Stoke City free of external debt - now where's the sniping?
- Thread starter fbloke
- Start date
According to the statement on the official Stoke site today chairman Coates and family are about to convert the £24 million that they have lent to the club into equity - so the club will be completely debt free.
Big smiles.
I remember when we were like you.

Because it's a thread about my club on a public messageboard.
By the way, The Oatcake messageboard (the fanzine we've had for 20 years now) is possibly in the top 3 busiest in football. Some of us like to banter/debate etc with others.
Well, with those with their heads out of the sand, like a couple on this thread.

Calm down Pam! You don't have to do you so just chill ;-)Pam said:Dannyctid said:Fair play to them, they've done well as far as I can see.
The press aren't sniping at them because it's not a story! Good luck to them.
Their fans are shite and they play the most vile style of football imaginable. I could not watch that week in week out.

And yet Man City play the beautiful game...NOT
Man City have target men like Adebayor, RSC, Benjani(Was).
You cannot moan about Stoke's style really as you are not even close to Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Ure or even Burnley in the footballing stakes.
The following teams play the ball from front to back quickly.......Aston Villa, Everton, Sunderland, Fulham, Spurs, West Ham, Man City, Blackburn, Bolton.
The constant griping about other teams football I could understand if you were Barcelona....
You may have money, you may be getting a decent manager in the summer BUT you seem to be losing your realism...

Why so many threads, topics, comments on us then...
Had an odd conversation with one of my customers this week.
"Yeah I'm off to Stoke tomorrow to watch City"
"Stoke City? Someone's been hassling me for ages to invest money in them, to take it over"
"Pardon?"
"He keeps telling me 'come on, join us in this consortium, we're going to buy the club, part of a property deal'."
"Why don't you?"
"I'm too busy to do all the paperwork involved, too much hassle"
"Risky business football though"
"Yeah that too, what league are they in anyway Stoke?"
"The Premier League"
"That's the top one right?"
"...yeah"
Very, very odd conversation!
