Mistaram Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Totally irrelevant Stoke issued a statement saying they would only consider an experienced Prem manager So you can bet theve already sounded him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 In all seriousness, I don't think he will go but I can see the temptation. Stoke is a workable commute so he wouldn't have to move from his current home. He'd be likely to be paid substantially more. I know Stoke are struggling but there are at least 3 worst teams than them in the premiership. Rowett is a confident man and if he was to go, he'd back himself to get them out of their current situation. Their chairman is also known to back their managers all the way. Let's just say that this was a normal every day job. It would certainly be tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point but Stoke's project is a lot more further down the line than ours is. If we're were to go up, more likely than not, we'd be fighting against relegation whereas Stoke are usually comfortably midtable(this season being the anomaly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Gary Rowett has a brain, he's a clever guy, short term, long term, family, love, pride, passion, life, unity or greed and a quick slide down the football game of snakes and ladders. Up The Aberdeenshire Rams. There's only one Super Gary Rowett. And remember all.....eat healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Rams fans to castigate Rowett for not rejecting Stoke job out of hand, failing to say that he hates chips and leaving his hatred of Staffordshire oatcakes unstated in 5....4....3....

Sat Atwal Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Dear Mr Chairman Please call the gaffer into the office on Monday morning, and ask him if he has any interest in the stoke job, if he says yes, ring me Coates and ask if there is genuine interest, if no tell Mr Rowett, if yes send him up and give a 24 hour deadline for an answer. End of story. End of drama. We cannot let what happened before with Macca happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Derby fans aren't half a bunch of old women at times (apologies to old women). As said elsewhere, we want our manager and players in demand and speculated about because that means we're being successful. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen and let's go back to being midtable nobodies. The bottom line is there's no point worrying about something we cannot affect. Some people have too much time on their hands and make up problems. All that said, if I were running Stoke and genuinely looking at Championship managers to preserve my £100m a year Premier League status, it would surely be madness not to go after a certain Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo. But I think for the sake of £100m I'd want a proven Premier League manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, MotD is on in the background and they just flashed up odds on the next Stoke manager (I think ten names on the list) and Rowett's wasn't on there. Nothing to see here.

Carl Sagan Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Here's the start of the betting on next Stoke manager: I didn't capture the entire list but if you keep going down on it all the way to Alan Curbishly or Bob Bradley (who?) at 90 to 1, one name not even on there is a certain Gary Rowett. If anyone is genuinely worried Stoke might poach our manager I suggest you get onto Sky and do a request a bet and put a tenner on Rowett at something like 100 to 1 and if it happens, at least you'll be a grand richer.

Mods - feel free to lock if this is not a credible enough source! If the speculators of this story were to actually engage their brains momentarily and do some proper research, they would understand that GR would be taking a retrograde step moving to a club like Stoke City.

Gandalf's shin pads Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Just taken a look at a few of their forums. A poster on one reckons that (drum roll!!!) Alan Nixon is saying that Stoke have already approached their first choice and are in discussions with their employer regarding his availability. They seem to think that means it's Martin O Neal. Obviously I don't have any idea whatsoever if this is remotely legitimate, just thought I'd throw it out there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
