ilkleyram Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 As an industry football always appears to me, as an interested outsider, to be amongst the most hypocritical of all - participants from Chairman to players loved then hated, and vice versa; humans traded in ways that would have been appropriate 100's of years ago; cheating, lying, fraudulent behaviour (or allegations thereof); racism, sexism, ageism and probably lots of other isms, never mind the abuse of youngsters, of their bodies and dreams, and all wrapped up in the idea of a football 'family' that purports to care for those same people whilst dripping in televisual gold. And yet I still go, still get an excitement and enjoyment that I don't get elsewhere in the same way from anything else or any other sport. There have been very few Rams managers amongst the very many I have seen whose subsequent failings have given me even the slightest bit of pleasure. I don't like seeing people under that sort of pressure knowing they have families and friends and their own mental wellbeing to consider, that however much money they earn it won't make up for the impact and the damage to their pride. But for Messrs Docherty, Davies and now Rowett, and for slightly different reasons for each, I make an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on all of the above, but I’d add Pearson to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The Stoke fans have been so vociferous in their condemnation of Rowett and his style of play (bit ironic coming from them) that surely it's only a question of time before he gets the bullet. The fact that it's now become much more than just a local issue and given the fundamental problems their campaign has been based on, I can't see him getting another job at this level. Shame!

Serious question - isn't that happening already, he's getting dogs abuse on the Stoke forum and even the Daily Mirror are quoting terrace chants against him as part of their match report headlines.

McRainy Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Some seem to think that there's a probation clause in his contract; not in the top six by halfway through the season, dismissed without compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems he lost a lot of face sacking Hughes without having a replacement lined up. Maybe doesn't want to be seen to be making the same mistake... if it's true.

Would seem odd to have that clause and also let him spend £30m and bring in a shed load of coaches. But then, paying off managers has cost Mel a Bob or two, so perhaps.

Really can’t see rowett agreeing to that clause having just negotiated a new contract with derby , I would be stunned if it turned out rowett has put himself in a position to be out of pocket after half a season with stoke ,, no way ,just daft rumours, i for one am glad it’s gone tits up for him at stoke , I bought into his dream job local ex player ******** which in my view was a bit beyond the usual badge kissing that we see and ignore , if that is not classy then I will live with it as it’s only football ,,he’s not going to be rocking up at the social for an emergency loan and beyond how he does in the stoke job I will have next to no interest in how he does in future ,,, ditched his dream job,moved for more money and his perceived easy route to the prem , ducked up , sacked,,,,, job done ,move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything about Stoke is tin pot and its the biggest Shithole city ive ever been to , i hope they dont bullet him yet, let it get a bit worse for him first . This is all payback for forcing Hughsey out of Derby for which he will never be forgiven . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Apparently the stoke paper are saying he's definitely in charge vs Shrewsbury but probably not after (club lining up replacement) https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-rowett-moyes-allardyce-2384542 We just need a few public no thanks from the usual faces, big sam for example can stick his feet up and wait for a PL team to poop its pants, Moyes might feel his west ham work earned him PL offers, MON might just no be bothered, he's been not bothered about better jobs than Stoke. I think Chris Coleman would be a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I find this hilarious. Ha to Stoke Ha to Rowett Ha to every coach that followed him Ha to every player that joined them I initially thought he may take longer to get found out, hiding behind the excuse of rebuilding and inheriting a toxic squad, but his cards were marked from a couple of games in and fans actually wanted him out from August. Nice hefty pay off on his 3 year contract though Would love to see him rock up at Forest in the near future if Karanka is on his last chance and mess them up too. Matter of time Bolton and Wigan jobs are probably too small for him so he won't realitically return until at least summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
