Jack Dawe Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 It's all still to do and be done, here. The future is full of possibility. Stoke have done just about all they can hope for (PL, finishing 9th, losing the Cup final, a few games in Europe, crocking Ramsey and upsetting Arsenal), and, frankly, everyone's a bit tired of Stoke (yawn) now. Their fans shout really, really loud though; something we can aspire to there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Red Hat Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 12 hours ago, RumRed said: It would be a surprise if he wasn’t in the shortlist though surely? Hardly a ground breaking rumour. Exactly. As soon as I read Hughes had been sacked I thought LJ would be said to be "on the shortlist" , no pun intended.

He’s going to be linked with almost every job that becomes available at the ‘big’ teams in the Champ and the mid to low Prem teams, we just have to get used to it. Lazy journalism and bookies will always link a young English manager doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 I haven’t even seen LJ’s name on any ‘shortlist’ for the Stoke job, what have I missed? There’s a ‘longlist’ for the Stoke vacancy on the Oddschecker website containing 28 names, but LJ ain’t on there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 Lee Johnson is likely to be on the shortlist for a lot of clubs. I can’t see him going at the moment and I think Stoke will go for someone with a track record in the premier league. To be fair to Stoke though, they are quite loyal to their managers. I actually think it is one of the more attractive lower league teams for a manager simply because they give managers money and time to build something. They’ve had three managers in 15 and a half years. By contrast we have had 9 in that time. Watford have had 14! It’s actually a decent job for someone - don’t think it will be LJ though.

I cannot see LJ walking out on us for a promotion rival - particularly as he probably has a better shot at going up with us, in so far as that he knows the players here, has the squad he wants and has everyone working to the system he wants and he would have very little time to implement all that at Derby if he were to keep them on track. Stoke would be doing us a massive favour going for Rowett though. Let’s hope they do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I can't see any reason to doubt he would jump at the chance to coach in the prem, and who could blame him. I equally can't see any prem club appointing someone with half a seasons worth of success in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
