Sunderland have thrown a lot of money at things too but changed managers too often. bolton achieved better when with a fixed manager, like stoke have now. newcastle? well, they're just a joke, we all know that. Stoke? A healthy amount of cash, stable crowds and the same manager. No excuse for the same old shit.

No one is expecting them to have achieved it by now but to be making steps towards that. and they're not. which is why even stoke fans are getting tired of it.

anyway, this isn't wearestoke****s.com so that's enough of that on this.

they are also orcish ****s, so that is enough to prove my point.
They’re still pretty new to the Prem in comparison to other teams. Fulham have been around in the league a lot longer, since 2001, over 10 years. They were outside of the top 10 for years before having that good run with Roy in the Europa League. The Stoke fans maybe pissed and Pulis doesn’t play pretty football but when you look around the league, some big clubs have gone down and struggled to make it back. In the 5/6 years Stoke have been in the league, I wouldn’t expect them to make swooping changes over night. There are many teams that come up and go back down quickly.
