I'm not saying Potter hasn't turned us down but I would just point out that this is an article that describes John Eustace as 'ex Stoke defender'. Just saying. I suggest persistence and alcohol to get a change of mind!

Former Stoke defender Eustace led Birmingham City to the Championship play-off positions in the early weeks of this season before being replaced by Wayne Rooney in a controversial move by the Blues’ new American owners. Jesus TeamTalk - Eustace never played as a defender for anyone. After Potter, Eustace is my favourite choice. Loved him as a player and he was doing good things at Birmingham until Rooney showed up out of the blue. Eustace is young enough and on the UP and UP - and has a clear connection with the club. We cant say for sure if it will be a success, but then we dont know with anybody. EUSTACE please Did Eustace and Gally play in the same team?

It reads like we are done with the Celts. The '3 men' are Smith, Heckingbottom or Wilder. A bloke from Smethwick or one of two dudes from Yorkshire. Wilder has just been reappointed at Sheffield United. BM

Not keen on an old timer like Bruce or Warnock but equally wary of an up and comer
Look how Jones panned out
Just wish we'd look overseas

Eustace, Heckingbottom and Smith. Christ alive. I'd take Eustace out of those three, but entirely lacking in any imagination Expect anything different? I’m so close to throwing the towel in with Stoke.

If Potter has been approached & he has said no, then you move onto next target i.e. someone decent

Yeah they were both at Stoke around 2005-2008 and both left around the same time. Both were quality footballers plying their trades in the lower divisions. I think they were both good enough for the Prem when at their best.

Both with us in the 2005/06 season under the great Johan Boskamp. Although one always uses the word 'played' cautiously when describing Eustace's time at the club, he was for the most part injured! NB I just double checked and Paul Gallagher was our top goal scorer that season with 12 goals, John Eustace did not play a single game.

I've said a few times now Ryan Mason would be one I'd seriously be looking to speak to.

It reflects what this poster said last night… maybe they have read that and gone with it 🙂 Potter has been approached He was approached last week We can’t afford to pay what Chelsea are currently paying him up, Quite rightly holding out for a prem job.

We shouldn't let that bad experience put us off unearthing the next McKenna or Carrick. Jones had experience as a Manager, McKenna and Carrick were brand new to management/ head coaching. If we're going down the proven manager role i'd go for Hassenhutl. If not then Mason or Terry stepping into first job as head coach. Let's face it, we're screwed.

Even if he has already rejected the job…
I feel a reverse George Burley may well occur.
Just as Neil Warnock is about to sign, Potter rushes in and shouts
“Don’t do it Neil.
I want it…
I need it…
I’ve got to have it!!!” 🙂

It does not work so ffs try something different and someone different!!

That really isn't the point I was making. They have signalled that they are prepared to spend (very) big on the next Stoke City manager, so when people suggest that Evatt would be too expensive, then I don't think that argument holds much water. Evatt's success has been based on three at the back. We've just moved away from the legacy of O'Neill's wing-back system and I just think we're in the position now that rather than rip everything up and try and go into rewind mode, we need a manager who can work with what we have and develop further. I think most would agree our current squad suits a 4-2-3-1 out of any formation. We need a manager with a track record of getting the best from four at the back, two DMs and effective wingers. Wow that’s a bit prescriptive why bother getting a manager/head coach at all. We’ve got owners too traumatised by Nathan Jones to try a up and coming progressive coach and fans so traumatised by 3 at the back that they only want a manager/head coach who plays a certain formation despite the fact he has his team top of their league scoring shit loads of goals with the one he plays.

By Terry do you mean Jon Terry?? and if so are you completely mental? Why? If you put him on the recent football players moving to Management and correlate with their IQ: Hes way below Steven Gerrard and even Frank Lampard. Hes on the Wayne Rooney kind of level surely. I would probably put him above Sol Campbell though. But thats not saying a lot.
