He will be probably sacked today if they lose to Leeds. The Stoke chairman will be looking for a reaction from the players after the awful midweek defeat.
He should have stayed at Luton. The grass is not always greener.

Rock bottom, no wins in seven.
How much longer will be stay in the job?

This. He would have been better off building on what he had started. Rather than resurrect the fortunes of another basket case club!

When lucks down it’s down and stoke played 80mins with ten men yday. Be good to see them relegated and Nathan getting another opportunity elsewhere but soon as I saw result I thought he’s gone. Surprised not announced immediately after their game, he’ll go today I’m sure.

When he gets the sack, which seems inevitable, where does he go is it back to Div 2 or possibly Div 1.
Unlucky apparently:
"And good performances are what Stoke City have offered plenty this season, or at least that’s what the underlying numbers suggest. Wyscout’s expected points model has Stoke as the 5th best side in the league, whilst Infogol’s model has Stoke in an expected 3rd place. Even the less advanced metrics show just how well Stoke are doing. 1st for crosses completed, 3rd for touches in the box, 2nd for shots in the penalty area, and 1st for least shots conceded."

Lose to Crawley on pens.

I wonder if he's going back on the team bus or staying with friends locally?

He said his ten changes had backfired and that the players who played had been nowhere good enough but that the full side had been brilliant in the 0-0 draw against Brentford. Doesn't feel any more under pressure after tonight than he already did.

Another distraction out the way, hope they stick with him as I think it will come good.

Peter Coates the Stoke chairman has a history of sticking by his managers, but this must be getting close to the wire now l would think.

I went along to Crawley last night and Stoke were awful, even prior to the sending off

Probably needs putting out of his misery with this one. He'll get a huge pay-off and no doubt after a short break he'll be back at a respectable club somewhere. Maybe in Spain. He's clearly got talent.
Stoke have been a basket case of a club for a while now. Nathan on a hiding to nothing. In hindsight he probably should have waited until the end of last season before leaving Luton.

Silly old bat
He still owns his flat in Withdean,
Where is this talent? Word from inside Luton is that Mick Harford's recruitment was underestimated, as were all the back room staff. Luton went on to get promoted with ease without him after all.
Apart from that, he managed Albion for two games and now Stoke where he has 3 wins in 28 games and looks absolutely clueless.
He needs to rebuild his reputation at a club of the stature of somewhere like Oxford or Bristol Rovers I think before I'd say he clearly has talent
