Well as a firm reinforcement of my managerial expertise Stoke sack their coach.
I had originally tipped Schumachers Stoke to be a dark horse team this season mainly because I thought Stoke outplayed us at home last Season in a very competent passing team.
He was promoted with Plymouth originally scoring goals for fun playing an exciting expansive style of football.
But he’s gone, Stoke have won twice in five and remain in the Carabo cup but he is an early casualty, after Saturdays 1-0 defeat away at Oxford United.
On the plus side, it maintains by prediction ratio at a firm 100%…. wrong again!
Seems a good coach, think he will come good in time but this (for me) Championship shows again why it’s the toughest league in the top five leagues anywhere in the world, not technically the best but certainly the toughest.

Yeah, I was a little surprised by that decision too! Can only guess there was something else bubbling under, and they were waiting for a suitable opportunity?

Think if it’s a very quick appointment Brighty says they already had someone lined up.
Can see David Moyes managing in the championship for someone this season.

I admire your honesty Class - if you can predict a few more for me I'll have a bet the other way:) )
You are quite right though, he's a decent coach who should have been given more time but as Brighty says, was there something else bubbling under?
Tough league whichever way you lay your bets!

Oh happy to post my lottery numbers Cleggy just stay well clear.
16 Sep 2024 13:20:03
Is he our next manager.
16 Sep 2024 15:52:10
Hope not but Moyes will never drop to the Championship in my opinion.

Moyes was coaching in Champo and L1 from memory with little ole
Preston OP
Bielsa and Wilko agreed to join Super Leeds in this league . why not Moyes?
16 Sep 2024 16:40:22
Oh wasn’t suggesting Moyes for us, just see him topping up his pension fund in the Championship this season, bearing in mind my predictions record.

Mate appreciate your honesty but you may not be wrong sometimes things just ain’t a good fit
Hecky is a great manager and done well at all his clubs but was awful fit at leeds you could also argue Howell at Burnley I think.

Does happen with certain managers at certain clubs, for Mourhinio all the time more recently.

Jose Mourinho new Leeds manager?
He's managed everywhere else at this point.
