Eastie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Seems rowett has a clause he can go for £1.7m and I don’t see that bothering stoke - would be very good news f0r us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I hope MON gets the job for two reasons, 1. It will mean no longer having him as Ireland manager, 2. He'll fail and it might put an end to the myth that he's a good manager. Edited January 8, 2018 by villa89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, his ego is bigger than the whole of Stoke and they don't strike me as a club he would go for tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposedly having time out from the game for a prolonged period. Maybe another usual bookies money making tactic before it goes back to Evs money in the next few days..?

If I was Stoke I would have made a move. I think he would do well there. Rowetts better than Bilic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Why would Rowett swap teams though. At this rate they be swapping in 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2018 Billic is surely one of the most overrated managers of recent times. Seems to be linked to every job in Emgland for years. Finally gets one and he's quite shit. Would be an awful appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I can't see Stoke going down myself, but they are definitely in a rut. It must be horrible for teams like stoke and West Brom, who established themselves as premier league clubs, but don't have what it takes to progress from that.

Stoke got promoted in the 2007/08 season and this is the first year they have really struggled and fighting a relegation battle. Meanwhile at derby that same year and not been back since. Yeah i would disagree with you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course when was the last time one of those clubs was in the premier league. Having a big history is great but if you are playing second tier for such a significant amount of time how can you be deemed a bigger club?

Mark Albrighton Posted January 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 9, 2018 Much of a muchness for me. It really boils down to which Rowett thinks is more likely, getting Derby promoted or keeping Stoke up. If he thinks he can keep Stoke up, I could see him going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team is pretty good just under achieving. Rowett is notorious for making teams solid, can see him doing well there. Derby he might get up but i think will be harder keeping them up then stoke city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
