I think that if you have the wrong type of players, they are quite happy in their own minds when the manager is under pressure as it takes the blame away from them. That is what Stoke really need to do, get rid of them.

but he signed most of them during the summer .. seems to indicate that not only can't he coach and plan tactics, he is also useless at assessing players .. Though I noticed at the time they played at the Valley that he'd signed a few aging Prem players who were surplus to requirements at their previous clubs .. goes right against the 'Robinson maxim', 'it's better to sign lower league players who are on the way up rather than higher league players who are on the way down'
