He's very clued up on Stoke matters mate - usually the first one to get Stoke news out there before it's official. If Still was high on their radar, he'd have said. Still probably a back up for them to the likes of Eustace or Beale - whereas we've got Still as first choice.
No I’m just saying, he might not know all the names and Still might be one he doesn’t know. He is saying he knows there are more in the running from abroad but hasn’t said who they are. So one could be him.
I think that if you're going to speak publicly about having a 5 year plan, a model, and the aim being to return to the Premier league, you need to back it up. Sacking your head coach, and then appointing the first team coach who nobody even considered as a candidate on the back of two games , shows their plan went to ****e and they couldn't get who they wanted. Then the question has to be why not? Do not insult my intelligence and even suggest that Dodds was considered or lined up to take over from Mowbray, as we all know it wasn't the case. If and when he gets it now its a knee jerk reaction, and they clearly couldn't get their man. Considering this huge data base of coaches they supposedly have whereby they consistently monitor coaches, its very ****ing poor.
You're living in a dream world if you think recruiting the person on top of a shortlist is easy. If Dodds is the person who gets it full time it won't be for lack of trying. **** happens, people reject you for a whole number of reasons whether it be money, location, reasons beyond football. Also, think about the fact we could also meet with a coach who we think has all the tools but completely flops in an interview. Your constant digs at the club over something you know **** all about are seriously boring.
There are always a few who'll search for anything with which they can attack the club ... ... if they can't find anything they just make it up and repeat it trying to convince people it's true. They only ever convince one person, themselves
every single gaffer they have appointed have improved us, every single gaffer that got appointed, got slated by the fans
The irony. Considering he's trying to me that they had perhaps identified dodds as the man to take over prior to these two games. Give it a rest and tag me next time
All the appointments were correct but all three were slated. People also slated the club after each of them three departed, yet two proved to be correct and the third is on its way to being correct. Almost as if they know what they are doing and have earned the right to make decisions.
