Leeds are held to a 1-1 draw at home to Coventry!! Leeds players kicking off about something at the end.
I haven`t given up on a top 2 finish yet - that 10 point lead can disappear just a quick as it was established.
Now being reported that Schumacher has told Plymouth he wants to leave to join Stoke. Agreement in principle between the clubs.
Strange decision IMO. Stoke is a club that seems to be drifting along in the middle of the Championship for quite a long time now. Every time I see Stoke on the TV, their stadium seems about half full, if that. I think if he waited, continued to build his reputation at Plymouth, he'd get a better offer down the line.
I guess he feels that 16th in the Championship is about as good as things get at Plymouth Argyle. I do remember one of their fans on Twitter or TSP saying that they had by far the lowest budget in the division and Schumacher would not be there at the end of the season if they did well, because he will get nabbed. He's a Scouser, so he gets to move to a club that's an hour from home too. Stoke have been badly run for a while and is definitely a club drifting along, as you say, but they do have some resources and have been willing to spend. Must feel he has a better chance of raising his stock further by turning them around than he does by hanging on at Plymouth and hoping it doesn't go south. He's been linked to some better jobs (Saints + Sunderland, more recently) but he's been overlooked for those, so I suppose he feels Stoke makes sense as the next step up from Plymouth. Nathan Jones to Plymouth in time for their visit to St. Mary's on Dec 29, anyone?
