People with the surname Potter that there's more chance of:
Dennis Brian Harry Beatrix

Maybe Guardiola could be tempted to prove he can do it in the 2nd division too?
EDIT - admin merging the Potter thread with this one has taken my comment out of context.

I think any half decent coach/manager that plays modern, progressive, front foot attacking football could get a tune out of the squad we have. Obviously we’ll need to add to defence (massively) and depending on whether maaee kicks on or not a decent forward in Jan but I still think it’s entirely possible. The lads we have now look to be going out under the instruction of what their manager knows! League 1/lower half championship style plodding football. Slow tedious build up, terrible passing game, hoofing it to Wesley and missing everyone out, a daft headless chicken press that simply doesn’t work etc etc. Its what Neil would have played at Hamilton and it’s what he’s coached since being a manager. Stoke city right now needs a much more high tempo and confident style with the players that they have and when in possession of the football. My main worry is that a hybrid of Pep Guardiola and Alex Ferguson couldn’t walk in and sort our pathetic defence.

If we're rounding up wild punt rookie options...Ryan Mason? theathletic.com/4574635/2023/06/03/tottenham-ryan-mason/Everyone at Spurs, the players included, knows that Mason fully backs himself to succeed as a head coach. It’s a view shared by many in football. Outside of Tottenham, Mason’s coaching and leadership skills have already attracted interest from Championship clubs and ones in Europe. At Premier League level, his work has not gone unnoticed. He may need to serve his apprenticeship lower down the pyramid first, but an aspiring young coach should feel that there will be Premier League opportunities at some point next season. After all, the fact that so many clubs were forced to turn to veteran firefighters in the season just gone suggests an absence of younger options coming through. Or perhaps that clubs are unwilling to gamble on youth. Either way, more experience as a No 1 would surely help Mason’s case for achieving his ambition of becoming a Premier League manager. Especially given he already has five years’ worth of coaching under his belt, working alongside respected managers such as Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Conte. Internally, Mason’s five weeks in charge have boosted his reputation. In general, there is regret at Spurs that Mason didn’t get the job when Conte left at the end of March. That was the senior players’ preference and would have seen Mason have 10 games and a fair crack at making proper changes.

He had great success in Sweden and also with Brighton, but could he turn our luck if given the chance? Really wanted to post some thing like this, but thought id get shot down. Id love potter yes yes yes.

Hilarious how some of you think it’s actually possible he would even consider us.
His stock is higher and this is a poisoned chalice.
He will steer well clear.

I think the chances of him coming are slimmer than Charles Hawtrey but yes would do it for me
I see lot of Potter in the circle Brugge manager who would be my choice and possibly realistic

A handful of unremarkable results for Spurs does not qualify him for a job in the cut and thrust of the Championship. To be honest, Mason has always come across as a bit too nice and a bit ‘meek’. No wonder Spurs’ underachieving prima donnas wanted him. They didn’t like someone with balls like Conte ordering them about. Mason’s not one you can trust to make hard decisions.

it’s unbelievable that ppl think he would It’s not even like he was a Stoke legend or anything like that. He had one noteworthy season under Lou that took us to the playoffs. He played far more games for York. Guess what, he’s not going there either! Southgate will be gone after the Euros next year, and Potter will surely be a shoe-in to succeed him. The one shred of hope we might have of getting him is a clause that allows him to be automatically released from his contract if England come calling.

Just sign him at left back. He'd be a vast improvement.

Graham potter likes to play attractive football, our players in my opinion are not capable of that( I include all of our new signings barring vidigal and maybe burger)…so it would mean another reset and a flirt with ffp. We are stuck with what we have! P.s he wouldn’t come anyway What a ridiculous statement. It’s September and some have been injured. Some haven’t even played. God help anyone who joins Stoke. You have 90 minutes to settle in. Even if it’s a new league in a new country FFS. Seriously FFS

Should have had him when we had the chance. Can see him wanted a Premier League job, can see him at Everton. Would love him here though. Personally hoping Neil turns it round and would give him until end of October but all depends on if he has lost the dressing room. But, I understand we can't afford to slip too far and get in a rut because not sure how much fight this squad has for a relegation battle.

True but as long as he's there and we have money to tempt him always a chance.They're not a big club at all in reality and a manager who has worked his way up through many levels including the 2nd division there . He might not be in the slightest bit interested as you say but not completely out of the question.

That's interesting that they a champ team is interested. Been banging his drum for a while as think would be a bit of a wild card but worth a gamble. Would the championship and a team of our size be tempting over a smallish club in Belgium.....I would think maybe but he won't be around long at Circle you'd think.

Yeah, you'd think we're more attractive than Cercle Brugge - with gates of 4000 and salary a fraction of what we could pay? But he could maybe think he's already in a position to jump straight to a top league without needing an intermediate jump to a league like the Champ. Interesting name though, and if he was offered the job, you'd think someone in his position would give it serious thought - just for the salary. You'd hope the net would be cast in these kind of areas. Don't know what the situation is with permits - I think Sheff Utd missed out on the manager they wanted because he couldn't get a permit

The stoke job will be appealing to many managers. We've given Neil plenty of time, a year of near constant defeat.
A new manager will get lots of time as well, and will have a good budget to work with, and only really needs to focus on a few positions to make things work.

I would bet good money that Stoke City are not the champ club who are monitoring him, because it's never us. We'll monitor stodgy British managers and you'll like it. My money would be on Watford, we're getting around manager change time for them

Depends if he holds Bosnian or Austrian nationality or both I guess . No idea what the laws are these days to be honest
