No, white collar with stripes. I’ll try to find a pic

Yes, my favourite shirt is the white crew neck (in cotton) from the early 70s. I think that’s the archetypal Stoke shirt.

Too much red. Should be three white stripes and two red. White stripes at the edges. Red lettering on a white backdrop. Dominance of red evokes Sheffield Utd, , Sunderland, Southampton.

Sol Sidibe and his management are also a consideration. Even if we play him regularly in the Championship for a year, Stoke to a Champions League club is a stretch. It may be that Villa with development plan is seen as a great next step for him.

I'm pleased this design is now likely - I bought three online in February while I was a bit pissed (was under £50 in total). I'll almost certainly never wear mine, but at least it's the right design.

J C will want to leave a legacy (premier league status) and will want a few more attempts at achieving this. That said, relegation this season pushes the prospect back by at least two years (and additional complexity / difficulty) so a decision to sell would be more likely as a L1 side in my view.

I felt we deserved something out of the game, though we don't respect possession sufficiently , and our decision making in the final third was abject. It was classless ( and unwarranted) to chant about Tyrese and the game became more confrontational afterwards ~ we were making headway beforehand.

He was my choice to be the Stoke manager the last three times. An original thinker, unencumbered by adhering to expected behaviours. Or possibly just a little unhinged.

Last season it was the wide players (Junho , Manhoef , Campbell) who was us over the line at the end of the season. This year, it's the (reintroduced) full backs who have made a difference, along with the return of Pearson. Junior and Bocat have been great in Feb and March.

We apparently lacked confidence in the permanent market as the quality was unreachable, unproven or indifferent.

We clearly thought this was a better (or more dependable) option than signing a player for £1m , who would be our asset, and likely earning less wages, albeit tied to the club on a contract should things not work out .

I think it's more to do with players of recognisable quality being tied up in the prem , and the risk equation. Al Hamadi cost £1m (?) loan fee plus wages , is cup tied and wasn't match fit when signed.

I really dislike being beholden to Prem teams for loans, having to compete for the chance to develop their players for them.
As a Premier team, we seldom succeeded in loaning players out, at least not on any scale, or for fees that constituted a significant income stream.

Hopefully, this likely new Head of Recruitment (Newman) goes a bit deeper than data alone,and identifies targets who want to improve both themselves and the team.
