Before anyone says it, "I know it's the Daily Star" but who knows, could some truth in it.

To be fair to TP he has more than earned his stripes to have most of his recommendations taken on board and approved ! He has come from a club that has seen it and done it in terms of premier league stability over the years so over to you Sir Tony !

i can still see there being clashes when it comes to signings...TP likes ready made late 20's signings and 2010 like the opposite.

still he had earnt the trust of the board and the fans with what he has placheived.

His record at Stoke speaks for itself and if we can get established in the Prem it would be fantastic.

Give the man what he needs but first get under a LONG contract!

And I see signs of half remembered days, I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

Exactly right. This is a non story. Just a space filler from a lazy editor.

If you listen to the pre-match conference it is very clear that these things have not yet even been discussed. TP was stating that he believes that we need to establish ourselves in the PM over the next 4 years BEFORE we spend too much on other things. His reasoning, which he regards as simple common sense, is that it is little use having PM facilities if you play in the Championship.

However this is his opinion and it hasn't yet been discussed with the board. His focus is on his job and the next 3 games.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.
