Well mr Samuel 20:10 - Jan 9 with 1234 views | Ftnfwest | As Stoke fans ‘hounded out’ Rowett because of his ‘boring’ football, I look forward to your article tomorrow telling them to be careful what they wish for | | | | |
Well mr Samuel on 20:38 - Jan 9 with 1126 views | pointofblue | Be fair, it’s very different to here - Rowett was widely viewed as being an under-achiever at Stoke; Mick was seen as an over-achiever here. | |

I’m really no fan of rowett don’t get me wrong but 8 months (rather than 6 years) is a bit unfair to make that comparison. Wasn’t exactly hurst like in his ‘failure’. Was a bit of an odd appointment for them though. | | | |
Well mr Samuel on 20:59 - Jan 9 with 1052 views | C_HealyIsAPleasure | We’re bottom of the league, 10 points from safety. Telling us to be careful what we wish for has been emphatically proved right, unfortunately | |

Well Stokes expectation was probably automatic promotion. Ours was probably to avoid relegation relatively comfortably. Looking at it that way, they are about as far off their objective as we currently are off ours so his ‘failure’ wasn’t all that dissimilar | |

Yes indeed but the OP is about stoke. Our failure is thanks to the owner and not wholly because of the financial position but just as much, if not more, his failure to insert people at the top of the club who actually know the game rather than get some pointers from the outgoing manager as he’s done on a few occasions now....oh and Harry of course | | | |

No doubt, certainly a strange appointment in hindsight | | | |
