    I don’t think they have a bounce in them tbh …

    … they’re just not very good.

    It’s good to see them in such a managerial mess after the Alex Neil fiasco.

    Feel sorry for Gooch. Hasn't he been through sacking numerous managers with us?

    Pressure on those at the top to replace him properly. Serious threat of a relegation battle

    They're right in it already …

    … 3 points away with Sunderland and Burnley next.

    They’re just a nasty little club with a stupid nickname.

    They should go for Alex Neil, he’s got a track record for getting clubs out of League One.

    The ****ing prick.

    Karma's a bitch. They poached the snake from us and gambled on giving him the money they didn't given Michael O'Neill to build a team to contest promotion, only for him to waste it. Now they can't spend their way out of trouble without breaching FFP, have a squad full of (relatively) well paid ****e bought by previous managers (Alex Neale, mostly) that no manager worth their salt would want to take on, knowing they'd be under pressure from game one to get results. They don't seem to have any long term plans or vision for what they want to be and have knee jerked into appointing Peach then sack him quickly without any idea who to replace him with. I could feel sorry for them, but no, they're getting what they deserve

    I've heard they ran after Daniel Farke in the carpark at full time.

    It'll be interesting to see how he gets on there. They're mid table right now, but Harris had them just outside the play offs until recently. Personally I think Harris had them punching above their weight, so I can see them slipping back down the. How will he react if that's the case? He might have had a decent reputation after getting us up, but after what happened at Stoke, he's on a low edge now. If this goes wrong I think he'll be finished as a championship manager.

    Agree mate. Looks a bad fit from the start doesn’t it that.

    By the time of the cup game we will have played them three times in a month under three different managers. That can’t have happened very often.

    This assume they appoint someone.

    Something deeply wrong at Stoke, they are lucky to be in the Championship the way they have went through managers.

    I agree, he does a decent job …

    … just seems to leave a bad smell behind him.

    He’s one of the bookies favourites, wouldn’t wish Stoke on him like
