The Argus, Stoke, Hughes & Gus

[Hugo Rune]

Stoke fans residing in Sussex must be thrilled with the amount of column inches they are now getting in our local rag. I'm not sure why there is not a regular Stoke section in the Argus but I'm confident there will be soon.

It appears that the Argus is none too happy with the Hughes to Stoke story:
"The Argus understands reports suggesting Stoke have already approached Mark Hughes – who would be an unpopular choice with many fans – for the job are premature". I wonder what Stoke fans they've been talking to?

The Argus' continued campaign to oust our second best manager of all time (and the man to led us to our best position in 30 years as well as signing glorious players such as Ulloa, Bridge and Bridcutt) is starting to grate. The Argus WANT Gus to take over at Stoke, it's so obvious. All Gus needs is a reality check that no Premier League teams want him this summer and a rocket up his ass from Tony; he'll then be able to lead us to success next season.

 

[Ulloa's Soul Patch]

technically he never signed Bridge, he was on loan

 

[Weststander]

Would Pulis be available, after he finishes his stint with the British Lions (specialist coach re throwing in at the line-outs, and kicking for territory)?

Maybe it's because the chief sports writer is a Stoke fan?

It's somewhat ironic that this is all happening while the chief sports writer is on holiday.

Years ago I asked him about this, he dismissed it as rubbish and said that his favourite player as a kid was Gordon Banks who happened to play for Stoke at the time and that he was not a Stoke fan. Does he actually come from that part of the world?

 

[Mr deez]

The club don't want Gus any longer either.

He'll have his cub reporters on the job though!

 

[Ali_rrr]

Well isn't Naylor a Stoke fan?

 

[beorhthelm]

dont see why Hughes would be unpopular. aside from calamity at QPR he's done OK. he does suffer from need-more-money-itis, but then half managers do.

I don't think it's a secret anymore... He tweeted when he met upson something along the lines of 'I bet upson wasn't expecting the first journo he met at the Albion to be a stoke fan'

It's not the Argus, more Andy Naylor

If Poyet doesn't secure a job elsewhere, there is as much chance of him leading out the team at the start of the next as there is of finding life on the sun!!!!

 

[Hugo Rune]

With Hughes about to take over at Stoke, Naylor will be gutted his Poyet to Stoke propaganda failed! Gus now has no Premier League team to manage. Off to Spain now or Wigan?

All the Arsegas cares about is new ... good or bad, but bad news sells more.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

A lot of the stuff going online will be relatively re-hashed news like the El Abd/Lopez story from the weekend or vaguely Brighton/Poyet related aimed at getting web hits until something important happens...
