He’s not a bad player, but this is his level. That was the problem - 1 decent season in the PL when everything clicked and we chucked money at him. Gower has one decent season in the PL when everything clicked around him, but I wouldn’t have spent £26m on him either.

Stupid signing for the money given Huw’s normal tight-fistedness. Maybe having someone else make the decision on money (or thinking the Yanks has more than they did) threw him? Who knows. But he went nuts that season and wasted it all.


Clucas probably could have done a decent job playing in his natural position in a team that wasn't circling the drain. Ultimately we paid far too much for a player we didn't know what to do with. Symptomatic of the kind of malaise and lack of direction that surrounded the place from late 2014 onwards.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Well done, in just two short paragraphs, you've summed things up perfectly.


But he will still go down as the most successful chairman in
The club's history.
And we are still reaping the rewards from the £10 mill he invested in fairwood.

You make it sound like he invested his own cash.

Would have struggled to raise that on his paltry£500,000 plus a year salary.
Sooner him and his fukwit mates end up raising nigh on £22 million plus costs and compo for fuking the Trust over the better.
See how much bullsh1t we hear then when the fukker owns shares worth(in comparison) close to nothing.

If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

He didn't invest a penny in fairwood! It was the clubs money which was a gravy train for certain individuals to make a small fortune out of. And the same fairwood that will be shut down within the next year as we cannot afford the running costs!

Yes certainly successful for a period. And then a failure who became devious and selfish with a vastly over inflated opinion of his worth and questionable ability.

And you repeating the same old crap doesn’t change that.

As I said successful for a period. Until other things became more important to him. By the way, others were involved with the successful period. It wasn’t all attributable to Jenkins was it. Its sad the way things ended. Greed tends to have that affect (on otherwise good) people.

Would that be the Sam Clucas who Stoke fans think is their player of the season, and who scored 2 goals away at Barnsley last Saturday?

That Sam Clucas? Miles better than Joe Allen apparently.

http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/291931/sam-clucas-appreciation-thread



You'll be telling us he's worth the £16M an idiot paid for him next.

I wouldn't trust Stoke fans to recognise a decent footballer if one bit them on the backside.

You clearly didn't see him "play" for us then?

Clucas was in my opinion weighed down to some degree by the ridiculous fee but having said that, he was absolute garbage for us.

Jenkins did very well by us early, slowly became greedy, screwed up big time towards the end, but then as a last act, saved us and also stopped Leeds getting promoted.

Overall he did some good and some bad. His comments in the present day mean nothing. But in the present, we have to be grateful that he kept James so that we got 15M from him rather than 8.5M over 3 years. Had we not got that extra money, I'm sure either Borja & Ayew would be back out on loan, or Mike would have been sold.

It’s a bit like saying well done to the captain of the titanic for getting the ship three quarters of the way across the Atlantic before crashing it.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

All this about how Beaky did us all a favour and did so many wonderful things etc like investing in Fairwood and the youth policy whilst doing loan deals or turning his phone off.

THAT WAS HIS JOB! He was paid ALOT of money and far higher than most clubs of our size. He was remunerated at PL levels after we had been relegated to the Championship.

He failed. We were relegated and his contract was not renewed. Not difficult. Lets not defend the bloke.If he was the CEO of a bank everyone would be screaming the place down. Take the money when times are good. Just pls fk off and keep your mouth shut when its all gone t1ts up

Yes, Huw did get us relegated into the championship. But he has nothing to do with us being 4th currently. Bizarre.

If you'd been around this forum in past incarnations, you'd have seen me praising Jenkins to the hilt as we rose up through the leagues. Usually arguing against T2C who only decided Jenkins was doing a good job once the club was sold! The good he did doesn't excuse his desperation to sell to anyone and cash out, no matter how unsuitable the buyers may be.

I hope you and Badlands are getting paid to be apologists on here. It'd be a shame to look so stupid so often without some reward.

If it wasn't for Brian Katzen and Jeffrey Crevoiserat, who together held 21% of the shares. I'm 100% convinced that we would have been nothing more than 'local owners saves club from oblivion'. Please, don't anyone tell me that Huw Jenkins and Martin fvckin Morgan had some sort of vision to create a successful football club from the utter dreadful state we were in.

He wasn’t watching Swansea City at the time of Tony Petty either because he was chairman of another football club.
