  1. So we’ve sacked a young coach who is learning for a younger, less experienced one? Having built a squad for the first coach? 

    This is the sort of appointment that can work. But we’ve proven time and again that we don’t have the patience and structure for young coaches to thrive 

  2. 🥲 Make it make sense. Just when I thought we couldn’t look more clueless behind the scenes, where has this come from?!

  3. He was caretaker for us for a couple of games in between managerial sackings….can’t remember him being that great, however we were really bad in general during those times

  4. Given Stoke came back in for most of our staff after Schuey joined them from us, I am surprised other clubs aren’t a bit more reluctant to let them approach their staff.

    Thought he was decent at Town but always a risk stepping up to manage. Especially a team like stoke where expectations are high along with the budget.

    If it’s a coberan 2.0 then great. But it is funny the managerial trends of trying to get the assistant coach or a good manager to replicate the same success. Sometimes it works ie Guardiola – Arteta but sometimes it massively flops ie: Allardyce – Sammy Lee. You can’t get better than the real thing imo

  6. Just as i thought we would have a stable dressing room for 5 minutes…

    In a all fairness we can’t get in his way if there’s a managerial role for him.

    If this is true then i dont understand,

    Pélach might be different than schumacher but they are both young coaches.

    Maybe schumacher offended coates and thats why he went cause this isnt the bigshot name thats gonna get you a guaranteed playoff spot.

    When are the board at Stoke going to realize they’re the problem? I mean, just how many times do they have to get it wrong?

  9. I love Narcis, big part of the Corberan set up and stayed loyal after he left…but I just don’t see him being a good manager. Looked pretty out of his depth in the few games he caretaker for us. One of those people who’s talent is just in the backroom coaching role IMO

    Hope it works out though

  10. Don’t worry Norwich Stoke poaching your manager early in a season usually works out well for you.
