Michael O’Neill’s job as Stoke City manager is under threat – and according to reports circulating int he last day or two in the mainstream media Daniel Farke could well be waiting in the wings to replace the Northern Irishman.

O’Neill saved the Potters from relegation when he arrived in 2019 to replace Nathan Jones, eventually guiding the Staffordshire side into mid-table in his first half-season in charge.

There’s been no progression in the two years since though, and after a run of eight games without a win in the Championship, time is believed to be ticking fast on his job at the Bet365 Stadium.
