Quite a few on here would have him taking over Mick.

Don't know why the Stoke gig isn't looked upon favorably, as Fergie always used to say, choose the owners not the club, and Stokes owners are viewed as one of the less volitile ownership.

Perhaps it is the deal that is on offer? From the outside a well established Premier League club would be an attractive option. More than meets the eye?

Yes, Stoke have never had any good players.

Well, I suppose that Stanley Matthews fellow wasn't too bad.

Which saves us from him...

He's really landed on his feet though - two jobs in the Championship, sacked in his last one - and then straight back up to the Prem.

One player doesn't make a team.

SM at Stoke was a bit more than a few seasons ago as was Gordon Banks one of the worlds great GK's.

EDIT: Just realised, Hudson was at Stoke before joining Arsenal. Never knew that. You learn something new every day...

Swapping Hughes for Lambert? Not sure about that.

I'd have kept Hughes if that was the level of candidate.

Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Disagree, Lambert is a good manager. Did an excellent job at Norwich where he was resourceful, imaginative and particularly good at reacting to scenarios during games. Has taken bad jobs since but in a stable environment I think he'll be fine.

Although probably the very best of Stanley Matthews was at Blackpool.

I saw him play at PR for Stoke in the F.A. Cup in 1964 when he was just short of his 49th birthday.

Thank you for explaining that one player doesn't make a team. As a result I've checked and found that you need another 10.

As an aside, my mate is a Birmingham fan and he's sure that they may fire Cotterill if they fail to beat Preston this weekend. If they do, I wouldn't be surprised if they moved for McCarthy.

He could easily do for them what he did for us. They're leaving it a little late in the window, but he'd be worth them considering, imho.

I would say it's already too late for Brum, probably Sunderland too.

They both probably need to win 9 or 10 games to get to the 50 point mark, that's just about a 50% win rate at this stage of the season.

Someone posted an article a few days ago about the state of Brums financial situation - not even sure they could afford to sack the current manager and appoint someone else.
