Man City will never win the Champions League

It would just be nice to have a year where two of the promoted teams didnt have parachute payments. Brentford all the way for me.

Bournemouth cheated to get up anyway - karma.

Yes

Not sure I could have any less sympathy if I tried

A couple of points ahead of Sheffield United. That would have kept us happy last season. Southern snobs

That explains why we didn't turn up at Wembley then. Three times, Frank. Three times!

Or, he could take the England job and bang on about how lucky he feels getting the job. Then film a black and white video of himself standing on the Wembley pitch looking at the stands- maybe throw a photo of him staring at a photo of Alf Ramsey holding the world cup into the mix.
In twelve months he could have Uncle Harry on Talk sport banging on about how England can do one as the Brazil jobs become available and he's off .  We can then have 6 weeks of build up destroyed while he goes on holiday pretending he's considering his options and getting his back room staff in order.  One week before the world cup he can leave England with a couple of half arsed warm up's against Papau New Guinea and The Galapagos  and half a squad of players. Pre tournament training will be ran by Jimmy' five bellies' Gardner as no-one can be arsed to turn up and take it.
 

Even if they approached Alex Neil legally why on earth would he want to go from a team that only needs to win its game in hand to go top of the table to a team that is rock bottom. Stoke must been completely out of their minds if they think that would work.

Lololol.
So any plan they did have involved approaching Alex Neil. And now they’ve cocked that up. And Preston say there is now absolutely no way they’ll speak to them, and not only that, but they’ve now been reported. 
What a ducking shambles?!?!
?
 

What on Earth is he thinking?

I hope it hasn't /doesn’t kill Jones career, just a rum situation to try to take on. Given the notional talent in the stoke squad even a duff manager should be safely mid table because the 11 on the pitch aren't all that bad.
From without, it seems Stoke is a toxic steaming pile of squitty dog poo, and the football club just as bad (can't comment on port Vale tbh)

He's been gone too long.

I've suddenly had trick of treaters turning up at my house. This isn't America we dont do that here.
And Christmas i only care about because of the time off. Make Halloween a national holiday and i'm on board with the whole thing.

Christmas is a struggle too.

I think you think I'm responding to a different post to the one I was responding to. I was responding to your post from the other day about us not getting any Chelsea loans this season. I was just saying that I don't get the feeling we actually really wanted any of the players Chelsea made available for clubs at our level.

In fairness Chelsea aren't loaning many out this season - only 27 of them... 
I assume our club just decided to somehow burn all of our bridges with Lampard and now we are black listed by Chelsea. Either that or our scouts are useless, but that couldn't possibly be true.
Burton Albion have more Chelsea loanees than we do!!

Miserable selfish sod could have loaned us a couple of decent prospects just for old times sake tho.......
Or perhaps he rang and our useless cretinous scouts put the phone down on him cos they didn't recognize the name.....?

And then return to Derby after winning World Cup again.

When I had to work with the cockneys down south last year none of them were bothered about how Tomori was doing with us. They only cared about Mount. Good to see they have changed their tunes now and definitely think he deserves the England call up - we aren't exactly blessed with dozens of quality centre backs right now.

Looks like Tomori is getting an England call up. Well done that man!
