Stoke City Bottlers

So, Schuey and his posse have been fecked off!

Monday mornings aren't all bad then

Did the helicopter take him back to Liverpool?

Suppose they,re coming for Rooney now lol

Even though there is a bit of schadenfreude felt, you have to say that from a football point of view tis a lunatic decision. Stoke seem to get through managers like water and a fat lot of good it's done them. Wonder where to for Schuey now? Struggling championship club like Cardiff,Bristol City maybe or someone in league 1-Bolton have underachieved this season, Bristol Rovers not very good. His bank balance has been swelled no doubt about that but from a football point of view then the grass ain't always greener.

Bet the poor sod is at home now with his Missus going on at him "I liked Plymouth, the kids loved their school, Mr Hallett thought the World of you, the fans used to love you. I told you not to leave, but oh no. a ride in a helicopter and that was it you idiot!"


Torquay lost 0-3 on Saturday, perhaps they will offer him a job.

Stoke city have now sacked three Managers since 2022.

I wonder how many they are still paying/how much severance pay they have forked out?

They could probably bought a Jay Stansfield or two for the same amount.

Such a lovely place to live and work too.

Tough shit on him!
He will get compo and he can use it to feck off back to Liverpool.

If it was any other club apart from Stoke, this would be a shock sacking. As it is, it's just a very funny sacking.

Schumacher wrote: “It came as a huge shock to me and my family to be told I had lost my job at Stoke City FC. The coaching staff and I have worked tirelessly over the last nine months, and for our journey at the club to be cut short is hugely disappointing.

“Our objective last season was to keep the club in the EFL Championship. We achieved what we set out to do, and the way that we ended the season gave me great confidence that we could achieve this season’s objectives.

“We tried to create an atmosphere where everyone enjoyed coming to work and was committed to giving 100% every day. We won seven of our last ten competitive games, and started this season by winning four of the opening seven fixtures. In my opinion, after an encouraging start, we were only going to get better and I believe the squad assembled for this season will go on to do really well. I would like to thank the players for their efforts and wish them all the very best for the future.

“It was clear that my vision of selecting young, hungry and energetic players to represent this great club was beginning to come to fruition. In playing the youngest ever Stoke City team in the Carabao Cup, we won the game by the highest margin away from home in 70 years. Following that feat I picked the youngest ever starting league team away at Plymouth Argyle. Unfortunately, the club have chosen to go in a different direction. However, I thank the Coates family for giving me the opportunity to work at Stoke City FC.

“Finally to the Stoke City FC fans. Thank you for the support you have shown my family and I over the last nine months. I do feel that we were starting to build a real connection between the supporters and the team, and I hope you were aware of how much it meant to me to be able to represent you on the touchline.

“I feel that I have learned a lot about myself, both as a person and as a manager over the last nine months. I will use this experience and take some time to reflect, recharge and be ready for the next challenge.”

First game with new coach

Stoke 1 Hull 3

Oh dear. No experience and only been a first team coach. He's their Ian Foster. He'll be sacked in a couple of weeks.

They can crash and burn for all I care!
