You'd have thought, knowing a defeat would get him the sack, that he'd have played his strongest side to ensure they got the win today and buy him a bit longer.

On the subject of managerial changes, who the hell is this guy Wednesday have plucked from obscurity?

He’s had good spells with clubs he’s been at.

Why is he abysmal.
Stoke have finished 13 or higher in his 4 seasons.
This season he lost some of his best players. Hence their struggle.

Where the heck do you think Stoke should finish?
