Stoke City Struggling / Staggering Toward The Future

Long time no write...guess its been something to do with apathy or disappointment.Had misgivings at the start of last season but crossed my fingers and hoped.

Since then we've seen Gary Rowett burdened with excessive expectation ( and inherited difficulties behind the scenes) anchor us in mid table,but within reach of the top six, before being shown the door, unfairly in my opinion.

He was replaced in the managerial hotseat by a very earnest well meaning fellow, Nathan Jones, seriously successful at Luton Town.Good fortune has not followed him to Stoke. Few wins have been recorded in his nine months at Stoke.There are Stokies who would dub him the world's unluckiest football manager. Much has already been spoken and written as to why that might be, I have no new insights to offer.

Suffice it to say, he leaves us currently hopelessly anchored at the bottom of the Championship table.

Our new manager has a difficult job ahead.Who will it be after the Alex Neil fiasco this weekend?

Here's wishing Rory Delap and the team success against WBA  tomorrow night.
