Ok was told on Monday top 2 targets are Potter and McKenna (lordb) will confirm. Hence why I said either would take a hell of a lot of persuading. If Nuno is possible, get him in I suppose when on a Monday as Smith had Potter on list but was discounted by tea time? Who knows?

If Nuno is possible, get him in Surely the board aren’t that stupid. That shortlist is the football equivalent of picking the two fittest girls in your school year when asked who you fancy. But you’re a 4 foot dweeb who talks about Stoke City all day (anecdote may or may not be about 11-year-old me).

McKenna would be certifiably insane to even consider Stoke right now.

I think you might stand a chance with those two girls.

If Nuno is possible, get him in That's more like it buddy. Though I'm actually more astounded we are trying for McKenna even more than Potter! In what world would a manager surely Premier League bound with his team be interested in coming here? If he left all that just for the money we'd throw at him, I'm not sure I want him tbh. Thanks for the update. Much appreciated.

McKenna wouldn't come here. He has everything to lose by doing so. If they were midtable and having just a decent run then maybe at a push. Top of the league and flying? It would take a seriously strong substance to get him to accept the 'challenge'.

Announcement time at the 365? Just drove past the stadium and the new red and white lights that shine towards the back of the stands are on.
Unless someone forgot to switch them off from last night then otherwise it’s coming out of the Jan budget!!

If Nuno is possible, get him in Certainly bold and I would imagine both will have told us to piss off. McKenna is onto something special at Ipswich and will clearly be in the PL with or without them in the next 6 months. Ambition is one thing but bloody hell, what are we going to offer him that’s going to make him come here?

If Nuno is possible, get him in Probably in the minority here but I really wouldn't want McKenna. It stinks of a jones/Neil appointment. Riding the crest of a wave. Positive vibe about the place and doing well. We are a completely different proposition and would simply pee more money down the grid in terms of compensation even if we could convince him. 100% no from me.

That's just classic Stoke though isn't it.
Instead of doing some research and some networking and finding the next McKenna, we just think we can try to use our financial clout and tempt him here.
It's pathetic.

There’s being ambitious and then there’s thinking you could land Potter or McKenna.
Oh dear.

What are Ipswich owners like. Do they have loads of pennies or are they punching at the moment and if they do last the pace and go up, are they potentially a straight back down job?

It's pathetic. Yeah but that’s how the game is these days It's how Stoke are, most other clubs are out there finding these nu-wave managers themselves. We're borderline arrogant with how we go about things. Clubs like Cardiff having good season with some unknown Turkish manager. Yet we think we can just go and try to poach the manager from top of the league
