You'd assume that the only goal for this year was to stay up. He'll get the summer and the opportunity to shape the squad as he wishes. Next season will be interesting

Maybe, it was not that difficult Schumacher
- Thread starter Phil Adams
- Start date
He was always going to leave based on insider knowledge from those in the know on Pasoti that he had applied for two jobs prior to Stoke. I think it's all understandable to me that a tidy contract, and the idea of seeing a player you want, and buying them without a thought would have been very appealing. He was clearly very confident with his own ability, and with the latter it was a slam dunk move for him.
Post that move to Stoke, the club continued in a similar pattern. Whittaker won player of the Month in January despite Azaz leaving. The goals were still flying in either end. Something happened in Jan to change all that, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I don't think him leaving was always going to place us where we are. A bad appointment? A rogue 'head-coach'?
Even then it when he left he showed he didn't have the chops. With that squad as his disposal he should have been comfortably mid-table, but he still was only a result away from being in our position, and us being in his.
No please don't insult me (Ha Ha) I hated every minute of our cup final. Argyle is my team and has been for approx. 56 years and it still makes me grumpy when we even draw. I look at 5-0 every match. Maybe that's why I am so miserable most of the time. Did enjoy the 7-3 against Bournemouth standing amongst my Bournemouth supporting friends that day.
Sorry Mr Adams I feel your pain and I've been supporting them 51 years 😂
Snake will be back for Hardie I reckon Whitts maybe out of his price range but he may also fancy Gibbo
Yep, I reckon Gibbo or Galloway are lined up already and Hardie wouldn't come as a surprise either. He will definitely be given more time with Stoke, he has achieved Championship safety which was the immediate goal.
Forget Schumacher forget Azaz the’re gone.In my humble opinion our demise is solely down to Ian Foster with his negative and boring tactics.Full stop.
I can see Hardie going there as well. Stoke's big problem this season has been scoring goals.

Two main themes here, Schumacher and Azaz.
Schumacher left us for more money, at a bigger club with more upward potential. Career and financial ambition. If Stoke had not been "battling relegation" the opening would not have arisen. It was a calculated risk. Stoke won't finish as low next season.
On the OP, if SS had carried on in the same vein we might have finished on 53 points. Unlikely, as our harder games were yet to come. Safe yes, but not exactly sound.
Azaz was good, at times very good, but he wasn't consistently good. He was well off the boil after last Christmas, in League One. I'd love to get him back but he is a bit of an obsession on these boards. Nobody knew him before he came; there will be others like him out there.
