It's good to be bullish but is he over-egging the pudding too much there? If he does a Rowett and is out of a job in 3 months those quotes are going to come back to bite him on the ass massively. The way to show his work is comparable with Guardiola's is to shut up and get Stoke promoted. Aye but he definitely won't have success with any other attitude, all the best to him! Fair point, I fully admit wouldn't mind a man with that sort of talk in charge of Wales. Thst sort of attitude from someone like him who at least comes across as quite competent inspires confidence much more so than Gigg's rather understated and quiet personality. |

I'm looking forward to see how he does at Stoke, they should be one of the top championship teams when looking at them on paper! |

Lost again tonight to Forest (3-2). Watched the match, they were a bit unlucky. Very fair interview from him after the match but fear his days are numbered.

He had Steve Cooper's number to be fair. Jones' diamond shut us down completely and we made no attempt to change things. Joe Allen had the freedom of the park, as did Clucas. Always at least one of them spare in dangerous forward areas, matched 4 against 2 as they were.
Really should have won by 2 or 3, they hit the bar and had Woodman making more saves than I've seen before this season.

I agree with much of that, but Swansea were dominant late on, reflected in the corner stats. The goal when it came was a sucker punch. Rodon and Roberts had okayish games, Roberts more defensively than offensively. A weak tackle by Rodon on Allen contributed to the opening goal, but other than that he was one of Swansea's better players on the day. |

Stoke is toxic to the core. I bet the hire Pulis again. He's a good manager who'll easily get a job elsewhere. Joe needs to see sense and jump ship. |

He wouldn't have been used to working with some of the big egos Stoke City have, I think that would've been one aspect he struggled with. |

Really weird that.
We got rid of most of the coaching staff for financial reasons at the start of the pandemic. I think our board expected all football to go the way of the lower leagues. However, now it looks like the Championship will be going the way of the PL, we had to appoint someone and I think Stoke are basically still paying him so therefore we are basically getting a manager for near free. He's not been allowed to bring any coaches in at this time either so it's basically just him and our head of recruitment acting as his assistant.
Given the amount of anger there was about the way he left and the lies he told in that process, this is the only way a return can work, given that he won't have the anger of the fans inside the ground, certainly for the rest of this season. Then of course, if he managed to keep us up, I'm sure everything will be forgiven.
My big issue is that his transfer policy at Stoke suggested he didn't actually understand the attributes needed in various positions (mainly full-back) for his system to work. (When your system requires them to almost work like both full-backs and wingers, why sign an ageing Stephen Ward & Tommy Smith?) As a result, I worry about how good a football manager he actually is.

Big result for Jones back at Luton. Early days but could he turn it round?

Would be good if he can keep them up. Imagine a League One with Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Stoke in it.

I quite like radical changes in the leagues though. Fleetwood Town and Luton Town in the Championship, Stoke and Middlesbrough in League One. Who’d have seen that 10 years ago. |

Still a long way to go. Even from last week against Preston there was a world of difference.
Can't see us getting anything from tomorrow (at Leeds~) but after that our next 5 games are massive:
Reading (H)
Barnsley (H)
Huddersfield (A)
QPR (H)
Hull (A)
3 relegation rivals and 2 games against mid-table sides. I reckon we need to be out of it by the end of that stretch though as I don't fancy us getting anything on the final day at home against Blackburn, especially if they need something to make the play-offs.

Fair play, him and Cooper have done wonders. The disrespect that Cooper’s had on social media this season is utterly mind-boggling. Man working on a shoe-string reliant on loans.
Exciting signs for possible future Cymru managers, not that Giggsy deserves the boot any time soon.

He has basically looked at what Val Ismael did at Barnsley last year, ripped up his entire philosophy, and tried to maybe not replicate it, but certainly repurpose a lot of it. It's had some ups and downs but we can produce 10-25 minute bursts (or in last night's case, 5 minutes) and if we score two or three in that period, we can basically win the game in that period.
