GrahamC Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Thought his time was up when Holden started applying for manager jobs in the summer, he knew it was precarious. Stoke really are a shit show, graveyard of managers with decent reputations, Rowett, Jones & now O’Neill. This despite spending eye watering amounts for years & not doing any better than us. A counter factual to the regular Preston, Millwall, do better than us comments.. Edited August 25, 2022 by GrahamC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I knew his days were numbered when he signed Aden Flint. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Flint when he was here, they were his best years but pretty much stopped being his best days the day he left. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Downs Leeds Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Surprised they never got rid end of last season. Seems to sign a lot of older pro's who have been very underwhelming to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just now, Selred said: Job for Dyche? Likely to hold out for the inevitable round of Premiership sackings. Still, they may make an offer too good to refuse. Fans might not take to his boring tactics though. They had enough of that with Pulis.

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Stoke fans might be a bit surprised given the relative inertia of the Coates family in recent years. However their squad, yeah could do better probably. 1 hour ago, BS3City said: Wasn't very complimentary when we played them IIRC, so no sympathy from me... I remember that, 'worst team in the League' comment! 1 hour ago, Port Said Red said: How many players did they let him sign in the summer? Money to throw away apparently @Mr Popodopolous ! Supposedly they've absolutely slashed expenditure. Read a rather eyebrow raising claim that when he took over their club wage bill was £54m- which it will have been, and had halved by early 2022 or this season whatever- which would make it £27m. Struggling to square some of their signings with this, seem to add PL loanees for fun. 54 minutes ago, maxjak said: Wonder what contract Gayle is on, and how much he is earning there? Again as above supposedly their wage bill is hugely reduced but I'm struggling to square the two. In the last year or 2 yes a shitload of players went but at the same time...players like. Wilmot- Permanent Ostigard- Loan Harwood-Bellis- Loan Gayle- Permanent Maja joined on loan for a half a season and Surridge did but was sold...but won't surely have been on small wages. To name a few....yet the EFL have absolutely nothing to say on their FFP, this one really winds me up for a range of reasons! Will leave it for others to go through their inbound transfers from summer 2021 onwards. Edited August 25, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Geoff Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Damn, another one that Ian Gay got wrong.

Flint was excellent for us especially our promotion season suited our style of play and the supporting players . we went at exactly the right time . he is in danger of becoming a bit of a journey man in my eyes . at this stage in his career would suit the other up the mem. off the subject though god he was / is a miserable sod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rule of Fight Club?.............Don't listen to Mr Gay. Two weeks ago, if i am correct?..... he stated that an £8 mill bid had been made for Andi Weimann.

BS2 Red Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'd love Barton to go there. I hate Stoke, so it'd just add to my dislike of them. And as an added bonus would create some chaos for the Horfield bellends. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
