Managerial sack race is won by O'Neill

The most frustrating thing about Blackpool’s defeat at the bet365 was how they managed to make Stoke look good, when they clearly aren’t. Don’t think O’Neill can have any complaints personally. Stoke need a progressive manager.

Agree @Yarmouth Seasider - defeat there really sticks in the craw and in a way I think contributed to the negativity around the ground for the Swansea defeat.

Appleton to Stoke?

That was a really poor performance that day and a hard one to take!

 

[NewburyOne]

What are the odds on Stoke sounding out Critchley? What with Gerrard on the ropes and him coming from that area, it might be a goer?

 

[JJpool]

These performances happen, teams don't turn up or turn up on the day. We were very poor that day and still learning how to play, we still are.

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

We have a new manager playing a new style and a load of injuries so a few defeats early on were likely.

We've had some decent results though - if we hadn't beat Reading they would be top of the league now!

Dyche 2/1 fav.

 

[hampshire_exile]

I would nearly feel sorry for Stoke fans having Dyche ball after Pulis and O’Neill..but I don’t because their fans deserve everything they get.

 

[Pool CW]

Pulis back again ?

 

[King Billy]

Will be Dyche. They are one of the few clubs in this league who can afford him.

Rooney?

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

I read a few comments on there that 'we lost to a good Stoke side'

What a load of crap. They're poor

He'd never do that, surely, far too much integrity.

 

[Macseasider]

Rooney?

He's just become DC United manager in the States,

Clarke was decent

I think Dyche will be like many managers who have great success at one club but fail to repeat it elsewhere tbh.

 

[April13th1970]

Surely Robbie Stockdale won the race?

But we made them look good that day.

Strange decision to jump ship from Sunderland

 

[Love BFC🍊]

I think Alex Neil has been backed by the owners and fetched quite a few players in. Must be more money and closer to home and a longer contract than a one year rolling contract
