As Narcís Pèlach takes on his first full week of training at Stoke City you have been getting in touch with your views on the shake-up at the club.
The new Potters head coach is preparing for Saturday’s match at Middlesbrough looking to bounce back from his debut defeat at home to Hull City.
This is how some of you are feeling about being a Stoke City fan right now:
Andrew – Stoke have taken a backward step. It’s a man-manger that’s required. There are plenty of managers out there, but will Stoke pay the wage? There must be something the board can sort in wages for the right manager
Alan – City’s problem is they can’t attract top class proven managers. I go back to the days of Tony Waddington, it was a different game then. Apart from limited success under Tony Pullis, they have lurched from one managerial crisis to another. I can’t see anything changing.
Paul – Pretty soon the club’s hierarchy will run out of scapegoats and the real problem will become clear. Schumacher should have been given longer.
Steve – Very surprised to hear Schumacher was sacked, so early in the season. Thought he was doing okay. Now I am just hoping the new coach can sort this squad out, time will tell assuming he is given enough time.
Jeff – A house divided against itself will fall, this is true for any venture or club. A reality check is called for. Strength needs humility and willingness to stay the course. I’ve heard ‘Stoke belong in the Premier League,’ we’re no where near!
Mrs M – Lots of unanswered questions from Stoke regarding the sacking of Schumacher. Are there too many chiefs? You can’t manage a team if you’re getting interference from back room staff. This is not our Stoke anymore.
Are you feeling more confident after seeing how Narcís Pèlach wants his Stoke City team to play like? Let us know what you think here.
