Well, someone had to start it...
I think that's exactly the sort of job that would tempt him.
Money to spend, more chance of promotion, stability etc.If he wasn’t tempted by Sunderland when we were both in League 1 and when we were playing at St Andrew’s, why the hell would he be tempted by Stoke City

And arguably our momentum slows down. Promotion with us increases his reputation, as do the past couple of seasons. If we tread water at best this season then his profile arguably diminishes, whether that's fair or not.Money to spend, more chance of promotion, stability etc.
They’re an established Championship team with more chance of promotion to the PL sooner than us - they also finished 2 points behind us last season.More chance of promotion? They are crap
Dyche is a good call, tbf. He might want to wait for an Everton or similar, though?I'd have thought Dyche is likely to be the candidate of choice for them. If they were to plump for Robins I think we'd struggle to keep hold of him but i think he'll be a little way down the list (hopefully).

It would be a challenge but he’d have more chance of getting than you than us, especially while we’re still ran like a lower league club.
Is the Bet365 owner not putting money into them? Wouldn't have expected them to be that hard up.General consensus amongst Stoke fans seems to be that they don’t think they could either afford or would fork out compensation to take another clubs manager
The obvious difference between now and then is that we were on an upward trajectory and most likely on the cusp of a promotion which we achieved.If he wasn’t tempted by Sunderland when we were both in League 1 and when we were playing at St Andrew’s, why the hell would he be tempted by Stoke City

(I also forgot Gary Rowett in the list of worthy British managers Stoke had hired!)
The other way of looking at it is O'Neill has done the hard job of getting rid of the ageing deadwood they had littering the place, so the new manager gets a relatively fresh canvas to work with.I don't think Dyche would be considered for Everton unless they managed to get themselves relegated but i think you may be right in general and he'd have sights set higher than Stoke. To be honest i've probably got an inflated view of Stoke and their attractiveness as a club; i just checked their transfer activity this season and it's all freebies and loans following a period (under O'Neill) of halving their wage bill. They look like they might be in the midst of a bit of a decline if the owners are pulling back a bit.

He could realistically say that he's taken us as far as he can now and look to take on a job that will pay him more and give him more of an opportunity to manage in the Premier League.
If the rumours around us having to sell this month to keep the bills paid are true too then why not jump ship before losing Vik/Cal/Hamer and having a worse season than last time around and letting your reputation slump.
I'm not saying he'd take it but I can see exactly why now would be a good time for him to jump ship and why Stoke would be a great option.
Have absolutely 0 memory of Michael O'Neill's 5 games for us!

Let’s hope Stoke have already have a short list without MR on itThe obvious difference between now and then is that we were on an upward trajectory and most likely on the cusp of a promotion which we achieved.

Perhaps NW means that MR would get more out of those players, or would have spent the money better?They’re an established Championship team with more chance of promotion to the PL sooner than us - they also finished 2 points behind us last season.
