    100% with you Ricc. That game agin Rochdale on an ice rink of a pitch...fabulous goal, then THAT terrible injury.

    Prior to that injury Bojan was an absolute genius - a gem of of player. Some come back from that...some don't

    Still do not think that Hughes has handled him very well

    The team should be built around Bojan. We know the talent he has, and Shaqiri, Arnautovic and Muniesa.
    They might be divas, but they are a joy to watch. Hughes/Coates should
    keep them happy
    keep them in the team
    keep them at Stoke !
    Without this kind of player, who do we have that we can drool over ?
    Most of what's left are ordure.

    It will be good to put this one to bed. The pride of Pulis has cost the baggies 10 million plus.

    I agree he's got to be one of the most stubborn people in the world and he seemed very angry in the interview.

    I've never been a fan and he wouldn't have been my first choice on appointment. With all manager changes I feel it should always be in the off season, so with our poor end to last year the Off season was the time to consider - but with his results in general he deserved an opportunity to rebuild.

    This season has been as inconsistent and statistically it will be worse, he's had money but not moved on the old guard? The consideration is now a reality but as Ricc has often said the alternatives have to be considered. For me it's time.

    Many people say sack Hughe's but yet again no one suggests a replacement. Please please tell me who you think will come to Stoke. And please be realistic and don't say rafa lmfao

    I understand that Ricc but I can't see how the club can justify our league position and squad balance after the money spent.

    Agreed. It's not just the results bad as they are. It's the spineless abject displays on the pitch and total incompetance off it

    My main gripe with Hughes has always been him not knowing his best eleven.

    That's Bards and Glen re-signed - nothing like balancing that ageing squad?
