Jon Walters has sacked Schumacher on 10:06 - Sep 16 with 5645 views | Swansea_Blue | Looking from the outside, that seems a bit hasty. A win percentage of 40% at a team that's been struggling to make mid-table for years. By way of comparison, that puts him above Mick and Jim and just below Joe Royle. They spent a bit last year though,, so obviously the pressure was on. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up back at Plymouth after they realise they've cocked up with Rooney. |  |

I think Rooney will be relived that Plymouth won at the weekend. I would imagine they would take Schumacher back in a heartbeat. That's Schumacher and Ryan Lowe, who both did excellent jobs with Plymouth, out of work now. |  |

Jon Walters has sacked Schumacher on 10:09 - Sep 16 with 5582 views | Europablue | It's difficult to see the sense in this sacking. Why bring in the manager and let him bring in his own players over the summer only to sack him after a few matches. The new manager has to scramble to get things on track. Stoke seem to have an odd sense of having an inflated view of their worth. Whatever they have been doing for the last few years has not been working. You really have to pick the right man for the job and back him, not just in the transfer window, but also by giving him time to implement his ideas. |  | |  |
Jon Walters has sacked Schumacher on 10:29 - Sep 16 with 5421 views | CopfordBlue | Another example of how sometimes a club and a manager are the right fit for each other. A move to a supposedly bigger or better club frequently doesn’t work out. KM made a very wise choice in the summer. He’s a young manager with a long career ahead of him. His time for a move will come but right now he’s in the right place. |  |

Reading PASOTI, neither Lowe or Schumacher would be welcome back at Home Park any time soon. Burnt their bridges there. I actually think Rooney might do OK there for them before he gets the Everton job. |  |

Surely he stays at Blackburn? Got a good side there even with the loss of Szomdics. |  |

Basket case of a club off the pitch though and financial situation believed to be precarious. Feels to me like JE is doing a decent job of papering over a number of cracks at the moment but if Stoke came sniffing I would be all over it. |  | |  |

I wouldn't touch Stoke with a bargepole. Inflated sense of where they should be, especially with the sacking of Schumacher. Eustace should/will be given a lot of time at Blackburn in comparison. |  |

I think Stoke is quite attractive. Good squad, decent base to start from, got a few quid behind them too, good stadium. Not achieved anything notable for years too so while they might fancy themselves a bit too much I think it would be a good opportunity to take them forward without too much fan expectation. Nice job IMO, other than the fact its in Stoke. Eustace obviously spent a while there as a player too. [Post edited 16 Sep 2024 10:55]

Yeah, Everton would be a good fit for him. Championship is his ceiling. |  | |  |

"I think Stoke is quite attractive." That's not something you see written by anyone in normal circumstances - are you under duress? |  |

So they are after a bottom half Championship manager after sacking their manager for being in the bottom half of the Championship. That makes sense. |  |
