    then surely TP has to go?, I really am torn with what I want to happen this season, obviously I dont want us to lose and get relegated, but if we stay up then TP stays and we SUFFER another season of pathetic negative performances. I hate to say it but its a lose lose situation for all the stoke fans.
    I would love to see what another manager could do with the squad of players we have now.

    Pulis out!!

    Its a difficult one because its awful wanting your team to lose to prove the obvious. I dont think TP will go even if we lose the game myself!

    I don't think the squad is that bad more the manager and his philosphy. The defence works short of a left back, 2 wingers Nzonzi and Adam is also a plus, and Jones and Jerome upfront. A balanced team that won't win every week but will give an account of itself. You could sell most of the rest and bring some youngsters in to keep the outlay down. I think most managers could get something out of the squad but may have to inject some confidence after all Nero's fiddling!!

    Nero out!!!

    I think that the squad is easily capable of playing good football and finishing in the top 10, unfortunately I cant see either happening with Pulis at the helm.

    Pulis out!!

    Agree with all of that fella's but delete the Pulis out IMO. The ONLY reason I say that is because like Smither's I am 100 per cent certain that T.P. would not WALK OUT!
    Can I see Mr Coates giving him the heave ho! Nope. IMO and I said it previously is that Saturday is a MUST WIN for Stoke City F.C. Not so much for Clueliss but I FEAR the fans will finally CRACK!

    For the SAKE of the PLAYER'S and US the FANS can I PLEASE ask you ALL. Not to make your feeling VOCAL until the game has finished. WIN, LOSE or DRAW having a go a Mr Clueliss while the game is being played is IMHO of no use whatsover. The player's NEED US. We DON'T need T.P. NOW, Sat or EVER again telling US what to do.

    I.E. I don't want the hear T.P. say " We need the fans as much as we've ever needed them". Finally, IF that's IF Clueliss PICKS the right TEAM (our best player's) they will TRY and I KNOW all of US will sing our heads off. IF he does NOT play an attacking team.. He can GO A.S.A.P. ALL we are asking for is for SOMETHING to sing FOR Mr P.

    K.T.F. one and all. <ok>

    If he did go who would we bring in?
    Adkins?
    Di Matteo?

    ANY Manager who can pick a winning team from OUR squad, would only need half a brain, Clueliss can't do it so maybe..

    The guy from Swindon he has passion, pride, will to win and he falls out with anything and anyone except the player's. <ok>

    Di Canio for me Mr Coates. <ok>

    Potts,

    Good call Paolo Di Canio ( his mates call him kick) Lots of Passion and has done wonders at Swindon which is not the most fashionable place in the world.

    Potts. I agree with your every word here and your earlier post , ie save your boos until after the match. I would be much encouraged if di Canio was to become our manager.

    I have never booed Stoke and never would, I have never really understood why anyone would boo their own team whilst they are still playing. I have nothing against the players, its the manager who I have a problem with and the sooner he goes the sooner we can really start to get the best out of the players we have.

    Silence is far more effective!

    RIC,RIC... <yikes>

    WHERE DID I say you did mate? re boo,jeer the team. I was not having a go at you personally..

    I said "IF we lost on Saturday I fear the fans will crack" I was sitting at the Wigan game and tbh it won't take much more for (certain fans) around me to start having a go a either Pulis, the player's or both...

    SORRY if you thought it was a personal attack on you Ric. Becuase it was never intended to read like that, nor meant by me!

    SURE Jeer Clueliss AFTER the game IF it makes you feel any better.

    Smither's,
    GREAT idea re the silence but personally, I get behind the player's whatever happens. SHOULD Clueliss do something vs Reading I don't like, I will let him know HOW I feel and start a T.P. OUT chant... let's just make sure that Mr Coates can hear it. AFTER the game, not during it. Let's all calm down please. <peacedove>
