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 ruled everyone out, even chlamydia..

If potter comes here I’ll bare my arse in the centre circle at the first home game he is in charge. If we get Dean Smith will you bear it at JC in the directors box

If he flopped here his stock falls massively, he'll wait for a prem job and I dont blame him. 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. If that does happen, he can still end up at a ‘stoke’ type club. We need to stop it, there’s no chance he’s coming here.

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 He's probably enjoying himself as Strasbourg manager in French top flight to fancy a relegation battle to avoid league 1

If we got Potter the fans would give him full support for a lot longer than any other manager we have had for a while. Bringing success here would raise his profile even further too. Potter is a proper manager who should be our number one target and I don't think coming to this basket case of a club would do him that much harm.

Has anything actually 'been allowed to emerge' though? Isn't this a case of Pete just publishing the exact (non) story that you would expect from any local hack at this juncture? There isn't even a "sources suggest" in there.

A lot of us down trodden Stokies on here doffing our caps to our betters and not dreaming of being ambitious.
We are a football financial superpower.

Will we look at managers from the leagues below us?
John Mousinho at Portsmouth Ian Evatt at Bolton and alike?

He should be the top target but it will never happen.
As an aside, I'm not sure he will have the fondest of memories of his time here. I think he was someone that used to be groaned at and wasn't universally popular or that is certainly my memory of it. Very happy to be told I'm wrong.

Who's second on the list, King Charles III? Potter likes to develop play from the back and plays keep ball, our backline cannot even pass water so how the fuck would he be a success at our club?

Having rich owners does not make the club a financial “superpower”. The fans have no say or influence, we are just interested observers who have seen the board saddle us with one crap manager after another.

I remember him as a player so bang average and nondescript you barely knew he was there! 😆

Yeah ... this is just nonsense really.
There is no way that he will be interested in us. He has already turned down Rangers and Lyon - he will have plenty of options over the coming months.
The only thing that might play into our favour is if we offered him a long term deal and he had an interest in a long term project.
Nigh on impossible that this actually happens.

Colin wanker is becoming quite an attractive proposition until the end of the season if that list from team talk is anything to go by!
