Stoke Relegation Thread

Recommended Posts

Presumably the surprisingly delay is  just sorting out compensation for Jones and then being in a position to announce the new manager almost immediately. 

In my opinion, where it has gone wrong for Jones is his signings. As a manager/coach I don’t think he’s that bad. But he has spent money, decent money and brought in by championship standards poor to mediocre players.

Add to that he tends to publicly criticise players which never goes down well, Clearly he is not liked by the playing staff and as usual they blame the manager as opposed to their own poor performances.

To me, the situation over there looks like a downward spiral which looks very difficult to reverse.

Whoever the manager maybe.

When our noisy cousins down the road were threatened with relegation from the Premiership, a university based economic "Expert" predicted that the City of Stoke on Trent would suffer economically to the tune of a few hundred millions.

This has got me thinking,can anyone point out who or what has suffered from their deserved (In my opinion) demise ? because as sure as hell I can't.

Radio Stoke that bastion of equality where football is concerned made a big play on this saying many times what a tragedy it would be for the local economy if Denis Smiths side were relegated, obviously that came to pass and now they are marooned at the foot of the Championship, does this mean the end of Stoke on Trent as we know it or do you think it will survive ?

Sometimes in life things happen which no one can fully explain. Such as hundreds of frogs simultaneously falling from the sky, world war 2 bombers found on the moon and Elvis discovered working in a chip shop in Peckham.

Jones not getting the bullet rates marginally higher than these.

Remarkable.

Looks like they had Hughton in their sights and he has turned them down according to the Mirror,once they have a replacement agreeing to go there, Jones ,cruelly, will be given the chop.

Look..... He seems a good bloke and the ideal manager to take stoke into the future and I just hope the Coates family see it the same way.

I've just turned the job down just checked with Bet 365 and my wife is now 2 /1 favourite. On a serious note when do you stop sacking managers and put the spotlight on where it rightly belongs the players.
