Just a little dream I had. This could work out at end of the season. Graham potter with assistant of Steve bould who would probably be avaible then. Both ex stokies, with bould providing the prem knowledge that's if we are still here... i'd settle for o'neill as temporary then access in the summer for now.

I don't think bould has ever said a word in 20 years at arsenal ...if arsenal are on TV cameras on wenger talking bould just sits there with a blank impression on his face I imagine he's like a Phil Neal was to graham Taylor

Despite once playing for the club I don’t think either have a particular affinity with Stoke City. Although a local man, Bould in particular always looks pretty fed-up when he’s in town with the Arse and seems like he can’t wait to get back to his ‘under the radar’ lifestyle under Wenger.

Next. www.hitc.com/en-gb/2013/04/25/why-steve-bould-to-stoke-rumours-could-be-good-for-arsenal/ He was surprisingly linked with the job when TP was sacked, though I think he'd rather sit quiet at Arsenal and win a couple of cups and get paid a load of money.

He would. He's a very good mate of a number of people I know well and he's said exactly that in my company on more than one occasion, albeit a good few years ago.

Graham Potter would be a good choice. A successful young manager, who would love to come here, and having played for us he knows what the club is about.

Realistically though, Coatesy's going to go for a stodgy, experienced, been-there-and-done-it 50+-year-old, isn't he? We can debate the rights and wrongs - but that's what he'll do. It'll definitely be a O'Neill, Bruce, Pearson type. In fact, it's hard to see beyond those 3 There is nothing wrong with 50+ stodgy people Pep is 46 Jose is 54 Sam Allardycy is 63 would you refuse any of them?

I hope that the board do at least talk to Graham Potter. Maybe hes not right for a relegation battle when we have these overpaid mercenaries in the squad that need a rocket up their arse.
I cant help thinking we NEED Martin O'Niell initially to handle the big egos and get some defensive solidity.
BUT Graham Potter could be an interesting one to come in the summer after O'Niell has steadied the ship.

I think we need to go for Gary Rowett out of the choice out there. I wouldn't think for one moment that Gary Rowett would come to Stoke. He is currently at an arguably bigger club with a bigger fan base who are likely to change places with us next season. We need to look beyond the obvious but unattainable and the obvious but fucking awful. Why would Rowett not want to come to Stoke? Pay rise ,bigger spending power, a chairman renowned for his patience, ( unlike his current employer, who is notoriously trigger happy) and we are not exactly cast adrift. Not saying he will come , but I'm sure he would give it serious consideration.

Would probably do a better job than Hughes. Jesus said unto Peter Coates, But whom say ye that I am duck? And Peter answered and said, Thou art our next manager. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Sir Peter: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but the Oatcake message board John 16:17-18. Bit deep that mate. I think there's a message in there summat about john being "board" with all these manager messages and binge eating on oatcakes to cheer himself up.

Offer him whatever Hughes is on, take the hit on relegation and let a young forward looking coach rebuild us. The alternatives to Hughes mentioned on here like MON, McLaren, Pearson, Giggs and Neville are too awful to consider. Bring in a young progressive coach who has served an apprenticeship abroad with staggering success but has knowledge of the English game. He's a gamble but one worth taking when you look at the shit were in at the moment. Why do you think Potter would take us down? I'd be more for someone like Potter after a comfortable mid-table finish - look where Solskjaer has ended back at. How about Martin O'Neill on an 18-month contract, with Potter as number 2, with a view to Potter succeeding when O'Neill calls it a day? The Stoke link shouldn't mean much. I'm not sure I'd remember him if it wasn't for that miss against Leicester, and maybe his surname.

Graham Potter should be on the Stoke radar, at least as assistant to whoever gets the job or as Under23 manager to replace Hodges.

Not Graham Potter related but a similar sort of theme..... James O'Connor has won the USL league managing Louisville City last night. I've watched them quite a bit since their inception and he's done really well. Every season he seems to lose half his team and then rebuilds it and his sides have a good balance about them between attack and defence. I hope he can get a job in the MLS/Football League soon. Very interesting Bayern. Did he end up in the States as a player? Can't recall now. An interesting piece on him here which basically sums up the job he's done there. louisvillecoopers.com/appreciation-james-oconnor/

Very interesting Bayern. Did he end up in the States as a player? Can't recall now. He did. He was playing for Orlando and started coaching with them. He's done really well Louisville, they've been pretty consistent in his time there despite the player turnover. But the standard isn't the best tbh. I'm guessing League 2 at best. But it's a good start. Good enough to beat us right now then? 🙄

We've probably not contacted either of them as it involves dialling an international rate trunk number. Not sure Tony knows how to do that.

l Wasn't it Graham Potter who missed the sitter in the last few minutes of the play - off first - leg away at Leicester? I still feel the pain of being at Filbert Street, jumping up and shouting "Goooooaaaaa............ oh bollocks!" when the keeper saved it. Actually, maybe I'm being unkind, I seem to remember it was a decent save. Or is my memory playing tricks again? Bitter memories from both games. Away at Gilbert Street we should have been 2 up after about 10 min. Then the return leg it looked like we simply rolled over. Though even worse memories of the 2nd leg in a play off against Walsall... Kav's goal was summat else, but FFS...Gavin Ward.... I always hated playing against Don Goodman, he was summat of a bogey player thru the years. I was at Filbert Street that day... Wish I'd gone Gilbert street now!!!

I don't expect anything is going to happen on the managerial front here, but if there were to be I would hope the club would bring in a proven manager at a top level in Europe. No disrespect to GP who's doing a great job but the job would be too big for him at this stage of his career. Its great to read back posters statements lol. I do agree about Potter though, If his name had been Smith and not been a bit player for Stoke, his name would not be mentioned. Must be ok on fifa manager though lol.

Graham Potter would be a good choice. A successful young manager, who would love to come here, and having played for us he knows what the club is about. The Stoke Board seem to be in danger of missing out completely with a manager showing the potential of Graham Potter. if MON gets the job, I cannot see him lasting very long at his present age of 65, despite his years of experience. Graham Potter should be fitted in to the new Stoke setup so he is ready and prepared to take charge when called upon. Mark Hughes' deputy, Mark Bowen, left with him so did not serve as a stand-in, temporary or permanent. I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A STAND-IN WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY, as Liverpool used to do in their most successful period.
