Shame, but after that FA cup final appearance and a cheeky jaunt round Europe at the expense of bumming us 5-0 at wembely followed by the shitheads relegating us on last day of the season I hope they go down next season.

Shit club.
shit ground.
Shit fans.

They are obviously suffering from 'Massive Club Syndrome' and think they can get some foreign dickhead in to make them win the league, deluded fools!

Pulis is a half decent manager and stoke should be happy with their lot, they will struggle to attract the manager they want IMO...

Was hoping he'd take them down next season to be honest, gutted. Hope they appoint somebody shit.

Yet another piece of nonsense. He was a decent manager. The football wasn't brilliant- but it was OK for a small town provincial club.

Some owners are deluded cretins. Who the hell do Stoke think they are?

Pulis spent a hell of a lot of money at Stoke, and not particularly well. He'd clearly taken the club as far as he could. I don't think you can accuse the Coates family of being 'deluded cretins' they've been ridiculously good for the club.

Fact is though even having spent as much as he has they play dreadful football, only have a couple of players that would make any money for them (Shawcross and Begovic, are very negative and only just stayed up this season.

It's not a clear cut decision, but it's not a bad one.

The owners are deluded, I remember seeing an interview on Sky sports saying they belonged in the champions league as they are as big as arsenal or Liverpool.

I bet this think they can get someone like Mancini in and win the league next season playing beautiful football.

watch - bet they go in for him.

If that's true then I agree they need their heads examined, but I think your mistaken.

Im not mistaken, I remember me and my mate laughing about it.

Maybe they said 'we could be' instead of 'are' but why take some of the sensationalism away from a post for no reason...

Pulis' Stoke team were in steady decline, I would have expected them to be relegated next season with him.
Watch out for Gordon Facking Taylor saying how wrong it is.
I hate Stoke.

Thing is no matter which manager comes in he is going to have to do one of two things, carry on with the hoofball/thuggish displays, or get rid of a lot of that team, and build from scratch, either way I think Stoke are playing the Billy big bollocks card here.

Shit fans?

they pack the ground every week and it's one of the nosiest grounds in the league.

Hate Pulis though, glad he's gone.

He's made them what we were under Megson - a marginally safe PL club playing crap football with a team built on a handsome budget.
Stoke fans watch it week in week out, at the end of the day. It's very easy to form an opinion like "they're just getting ahead of themselves, arrogant bastards", from the outside looking in but there's always more to it than that. This was most people's perceptions of Bolton fans when Megson was sacked.

There's no doubting they can get somebody decent in and progress if he's given the budget Pulis had.

I kind of agree with you - Pulis certainly bought certain types of players - they have a lot of big physical players, all their strikers are big tall players - Crouch, Jerome, Walters, Kenwyn Jones. But their midfield is not bad, they have options on the wings with Kightly, Pennant and Etherington. Central midfielders look ok in Palacios, Adam, N'Zonzi, Whitehead and Whelan. They have some alright defenders too in Huth, Shawcross, Wilkinson, etc.
Obviously a new manager will surely want to change their style of play and will need to bring new players in but I don't think it will have to be as drastic as you say.

As MB says, Stoke have a pretty decent side on paper, just a shame Pulis always went for the long ball bully boy style of football with fucking giants up front.

The owners have a fair bit of money so I can't see them being short on offers for the job.

I remember Pulis saying he was using the 'Sam Allardyce Blueprint' for Stoke. Maybe he'll now go to Newcastle in 4 weeks.

Do you think Pullis asked Megson how to take a team into decline when ginger nuts was bibs and cones man there? Laughing

I can't believe that Stoke are 4th in the player net spend table in the prem over the past four seasons. If this is true Pulis deserves to be sacked.

I was also shocked to see Aston Villa above them in 3rd place!
