Hi, im a Stoke City supporter and im going to give you my honest oppinions of Quitterill.
When he was appointed manager of Stoke we were very excited because of his record at Cheltenham. He only signed one player, Chris Greenacre from Mansfield.
During the pre-season he immediatly ignored two of our best players (Petur Martiensson and Bjarni Gudjonsson).
The season started with a 0-0 draw at Sheffield Wednesday, we were playing OK, not spectacular, the players looked as though they wernt enjoying themselfs as a couple were kept on being played out of position.
When he left there was an uproar! quitting to become assistant manager of a Premeirship club thats going to be relegated, he came saying he wants his players to show comitment and loyalty to the club and then he buggers off at the first oppertunity.
Just after he left he said he had done a good job and left us in a good position, we were 15th and 3 points above the relegation zone having only won 2 of about 9 games!
Overall i felt he is a good coach but a poor manager.
He is excellent at motivating but has the tactical knowlege of a brick wall!
His playing style is long ball, very boring and direct. That was no good for us because we were playing 5ft6 Marc Goodfellow up front.
I believe that if he had stayed we would have been relegated last season. Tony Pulis came in and organised us very well and is an excellent tactitian.
Dont be fooled because he did a good job at Cheltenham, managing at a higher level is totally different.
a UEFA coaching badge means nothing! I lost count of the amount of times he mentioned it in interviews, its results on the pitch that count, not whats written on a peice of paper.
If you want a manager with a good record in Division 2/1, a manager thats an excelent motivator and PLAYS FOOTBALL, look no further than Lou Macari!
