You have to accept that you are never gonna win the league or the champions league. So surely you should at least try and play some good football to entertain your loyal fans? I can udnerstand cheslea playing negative and dull football to get to a cl final. But your not in that position. What is the point of playing not-entertaining footie and ending up 12th when you could play a bit of nice stuff and end up 13th? Makes no sense.

Could be, this season, that we play not-entertaining football and finish 14th !!

Let me just tell you my perspective on you boys. Firstly you do have a great atmosphere and good fans. But your club really is going in the wrong direction imo.

It isnt like you havent invested the money needed to transform into a more exciting team to watch (and not a team based around time wasting set pieces and headers). With the money pullis spent you could of picked up some quality players and could now be playing football more like newcasltes to keep your fans entertained and excited. Instead Pullis seems to have spent millions just buying players who can fit into your rigid set piece orientated tactics. This makes no sense. I could udnerstand using these tactics to stay in the league, but with the money spent you shouldnt be having to play such a way just to stay in lower mid table and in the league.

I really think its going to be a long haul for your club. I would imagine that a relegation battle is just around the corner. And then what?

This post sums up how 80% of Stoke fans feel, eexcellent post my friend!!!. I could not have put it better myself!!!.
 
Its nice to recieve an outside view that is respectful and constructive - hopefully if all fans were to read this they would see logic in it without falling out amongst themselves. If anyone has an Oatcake account, maybe they should blog the comment on there to see what sort of response there is - I have noticed that the discussions on there have moved away from the 80%+ pro pulis to a more balanced point!
