Suppose that means very little these days. He gave all the right signals in that regard, didn’t he? I must admit that I thought he’d stay long enough to get some reasonable runs up for his resume too. I mean we all know he did well at Burton and Birmingham...but his achievements were all what I call, “despites”. He did well at Burton despite it being such a small club. He did well at Birmingham despite the turmoil surrounding the club. I honestly thought he had to stay at least 2-3 seasons to put some real meat on what he’s done as a manager. But I also thought Clement would struggle to get another job after publicly demeaning his successor and attacking players and club at Swansea.

Onwards - just need to make sure we get a proper manager in now. I think I have read this statement on this forum at on at least 5 different occasions over the last 5 years. Here we go again.

Parsnip Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Rowett needs to have a good season with Stoke if he wants to step up to the Premiership anytime soon. Gaining a reputation for being unyrustworthy is one thing, but untrustworthy & unsuccessful - that's his career over. Big gamble for Gaz really.

I have seen at least 20 names banded about but that just shows that theres no outstanding candidate. Scary. I think there are three realistic, and appealing candidates, and while Cook and Smith are currently employed, I don’t think Warburton is, so you’d imagine if we’re quick then there would be a good chance of getting him. Just need Rowett to sling his hook as quick as possible so we can speed things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 He was told it was a restructuring job from the start, he just can't be arsed simple as that. Better more appealing offer has come along and he's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smyth_18 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I don't even know where to start on the forum today. Seems like so much is happening yet not a lot. Derby County can't give our emotions a bit of a rest can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manicsheepreacher Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Our likable manager has left us for Stoke flippin City! Just think about that for a moment. It’s like my childhood sweetheart leaving me for that fat sanctimonious bacon muncher from the garage all over again. A plague on Gary’s trainer collection!!!

My gripe with Rowett isn't that he is leaving, it is that he didn't do a better job whilst he was here. I may be putting my head on the chopping board for this but.... As an add on to this, and to possibly make a more general point about English football, but isn’t it possible that part of the problem we currently have, is that a young white English manager can seemingly have a job with better wages/signing on fees etc fall on his lap whilst achieving nothing? He’s not even had to hit his goals to get it. Then you read stories about how others find it so hard to enter management in the first place whilst we start having to look at who’s available on the management merry go round.

Kennington Ram Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Shame on Gary really, leaving half way through a job at a pivotal time, after a solid "B" grade year in the job. He's a coward, and it'll bite him in the arse in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not that popular but, If Stimac was the manager there is no way he would leave us like that. too much respect and heart for us to be treated like that.

I've heard that before, really not creating a great reputation for himself is he, left Burton, sacked from Brum for flirting with other clubs and now leaving us after signing a brand new contract in January, if the Stoke job goes south don't imagine many clubs would give him a job. Wouldn't get much sympathy from me if that happened though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree with whoever else said that maybe he's well aware of his own limitations. So he sees Stoke as the easier opportunity to get to the Prem. Or maybe he's just a bit dim and wants the money cos I reckon Stoke could have a touch of the Sunderlands about them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
