This board is hilarious. The local paper with a reasonable insight into the club suggests we're setting our cap at Potter and everyone screams 'made up bollocks'. Some random nobody on a half arsed website with no obvious connections to the club suggests we 'might' have 'contacted' Dean Smith and it's believed hook line and sinker and the club is 'shit' and has 'no ambition'. You really couldn't make it up. Its why we come on mate....

Very ambitious that. Fair play to you lot if you manage to get him in. There’s absolutely no chance with our owners and btw thanks for AN 🤬🤬🤬🤬 You’re welcome mate.

I suspect the truth lies between Potter and Smith, I'd be staggered if we ended up with either.

If we sell this to him well there is a chance. He knows we have the cash does he have the ambition (or stupidity) to build a club from here.... My thoughts too. Although we'll probably end up with Dean Smith who'll be a complete failure at Stoke.

If he flopped here his stock falls massively, he'll wait for a prem job and I dont blame him.

They need to write it into his contract that he publicly apologises for missing that sitter at Filbert Street in the play offs. I’ll then begrudgingly give him five games before I boo his formation.

Wonder if we'd get bearded, suave roll-neck jumper superclub-managing Graham Potter or cuddly Brummie-next-door Graham Potter if it did happen?

The Coates family need to sign potter or someone like him to galvanise the fans and the club again , it can’t be an easy target like smith , I would like potter 💯 but if we can’t get him what about Viera

If there is anything in this it tells me JC is willing to change because someone like Potter doesn't come to Stoke without massive assurances on a change of structure.
It's a huge long shot of course but if you don't shoot you don't score.

He knows we have the cash does he have the ambition (or stupidity) to build a club from here.... loads of investment, new premier league level training ground upgrades, he will have unlimited backing and would likely be on very good wages. But would he be willing to drop down to the champ I suspect a non-negotiable caveat from Potter would be immediate release from his contract if a Premier League job or the England post was offered to him. That would involve us needing to ensure we had a robust succession plan in place to ensure all of Graham's good work doesn't fall apart. Could anyone on this Board trust JC and Tricky to demonstrate such forward planning?

Bear in mind if takes a prem job and bombs say forest or similar, his. stock is also gone not that straight forward. Apart from Stoke fans we have probably the best and one of the balanced owned clubs in the country.

Just need to mention a name on here and it will be picked up by some journo. It's pretty obvious RS & Sentinel get 'inspiration' from here ... no real insight provided.

The one thing he would have is time, taking a relegation threatened club would give him 6 months, Forest chairman is bonkers mad, Wolves skint, Palace maybe? Burnley? Not a chance with top 10 clubs after his massive fail at Chelsea, Not a lot of options. Although he could just spend his massive payoff from Chelsea and enjoy it

Has it been allowed to emerge in this way so we can say "Look, we really tried" when we end up with someone meh - or do we, after initial feelers, think there's a slight chance? Hmm. You remember how we got to Lambert right? I’m getting Deja vu.

We need to stop this Potter talk. It’s fanciful, pie in the sky nonsense. He’s not coming to Stoke City.
