First Managerial job for him since 2018, when he left Notts County - Although looks like Northampton had a tough weekend, as they also lost 5-0 against Rotherham

Felt like Schumacher was a harsh sacking and to go and get a relative Rookie as a replacement was always going to be a gamble, this has again backfired. Do wonder what direction they'll go for as they've tried everything in recent years.
Complete mid-table mediocrity with a steady decline recently. I think they'll only keep doing it for so long, especially with how often they chop and change.

If they had gone down last season, I wonder if they would have done a Birmingham and splashed the cash in L1? They could have spent a lot more in L1 this season than the Championship.

Mid table is generous, that’s lower mid table! Agreed, league 1 isn’t far away
Never understand why managers get sacked after games they shouldn’t win. I don’t get why sack their manager after losing to Leeds but not after drawing at home to Cardiff and then losing to 10 men.
Their issue is that John Walters came in as a football director, sacked a manager who was doing okay in a short time and then changed it up as he thought an inexperienced manager was a good idea. I’m surprised he’s not been sacked but he is a legend in that part of the world.
Also Holden was on their local radio saying he’d manage them for free to keep them up hahah big pay off from Saudi for being a poor assistant manager. Seen both Appleton and Jones at 16/1. Would be hilarious if Appleton got the job but I think they’ll get robins.

Usually i feel like it's because they don't want the new manager to come in and then face a really tough opponent in his first game and get off to a losing start. But in Stoke's case their next 2 games are Sunderland and Burnley which are also tough so it wouldn't surprise me if they go with a caretaker for those games and the new manager is in charge for the game after that (Plymouth at home).

Seen a lot of Stoke fans online lay the blame firmly at Walters door despite being a club legend it sounds like he's made a lot of mistakes as Sporting Director including the Pelach appointment.
