Peter Coates is retiring ? Just heard it from Tony Pulis on Radio Stoke???????????????????

When asked about HIS position he said " I don't want to talk about it" HANG onto your hats one and all.

Well if It is true hope they do sumert show appreciation for what coates has done since coming back into the fold. It would really be writing on the wall for pulis. It feels like coates was his only allie this season. Gonna be an interesting few weeks thats for sure

Well, I heard Pulis say it so unless he's telling porkys. I think the word used by Comm's on R Stoke was "Resigning" same difference I think?

Who'll be our new chairman?

Whelan?
A Russian/Arabian Billionaire?

Not heard the interview but reading that a few reckons he was being sarcastic. Hope not! Because if John or Denise took over (especially if John) then TP is a definite gonner.

Sarg
IF he was being sarcastic he is a total and utter BELLEND... tbh his interview was like "I really can not be bothered with this" That? Is how I heard it at least.
God knows what's happening.

Well, well, hope to here more news in the near future, I wonder if they will try to put his nose out of joint and get him to resign or just sack him on Monday.
