Stoke City's miserable season continued this weekend as they lost out 3-2 at home to Nottingham Forest.

The Potters sit bottom of the table with only a single point to their name thus far, and despite some encouraging displays at times, things are looking bleak for the long-term former Premier League outfit.

Manager Nathan Jones is seemingly remaining defiant in his belief that things will come good for the Potters, but at the moment it seems he is under considerable pressure, with TeamTalk today reporting a host of names are being considered by the Stoke owners to replace Jones.

One of those names is former Man United and Everton manager David Moyes, who has been without a club since leaving West Ham in 2018.

However, we here at FLW aren't too sure if Moyes is what Stoke need right now, and we looked at THREE reasons why we feel the club should stay away from the Scot...

His record isn't great since Everton

Make no bones about it, Moyes has struggled since leaving Everton, with his spell at Man United being nothing short of a disaster.

In such a fast-moving football world at the moment, there have to be questions raised about Moyes' ability to move with the times and improve a team in Stoke's current predicament.

Keep the faith with Jones

While Jones hasn't exactly got results and is under no illusions he will be judged on that basis, is chopping and changing really the way forward for Stoke?

Jones worked wonders at Luton and is as honest as they come. Given time, and a bit of luck, there's every chance he will get it right and get the club back on the right track.

It won't exactly excite the fans

Often when picking a new manager, clubs will want someone who can come in and excite the fans. It's hard to argue Moyes is that guy.

His record in the last few years, his failure in big jobs, and what some will see as him being a relatively old school manager with few new ideas, all mount up to him being an unpopular appointment.

He might steady the ship somewhat, but there's little reason to see how he can take the club forward and back to the top.
