He runs a chip shop outside Old Trafford. pretty sure he'd turn them down too. how would that feel? Turned down by the owner of a chippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I don't consider any team outside the top 6 as an established PL team, yes the likes of Stoke have been there a while but they are only one or two bad decisions away from not being a PL team, and that is looking very likely ATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Southampton and Newcastle struggle. Clubs like us, Leeds, Forest, and Wednesday have been underperforming for a long time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you consider those teams have been underperforming, maybe the Championship is their natural level. We've been out of the Premiership or Division 1 longer than we've been in it.

Agree with the fact that you have to utilise some sort of loose metric to decide whether a club should be in the Top Flight or not such as fan base etc, the hard facts though are that we have been out of the Top Flight for more years than we have been in it - so this would point to the fact that really we are not a Top Flight club.

Andicis Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 What happened to all their fans saying Rowett would definitely leave us to manage them as it was a step up... rejected by 3 different managers now, and resorting to employ Paul Lambert by the sounds of it..

Andicis Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 ''Even the way he wears his ******* collar is making me want to self harm. **** this ******* **** off Stoke. Leave it with Kevin and Eddie for the season for my liking, anything but this ******* goon. I've honestly never been so against anything.'' ''Our club is a mess, Our club is a mess, F*cking Paul Lambert, you're taking the piss'' ''Someone posted earlier saying"a half decent manager could get more out of our squad" The ******* trouble is,Lambert is not even half decent. He is that bad,he would relegate Everton FFS.'' ''It HAS to be a joke.'' ''I feel ******* sick. I can’t even write any hyperbole or anything, I just feel dejected. What a bunch of ******* we have running our football club.'' Think it's safe to say the Stokies aren't happy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure then, based solely on your criteria of overall years in the top flight, who would be in the top twenty. Don’t you have to factor in things like titles and cups won to get a more complete picture of a club’s achievements? If we’re talking current perception, then surely that is also weighted to trophies won in living memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It's obvious that Stoke had an agreement with Chico Sanchez Flores to join then for whatever reason he bailed out leaving they truly high and dry without any Plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EulogyForEvolution Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'd like to extend an early welcome to Stoke back into the Championship. If we pass them on their way down, I'd like to take Kurt Zouma, Joe Allen, and Xherdan Shaqiri on trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
