I’m not quite sure who is out there with money and the slightest interest in SCFC. Crazy position to take in my opinion Who knows what's out there should the need arise. Bournemouth have just been bought out and there were 9,000 there to greet him for his first Premier League game. Do you think he's there for his love of bournemouth or is he there for the Premier league money...

It’s seems an horrendous thought, but is it the reset we need? Didn't some say that when we sleepwalked out of the Premier league

Thompson, Clarke, fox and laurent when he got his 5 minutes are the only ones who looked like they cared today..
Baker disgrace of a captain. Slowly jogging around the midfield all game having no impact..
And the love in with powell has to stop...what exactly did he bring to the party today.

It was and has been for a long time absolute shite, however we can’t keep sacking the manager and rinse repeating.. the players simply aren’t good enough. Good point Mr Sheeran.

Watching on the red button.....and it's genuinely scary how we look. If the players have turned on the manager & his methods then its a disgrace at a minimum If it is the manager & his ways, then why the fudge did we get him in the first place? The players haven't earned any right to turn on the manager....they are over paid poor footballers who have already got the manager who bought most of them the sack.. spineless bunch of wasters..

Why the obsession with biscuit legs.. he's had 0 impact on any game he's come off the bench for... if he can't beat smallbone into the first 11 he's got a problem. Because, on his day, played in the correct position, he's one of the best in the league and one who can create chances Let me know when his day is...between his injuries.

How did we all feel when Frank lampards shot bounced over the line v Germany in the world cup but was disallowed...and we were out...what we would of given for the right result to be made that day...
Yes it slows the game down..but it gets the right result and justice is done
If japans goal had been disallowed they would be out the world cup..and that would of been a mistake.
