No doubt certain people will be on here saying what a good side Stoke are!

So will Irvine.

[Groovephil]

He won't survive now, the away fans took him to pieces over the subs.

Fully expect his dismissal this evening.

[PepeMel]

No doubt certain people will be on here saying what a good side Stoke are!

Yes the usual suspects

[Sessegod]

JP that he made the biggest total feck up imaginable by hiring irvine and not sacking kiely or downing. Burton needs to go because his suggestion of Irvine is a total disgrace. If the club hasnt planned for irvines departure and the selling of berahino, brunt, olsen and morrison and the funds being used to strengthen the first eleven (not the squad, first eleven) then they might as well give up and not bother playing any other games this season.

Its Peace and Burton that should be leaving.

[mulliganstired]

Close the door on the way out.  Nicely improved pension.  Go and coach somewhere.

Unless you want to cough up £100m then Peace is going no where.

Has anyone been listening to 5 Live this afternoon? The media are already sharpening their knives to give us a bashing when we inevitably sack this clown. Accusing the fans of having a sense of "entitlement" and implying we should be happy with a boss of Irvine's calibre.

Whatever, he has to go this evening.

[baggieboytom]

I didn't think in my lifetime it would ever come to this but I'm going to put it out there...

Jeremy go get TONY PULIS!!!

Get rid of the whole coaching staff and give tony whatever he wants to come and save my football club from this twit!

[BB74]

I don't think he will go until at least after West Ham game.

[overseas baggie]

Seeing Burnley level at City where they've given it a right go, compared to us just caving in at home to City, just shows our lack of fight.  Leicester leading at Hull. Clubs around us are showing fight and bottle - we are hurtling downwards without a whimper.

It hurts.

[WBASPE77]

I want Pulis been saying it for weeks.

Picking players like Baird, Wisdon, and Morrison over the likes of Gamboa Yacob, is just mind blowing. Irvine may be a good coach, but tactician he aint.

[BB74]

The appointment is still laughable when you think about it!

Those will be the same idiots who thought we were mad to sack Clarke. They know nothing about our club.

It took Clarke ages to get a gig at Reading. Hardly has clubs queuing up for him but the media won't mention that.

[Dan]

He will get the West Ham game. Given our caretakers will be Kiely and Downing and we wont get a manager til February, its not going to be enjoyable.

There will be riots if that's the case

It does.

[wbarenno]

It isnt just irvine that needs to go though. The problem isnt solved by sacking him. Theres 3 men there that have to go!!! Irvine,kiely and downing

[BaggieBirdRus]

I actually feel sorry for him. For a start he's a COACH. He should never be managing a team as he's not good enough, he showed that wity Preston and Sheffield Wednesday.

Also he's come into a team where he doesn't even know who our record signing is, never seen him play or nothing. How can any system that allows that work?!?

He's come into a place where people like Downing and Kiely are FAR TOO COMFORTABLE with their jobs and as the years have progressed ww have regressed wity their coaching. Just look at Foster for example.

There is also clicks in the team, people who can't be dropped. This is a lottle his fault as he should have the bottle to drop them but i don't think it's in his DNA.

Either way when he is sacked, my anger will be vented at JEREMY PEACE and TERRY BURTON for appointing him in the first place. Didn't JP say he was going to take more responsibility the start of the season and that last year was down to him. Well this year is also down to him. He has to go for me as well. Great businessman,terrible football man.

[Dan]

Its takenus > 4 weeks to appoint our last 3head coaches, i see no reason to think this will be different.

[Aztech]

Agreed!

[ex coseley kid]

A Liverpool supporter mentioned the Clarke thing to me only last night. Outsiders know nothing.

[koren]

You're getting sacked in the morning.

Bye bye Alan F****** Irvine.
