Sparky Hughes confirmed as Stoke Manager

Wholesale clear-out announced by the board is his first job, 3 on free transfers to reduce wage bill and then he can buy! Be interesting to follow who he may go for as that will give a clue to their ambitions.

He's been chosen due to being able to manage on a tight budget before, certainly not his results!

I bet they wish they had Pulis back now....
 
Oh Dear, Oh Dear Oh Dear, Oh Dear

Stoke will be in the relegation dogfight next year then

My thoughts exactly on hearing the news this morning. They are gonna regret getting rid of TP, who IMO should be treated as a god in getting Stoke to the Premiership after so long in the 2nd tier and actually managing to keep them there.

Yes be careful what you wish for! Mark Hughes complete clown. 3 year contract bet he doesn't last the season.
 
I really do worry for my local team.

Best quote I've heard yet is:

Lets change things, lets improve things. Lets get some one younger. Lets go to the next level. Lets get Mark Hughes........ Jesus Christ

When he emerged as the leading contender for the job, the local paper ran a poll.

90% of people who responded didn't want Mark Hughes as manager. Most votes went to Di Matteo or Martinez.

Kind of says something of the general mood around the club at the minute.

What i thought was something close to this alright , ok il admit he was treated verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry bad by City but golly gosh , when DM went to UTD & i heard his name mentioned i thought oh please God noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

In saying that, Martinez ??? i dunno time will tell ....
 
Yer doomed a tell yea, doomed.

Crazy decision, serves the Stokes fans right for getting rid of Pullis.
A mid championship side in the premier for what.....7 years and he gets the bullet.
Decent guy, badly treated.
 
Saw his name mentioned and thought poor Stoke. In fairness he did ok with us at Blackburn but just that ok! He had a decent budget to work with as but didn't really do a lot with it and never really endured himself to us fans. We were happy when he went and when big Sam came who did much more on a lesser budget then came Venkys and it went wrong.

Good luck fighting relegation now he's there no doubt buy some over the hill striker & poor midfielder I hear QPR will be having a clear out of his crap signings so may have some winging your way.
 
Stoke have probably achieved all they will ever do in the PL, ie survival/ mid table at best, how is Hughes going to improve on that record?
 
He didn't do a bad job at Fulham but I had to laugh when he jumped ship saying he should be in charge of a big club. QPR and now Stoke. That's showing them Sparky! Think Stoke will have a long season next year and will struggle although I think there are enough weak sides that they may be just good enough to survive.
