Two people who should be president are either Terry Conroy or George Berry and if they don’t want do it, fuck it I’ll do it!!!!!I don’t think that somebody who struggles with the English language, and who thinks the USA is in Europe, is the best choice for a global ambassadorial role.

Julian Clary would be my shout..... We could incorporate Fanny The Wonder Dog into a new club badge.

The role is worthwhile if we have someone of the stature to fill it.
Sir Stan and Banksy had than in spades.
I'm afraid there are no candidates anywhere near the stature to fill it, the clubs right to leave it open for the moment.

No. It just seems like a bit of a pointless thing that serves no real purpose. I think, in Stoke's case, the role is used as a form of Club Honour and recognition, to show respect and appreciation to a club legend. Many on here might want to make TP Club President, but I would think someone like Denis Smith or even Ryan Shawcross. I’d vote Denis Smith or Terry Conroy. Maybe co-Presidents? They are Stoke through and through.

So it needs to be someone known on the world stage if at all possible like previous incumbents Sir Stan and Gordon Banks. The only current contender is Peter Crouch.

The role is wholly insignificant outside of SOT. No-one even knew sir Gordon was our president (Central news tossers sent their cameras to the the king power to report when he died!! Ffs!) It's an honourary title bestowed on someone significant to US! Nothing more

I always thought we had it because it was Banks and he was so world renowned.

Fundamentally it is an honour for the person and it’s of local significance only. It should reflect service to the club ( especially in times when financial rewards were not what they have been in the past few decades) and pride in the city it represents. Denis Smith is made for the role as a local boy made good.

Shoukdnt even be in the thinking Outside the big clubs, not many will have the attachment to stars of the profile of Sir Stan and Gordon yet they all (or most) will have presidents. Denis would be perfect for it IMO

Pulis definitely not a high proportion of the fan base can’t stand the bloke, not exactly a model of virtue either. Shawcross has other potential avenues to enhance his standing even further with us he might even be our manager one day so horse before the cart in that one. It’s a nothing role but Denis would be universally acceptable I would have thought.
