Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Stoke City

Million Manhoef was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match29 Aug 2026

3 matches without a goal for Stoke City

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Bosun Lawal

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match29 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Stoke City against Wrexham

0‑1 to Wrexham, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Million Manhoef

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The plan did not have a place for Ben Wilmot

Nobody at Stoke City is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Stoke City say no — this time

The offer from Triestina for Nathan Lowe was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Stoke City

Róbert Boženík was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Stoke City

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Match15 Aug 2026

Stoke City come up short against Coventry City

Coventry City left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market17 Aug 2026

Stoke City promote George Jackson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. George Jackson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market17 Aug 2026

Stoke City promote Christopher Davies from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Christopher Davies has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Oliver Morgan joins the Stoke City first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Oliver Morgan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Bae Jun-Ho falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

In brief

  • Squad The manager has not finished forgetting Lewis Baker's mistake
  • Boardroom No investment in the facilities at Stoke City
  • Squad Tatsuki Seko gets it from the manager

VfB Stuttgart come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Stoke City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market3 Aug 2026

Viktor Johansson wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Stoke City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Viktor Johansson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Viktor Johansson and Stoke City agree another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Bosun Lawal in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Stoke City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market3 Aug 2026

Triestina watching Nathan Lowe

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Stoke City have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
