Whilst considering our former players, I haven’t seen TC at Stoke for a few weeks. Hope he isn’t ill. He isn't ill, he's in good health and good spirit's all things considered. TC was relieved of his previous match day duties at the beginning of the season, the day before Millwall away to be precise. He believed he would be continuing his usual role but that wasn't the case so he's stepped away for the moment. He loves Stoke City and always will. He like Banksy and others made S-O-T his home. Thank you for the update. Delighted to hear he is in good health. TC has always been a wonderful supporter and ambassador for SCFC and I hope to see him again soon at a game.

Absolute pleasure March...You're bang on, TC's been a tremendous ambassador for the club, given great service on and off the pitch over decades and it's sad not to see him around anymore.

They should have the clown from IT, then the whole thing can run with the current theme of being a nightmare from start to finish.

Pej has plenty to say and is a good summariser. He seemed to agree that the problems at Stoke go deeper than the manager. That only leaves John Coates since Scholes and the others have all left.How he adversely affects the team I can't say, but the implication was that Pej knows more about what goes on in the boardroom than any supporters, and I think that is probably true. Based on what? It should be obvious that he would have a superior knowledge of the game, and Stoke in particular, based on his achievements in the sport. Radio Stoke don't invite him to comment on matches for no reason. We as Stoke supporters are lucky to have Pej.

The idea that just because someone’s played the game it immediately elevates their opinion is antiquated. Radio Stoke invite him on because he’s a name. He’s a dinosaur.

Exactly mate the bloke retired from playing in 1980 so the fact that people think his opinion is holier than thou is outrageous. You got it spot on, the bloke is a dinosaur who knows fuck all about the modern game and has got on because he played for stoke forty odd years ago.

He's the lucky one dropping onto a job because he played for us fuck knows how long ago. He's also lucky he has fanboys like you who hang on to his everyword because he wouldn’t get a radio job anywhere else in the world.

Pej and Smithy I count as my heroes for what they did for Stoke in the 70's but both are terrible commentators. Radio Stoke should only be using people who have played for Stoke in the more recent past and have a much better understanding of the modern game.

Got back to the car yesterday after the game and turned radio Stoke on to hear Pejic. Turned it straight back off. Few years back used to have Gleghorn on and he was really good. Anyone know why he finished?

Shame because he was good but I didn't realise it was that long ago.

Mike Pejic played in the best team after 1947 that Stoke City ever produced (in the seventies), won several England caps and was in the League cup winning team of 1972, under Stoke's best ever manager Tony Waddington. Don't try to tell me football is better today, because it isn't, neither are the tactics better than they used to be. There is no continuous improvement, only periods which are better and which are worse. For Stoke they are going through a downgrade at present where any tactics or so-called modern thinking will make no difference to their performance or prospects. Only attracting talented players to the club with the right abilities will make a difference.

Did anyone pick up on what Pej said after the match about the managers and club now compared to when Gary Rowett left us? I got the distinct impression he was laying the blame 100% at the Board Room for the state of the club and the merry go round of managers? They do need to pick better candidates and this guy's time is nigh!
